As always, we’ve sifted through Netflix’s streaming library to bring you the very best sci-fi movies to stream this October. This month, we’ve got a critically acclaimed classic courtesy of filmmaker Michel Gondry starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, the best modern Star Trek movie to date, and a classic trilogy of mecha anime films.

I love watching all the best Netflix sci-fi movies and science fiction as a whole! It's been responsible for some of the best moments in cinema. Who can forget Luke Skywalker destroying the death star in Star Wars: A New Hope? Roy Batty's Tears in Rain speech in Blade Runner? Or when Neo dodged bullets in slo-mo in The Matrix?

Sonic the Hedgehog, Chucky movies, Identity Thief, and more fan-favorite movies are leaving Netflix by the end of October 2024.

With countless movies, TV shows and specials being added to streaming every single week, it can be hard to keep up with what’s new and worth watching on Netflix. The world’s biggest streaming service has a healthy (and overwhelming) stream of new content all the time.
