I'd put Everything Everywhere All at Once on that list, depending how you define sci-fi. One of the best films of the decade, in my opinion.

I really want to know why you liked it, reason I ask is I came into the movie wanting to love it and couldn't finish it(ended it half way). I just disliked it so much. For me: the story seemed so childish(like a middle schooler wrote it), the characters didn't seem quite interesting(I did like that the main character was an older lady as you do not see that typically in film), and the dialogue really corny. I know alot of people love it and am curious on what about it made it so entertaining.

  For me, it resonated strongly with me because I"m a middle aged Asian American with immigrant parents and I have young kids. It hits me in a lot of levels emotionally. I get why someone who doesn't share my background not get it. Also, you kind of need to be in the mood for that type of humor.

  For me, there's a lot more going on in this film in the subtext. It's a story about people struggling to find meaning and beauty in an absurd and often cruel world where everything is kinda going to shit. I also love a good martial arts movie, and Michelle Yeoh is awesome. The fight scenes are fantastic and hilarious. And finally, the film manages a big-budget feel while it cost somewhere between 14 and 25 million to make, which is nothing compared to the average blockbuster. Avengers Endgame, for example, cost over 300 million. I have a lot of appreciation for that sort of thing.

I don't think that's sci-fi. The mythology is on the level of filthy frank omniverse tbh. Still, a good movie.

SciFi TV and movies ALL depend how you define SciFi, as arguably most of what passes for it is more like fantasy or horror with the aesthetics of something ...sciencey. Good thing I like those genres too.
