14 Thought-Provoking Sci-Fi Films To Stream On Netflix Right Now

14. Mr. Nobody

Fate can be cruel or it can be pleasant: either way there’s no way to escape it. The film tells of Nemo Nobody, who at a young age makes a decision that will affect the rest of his life (as all decisions do). Showing Nemo’s life, and the alternate realities his decisions have created, the film is as visually stunning as it is ambitious.

Jared Leto’s gives a singular performance that’s in the vain of the ensemble’s full range in Cloud Atlas. The movie makes the viewers think about not only the choices they make and what it means for their life, but how time is precious. A line of dialogue articulately explains the protagonist’s main conflict, “The smoke comes out of Daddy's cigarette, but it never goes back in. We cannot go back. That's why it's hard to choose.”

Don’t let the film’s box office bombing scare you away, the film has become a cult classic that rivals that of Predestination or Interstellar in its observation of time and choice.
