Getting the whole family to agree on a film is rare, these are the ones that genuinely work for everyone in the room. Science fiction that uses its premise to ask real questions about humanity, technology, and what comes next. All from the 2000s, a decade that produced some of the most ambitious and original films in recent memory. The conversation doesn't end when the credits roll, these live in your head long after.
