Most sci-fi these days looks like it was written by an AI on Red Bull.

Shiny suits, space lasers, way too many speeches about saving the galaxy. It's loud, clean, and kind of forgettable. But the good stuff? The stuff that actually sticks with you? That comes from a different corner of the genre. The darker one. The messy one. The paranoid, smoke-filled, morally bankrupt side of sci-fi. That's where the noir lives.

And if you've never gone down that rabbit hole, June 2025 is the time to do it. Netflix, Prime, and a few of the other usual suspects are finally stocked with the kind of sci-fi that's less about aliens and more about guilt. Identity. Surveillance. Technology that doesn't save us—it breaks us. And instead of heroes, you get washed-up detectives, burned-out replicants, and people who barely understand what planet they're even on.

These are the movies that make you pause and think, "Wait, are we already living in this?" Films soaked in neon and cigarette smoke. Dialogues that sound like confessions. Stories where the future isn't something to look forward to—it's something you survive. Barely.

So if you're tired of clean-cut space operas and want something a little sleazier, a little more cynical, but a lot more gripping, this is your list. These are the best sci-fi noirs to stream right now—and they don't just predict the future. They indict it.
