"Out of all genres, science-fiction certainly allots filmmakers a wide range of subjects and visuals they can explore. Still, not every sci-fi feature can balance that unlimited creativity and still make a great movie. Of course, the 2020s have had some stand-out sci-fi movies, with 'Dune,' 'Avatar: The Way of Water,' and 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' exemplary of the continued dominance and evolution of the genre. However, here we want to celebrate those that are not just great movies, but really push boundaries to offer creative visions. Many of these films lack a big budget, to make them box office fodder, but they have endeared themselves to fans with their unique approach; from storytelling to visuals, all these sci-fi features push the boundaries of the genre in all the right ways." - movieweb.com
