For those who dream of living on other planets and discovering alternative universes, there is science fiction, that genre that transports us to other realities through the technology we already know. They say that his name is actually a mistranslation of ‘science fiction’ and that what it really means is science fiction. In any case, since the beginning of the 20th century, it has made us think about more advanced civilizations and, above all, about how things can go horribly wrong if we don’t improve as a species.

If all this calls you, here we have compiled five movies about unknown planets, time loops and human killing machines that you will love. In total, 5 science fiction movies to watch on Netflix.
