When you're sick of watching the same old dramas or if rom-coms were never your thing, Sci-Fis can be the perfect addition to your watchlist, and there are some that we think are truly worth watching. Even the same old sci-fis can be boring, but some listings on Netflix are paving ways for newer concepts.

Here are 5 gripping Sci-Fi movies you can watch on Netflix this weekend -

1. Snowpiercer

Created by Oscar-winning director Bong Joon, "Snowpiercer" starring Chris Evans is a sci-fi that explores human adaptation to a catastrophic climate change disaster. Occurring entirely on a train, this thriller takes us through the stories of the last few survivors of a blunderous climate experiment and a revolution that is to follow.

2. District 9

If aliens lived on earth with humans, how do you think the dynamics would function? District 9 is now on Netflix exploring exactly such a premise with a concentration camp holding aliens and a novel take on apartheid and social issues in the new dynamics of the world. A sci-fiction which has something subtle to say about society, just the thing we needed!

3. Killer Klowns from Outer Space

Killer Klowns is a show based on a scary invasion by aliens that happen to look like disproportionate clowns. A group of teenagers find out that a suspicious comet carries these aliens and this classic horror film proceeds to show how these clowns have everyone in laughter, well, until they get a hold of you, that is!

4. The Cloverfield Paradox
