The famed new French extremism director of the subgenres masterpiece hot tension Alexandra Aja is recognized for his extreme tendencies. He is no stranger to putting his characters in intense blood-curdling situations in which the very fabric of their beings is on the line. But unlike the rest of his work, oxygen is essentially a love letter to fundamentally well-being a horror show with redemption coursing through its veins.
Melanie Lawrence portrays a lady who wakes up in a cryogenic chamber with no recognition of who she is or how she got there. Milo the pod's internal computer system notifies her that her oxygen reserve is just 33% and going down fast. We barely get a glimpse of the inside of this pod so we don't know where she is, but the importance of escaping cannot be overstated.
9. Space sweepers
A mess of a story that was yet beautiful to look at introduced southeast Asia’s big budget sci-fi to Netflix’s audience. Korean filmmaker Jo Sung-hee’s space sweepers is a lot more united and coherent peace with flair.

Also, a rough gang of space junk collectors is each looking out for their self-interest when they come upon a captivating little girl who entangles them in much broader worries.
it's a perfect entry for Korea’s first sci-fi blockbuster with exciting characters, spectacular action sequences, and an engaging plot.
8. The soul

During the inquiry, the prosecutor Liang Wan Chao and his wife, criminal police A Bao discovered that the victim’s son Wang Tian Yu, the young newly wedded wife Li Yan, long-term partner Wan Yu fan, and even the deceased ex-wife Tang Suzhen all have sophisticated ties.

7. Outside the wire

Harp is dispatched to teach Leo to learn the value of collateral by assisting him in on-field battle but the method he discovers is entirely unexpected.
6. Stowaway
From their space-based thriller drama on Netflix, Stowaway's directors make an unusual creative option. A group of astronauts is in a life-or-death situation and must radio earth for assistance, yet we never hear voices from mission control. This is probably done to generate suspense and focus attention on the astronauts, but it also adds a lot of fragments and odd pauses to the movie that serves as a metaphor for the film's central issue.
Stowaway struggles to gain velocity which is paradoxical for a story about a spaceship shooting into space on an irreversibly accelerated route.
Tony Collette, Anna Kendrick, Daniel day Kim and Shamier Anderson star as astronauts, scientists, and engineers on a two-year mission to mars. However, one of them isn't supposed to be on board and the ship wasn't built to accommodate an extra passenger, thus putting the crew on a path to destruction.
5. The midnight Sky
The midnight sky is a meditation excursion set in 2049 in which our world is a quickly deteriorating wasteland in space.
As a terrifying yet optimistic new frontier, the film alternates between the arctic and a sophisticated spaceship called the Aether following dying scientist Augustine Lofthouse as he attempts to advise everyone aboard the aether to forsake their return to earth after a cataclysmic catastrophe renders most of the earth inhospitable.
Despite its tropes, it's a fascinatingly disturbing thriller that hits a bit too close to home in the context of 2020.
The midnight sky is an excellent example of a film that sells itself short by attempting to be severe, profound, and dramatic. Based on all available evidence, it's more of a mystery or at the very least more entertaining.
4. The Mitchells’ versus the machines
The Mitchell’s versus the machines is an animated action comedy about an ordinary family who is thrust into the most fantastic family adventure yet defending the world from the robot apocalypse.

1. Army of the dead
After a terrible government error leaves the abandoned walled city of Las Vegas infested with zombies, millionaire casino magnate Bly Tanaka realizes he has left something in sin city- 200 million dollars to be exact. His mounds of riches are secure for the time being behind his impregnable casino vault. Nevertheless, the US president intends to destroy the city in less than 96 hours.
Tanaka is now prepared to pay 50 million dollars to Scott Ward, a decorated former mercenary, and his hand-picked crew to recoup the amount before the bomb destroys the city.
It's without a doubt one of Snyder’s best flicks it's also one of the best movies of the year. So far, his directing player is evident throughout the picture and is really fantastic. By far the best part of the movie is Dave Bautista. This is perhaps the most robust performance demonstrating that he can act and play more emotionally charged characters.
