9. Love and Monsters (2020)

Remember that comet? Well, in Love and Monsters, humankind actually paid attention and destroyed the asteroid that endangered our species.

8. Godzilla vs. Kong (2021)

Everyone loves King King now, and the humans are trying to find the native land of the giant ape. This quest doesn’t sound too dangerous… Until Godzilla rolls in and clashes with Kong.

7. Ad Astra (2019)

From the dawn of time, humans have been looking up into the sky and wondering what lies beyond our planet’s confinement.

6. The Platform (2019)

Most people would agree that prisons are no fun; but that’s only because most people are not aware of The Platform’s vertical prison.
