As always, we’ve sifted through Netflix’s streaming library to bring you the very best sci-fi movies to stream this October. This month, we’ve got a critically acclaimed classic courtesy of filmmaker Michel Gondry starring Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet, the best modern Star Trek movie to date, and a classic trilogy of mecha anime films.

I love watching all the best Netflix sci-fi movies and science fiction as a whole! It's been responsible for some of the best moments in cinema. Who can forget Luke Skywalker destroying the death star in Star Wars: A New Hope? Roy Batty's Tears in Rain speech in Blade Runner? Or when Neo dodged bullets in slo-mo in The Matrix?
