Collider ranks the five greatest science fiction films released since 2020, arguing the genre has thrived this decade by pairing bold, inventive concepts with contemporary concerns. The list highlights films that reimagine familiar sci-fi ideas, from multiverse stories to kaiju epics and artificial intelligence, praising their emotional depth alongside their ambition.

Topping the ranking so far is Everything Everywhere All at Once, the Daniels' Oscar-winning multiverse film starring Michelle Yeoh, praised for its originality despite its chaotic mix of genres. Also featured are Godzilla Minus One, the Oscar-winning 2023 kaiju film set in post-war Japan that restores dread and emotional weight to the character, and Kogonada's After Yang, a quiet, thoughtful drama about a family repairing an android, starring Colin Farrell and Jodie Turner-Smith.
