I’m looking for some fun and modern sci-fi movies without superheros; lots of dark and incoherent ones for sure. What am I missing?
I feel like SciFi has shifted to tv more for the longer and more complex storytelling.
Fun sci-fi for sure
Dune part 2 is in theaters now. Meanwhile, Marvel is releasing Deadpool 3 and DC plans to release Joker 2 in the fall. It’s a really light year for superhero movies.
If you’re looking for a recommendation, I have They Cloned Tyrone on my watchlist, but I haven’t seen it yet.
They Cloned Tyrone is excellent.
Okay good someone else immediately thought this too. If anything making sci-fi more popular has increased the number, and there’s a lot of chaff for sure, but there’s a lot of really good stuff too.
It’s a really light year for superhero movies.
Sony has already released a superhero movie last month, with two more on the way this year. But we don’t talk about those.
I literally was not counting them.
Eh, I’m more concerned with the Star-Wars-ification of Sci-Fi. As in Sci-Fi movies being about starships going boom with lots of pew-pew.
And always multi part

Free Guy, Boss Level… maybe Fried Barry if that kind of film speaks to you.
There’s some good series too - Resident Alien and Scavengers Reign come to mind.
Scavengers Reign was such a refreshing reset for me!
FG and FB were fun but BL was filled with bad GCI which I am not as much of a fan of.
I highly recommend you this the youtube channel DUST.
Times like that are the best to go back through and find movies you missed or that flew under the radar. For example, the movie Dark City. I’ve watched that film more times than I care to admit, but when I ask people about it a lot have never even heard about it.
This was all poorly worded because I haven’t be awake for long but I hope my point comes across.

I think your right. Sure, there are still some great non-superhero sci-fi movies coming out. But I agree, the superhero subgenre has done a bit of a number of the wider genre.
I really don’t like that of all the things they took away from these Disney movies is the humor. A lot of modern movies have that dumbass Disney humor. It feels like people yelling bazinga at each other.
Fifth Element is the last one I could think of.
For television, hard to beat Firefly.
For books, I’d suggest the Matador series by Steve Perry. Criminal shame those haven’t been adapted yet.
I just started to watch the series Resident Alien and I like it a lot. It’s about an alien who stranded on Earth.
Anything Alan Tudyk is in is golden imo.
Palm springs was hilarious and very fun, although not hard sci fi it was still an interesting take.
Ready player one wasn’t too bad
More tv shows. Ive recently watched silo and recommend it highly. Also Dune part 2 obviously.
