Five Science Fiction Movies to Stream Now
This roundup surveys recent streaming science-fiction films that probe identity, consequence and social decay, with perceptive reviews of [[Significant Other]], [[Infinity Pool]], [[Costa Brava, Lebanon]], [[Unidentified Objects]] and [[Simulant]]. Each title uses genre mechanics differently: [[Significant Other]] blends horror dread with relationship anxiety; [[Infinity Pool]] satirizes wealth and cloning to expose moral rot; [[Costa Brava, Lebanon]] reframes ecological collapse through family drama; [[Unidentified Objects]] is a low-budget road movie about odd encounters and personal quests; and [[Simulant]] examines artificial consciousness and love in a near-future surveillance economy. The critic weighs filmmaking craft — pacing, performances and atmosphere — alongside thematic urgency, urging viewers to consider how technology, entitlement and environmental decline reshape intimate life even as the films’ tones range from bleak to darkly comic.
