Sunday afternoons have their own particular energy, unhurried, slightly nostalgic, perfect for films that take their time. Science fiction that uses its premise to ask real questions about humanity, technology, and what comes next. All from the 2020s, proving that great cinema is still being made right now. Each of these lands a finale you won't see coming, and can't stop thinking about afterward.
