Planning a night in with your girlfriend calls for something that hits emotionally, films that spark conversation long after the credits roll. 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. Films that rewrote the rules and influenced everything that came after them.
