Best Sci-Fi Movies of the 2020s So Far, Ranked by IQ Score
Half-decade into the 2020s, sci-fi cinema's auteur era continued. Ranked by IQ Score.
The 2020s in sci-fi cinema is the decade Denis Villeneuve's Dune adaptation reshaped what science-fiction can be at scale. Dune (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024) demonstrate that prestige sci-fi remains commercially viable. Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022) won 7 Oscars and reset the multiverse-genre register.
Anchor picks: Dune: Part Two is the most-formally-disciplined entry. After Yang (2021) is Kogonada's contemplative-AI canonical entry. Everything Everywhere All at Once is the catalog's most-genre-fluid entry.
