10 Most Anticipated Sci-Fi Movies Still To Come In 2023
10. Bird Box: Barcelona
Within four weeks, Bird Box became the most watched streamed film in Netflix history - an accolade it maintained for three years. Due to the movie's unprecedented success, it's pretty bewildering it didn't spawn a follow-up.
Until now. After a couple of false starts, the post-apocalyptic thriller is finally getting a spin-off called Bird Box: Barcelona.
This time around, a father called Sebastian seeks sanctuary for himself and his daughter after the world is invaded by extradimensional beings that compel anyone that looks at them to kill themselves. When Sebastian discovers what he believes to be a safe haven, he's horrified to learn of a looming threat that may be worse than the alien entities.
Although some properties work better as a stand-alone, Bird Box should be expanded, due to its fascinating premise. Although the original was entertaining, how the deadly force decimated society was barely explored. If Bird Box: Barcelona has similar success as its predecessor, it might lead to further instalments, which explore the origins and consequences of this unseen threat.
Bird Box: Barcelona will be released on Netflix sometime in 2023.
