IO Last On Earth

Oxygen is one of the best sci-fi movies released in 2021 that most audiences haven't heard of. The French film was released on Netflix to critical praise. The plot followed a woman who wakes up in a malfunctioning cryogenic chamber with no memory of who she is, how to get out and how she got there. But her oxygen is running out.

What follows is a thrilling mystery movie with Melanie Laurent giving a stellar performance. She must figure out her past to combat her present, working out what lead her to this place in order to escape from her slow death. Several twists and interesting curveballs keep the audience on the edge of their seats the entire time.

With the success of foreign language films and TV in recent years, Oxygen is a movie left too far at the back. It may not have gained as much popularity as some of the other entries on this list however it deserves to be reverred as one of the best Netflix Original sci-fi movies.

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.
