However, if you’re in the mood for some sci-fi movie streaming on Netflix this July, we have the perfect recommendations for you.

Editor’s pick: Life
Director: Daniel Espinosa
Cast: Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds, Hiroyuki Sanada
Despite initial assumptions, the 2017 sci-fi thriller “Life” stands out on its own without any ties to established comic book franchises. With a blend of “Alien” and “Gravity,” the film offers a thrilling experience directed by Daniel Espinosa. From space station disasters to encounters with alien creatures, “Life” delivers shocking moments and intense action, making it a must-watch for sci-fi fans.
“Life” introduces a team of astronauts dealing with a dangerous alien organism that threatens their lives onboard the space station. As the creature evolves and becomes a deadly threat, the cast delivers strong performances, keeping the audience on the edge of their seats. Directed with precision and featuring unexpected twists, “Life” is a solid B-movie choice for a summer movie night. —Matt Patches
