Hidden gem sci-fi movies
Big ideas, far futures, and the films people most love to debate.

Right now that includes Neon Genesis Evangelion: The End of Evangelion, Transformers One and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2. Surface one for the group and call it a discovery.

FAQ
- What makes a sci-fi film a "hidden gem" here?
- A high weighted rating combined with a relatively small number of votes — films that are well-loved by the people who've seen them but haven't reached a wide audience yet.
- Are foreign-language films included?
- Yes. Hidden-gem lists span all languages, which is often where the most overlooked sci-fi movies live.
- Can I make a poll from these?
- Yes — tap "Use This Template" and the picks pre-load into a shareable poll.
