10 Netflix Original Sci-Fi Movies You Need To See

8. Spectral

IO Last On Earth
Netflix

Spectral was the 2016 sci-fi action movie that delivers big on its battle promises. When a mysterious alien invasion is threatening to take over the world, an elite military unit must fight them off in a devastated New York. But the aliens they are fighting are near invisible. They must use cunning, smarts and above all else, big, explosive firepower.

An adrenaline-fuelled sci-fi epic, Spectral is full of all the explosions, guns and threat to satisfy sci-fi and action fans alike. The ensemble cast play charismatic characters and treat the audience to edge-of-your-seat excitement from the very start. It may not be the most complicated or thought-provoking of movies, but if you are a fan of large action and scary aliens then its the exact popcorn accompaniment.

The ghost-like villains give the movie a genuine horror vibe with a distinct Alien influence. Spectral is never the forefront of cinematic originality but with its impressive CGI, kick-ass core of characters and straight to the point plot, it is a perfect easy-watching Netflix sci-fi Original.

If you have clicked on here, get ready to be bored. I'm just a 20 year old white male who has a (probably) unhealthy obsession with pop culture Film and TV. Handy in a trivia game but not much else. My parents were never murdered, I'm not avenging my dead wife. Just plain, old sat at a computer with a head full of knowledge I mostly don't use I was born and raised in the Black Country near Birmingham, England however am now living in Manchester, England after I moved here two years ago. I currently attend the University of Salford, studying Broadcast Journalism. That's it really. Told you there was nothing special. If you're really that desperate for something to do, follow me on socials. Yes, I do like that ego boost.
