15 Best Slow-Burn Sci-Fi Movies Ever Made

While fast-paced action can be incredibly enjoyable, there’s a lot to be said for a slow-burn sci-fi movie that takes its time to reveal its true nature. By allowing the space for atmosphere and complexity to grow and breathe, sci-fi stories can become all the more thought-provoking and philosophically rich when they don’t underestimate the audience and allow for events to occur naturally without the need for endless explosions, chases, or blockbuster movie spectacles. A slower-paced sci-fi film allows for tension to build and the characters’ motivations to reveal themselves.

Some of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made ran at a slower pace and rewarded viewers’ patience with meaningful revelations. By focusing on characters over pure, mindless entertainment or giving room for striking visuals and a sense of discovery within the movie’s world, sci-fi stories can go from being merely good to truly great. Some of the most epic sci-fi movies ever released were slow-burn triumphs exploring deep existential themes like searching for meaning in an unknowable universe or the probing humanity at the heart of technological advancement.

The Man Who Fell to Earth R Sci-FiDrama

The Man Who Fell to Earth is a sci-fi movie where David Bowie stars as an alien who comes to find a way to save his dying planet, but uses his advanced knowledge to create a global business empire and eventually  loses sight of his original mission. A 2022 TV series starring Chiwetel Ejiofor and Bill Nighy continued the story of the 1976 film.

Director Nicolas Roeg Release Date March 18, 1976 Studio(s) Columbia Pictures Distributor(s) Columbia Pictures Writers Paul Mayersberg , Walter Tevis Cast David Bowie , Rip Torn , Candy Clark , Buck Henry , Bernie Casey Runtime 139 Minutes Budget $1.5 million Main Genre Sci-Fi Expand See at Amazon

The Man Who Fell to Earth starred glam rock icon David Bowie in the role he was born to play as the humanoid alien Thomas Jerome Newton coming to Earth to seek water for his drought-ridden planet. However, much like Bowie himself during the 1970s, Newton found himself at the mercy of human vices as the allure of alcohol, drugs, and sex corrupted him. As a slow-moving sci-fi with more to do with the complexities of human desire than thrilling action sequences, the surreal imagery of this cult classic made it stand out as among Bowie’s best movies.

Steven Spielberg stepped in to finish his friend and contemporary Stanley Kubrick’s long-planned sci-fi movie A.I. Artificial Intelligence. As a sci-fi reimagining of Pinocchio, A.I. was based on the 1969 short story “Supertoys Last All Summer Long” by Brian Aldiss and told the story of a childlike android who longs for the affection and adoration of his deceased loving mother. With themes around grief, technology, and machines’ capacity for emotion, A.I. has only become more relevant in the decades since it was released.

7.3/10 Under the Skin R Sci-FiThrillerDramaHorror

Under the Skin is a sci-fi thriller directed by Jonathan Glazer and starring Scarlett Johansson. Johansson plays “The Female,” an alien from another world that hunts men in Scotland. Despite receiving high praise upon release, Under the Skin was a box office bomb, only making a little over half of its budget.

Those who like their sci-fi movies fast-paced with traditional narratives should look elsewhere, as Under the Skin was among the most unconventional sci-fi movies of the 21st century. Starring Scarlett Johansson as a shapeshifting alien who lures unsuspecting men to their demise in the Scottish countryside, Under the Skin was a deeply atmospheric film made all the more effective through Mica Levi’s ethereal and otherworldly score. Widely regarded as a modern sci-fi masterpiece, Under the Skin might not hit with all viewers, but for those willing to give themselves over to its strange power, it’s deeply alluring.

Although John Carpenter’s The Thing did not get the love it deserved upon release, it’s widely regarded as a masterpiece of horror and sci-fi today. Featuring a crew of scientists at an Alaskan base that’s been overrun by a menacing shapeshifting alien, The Thing forced audiences to reckon with the horror of paranoia and isolation that comes from being unable to trust anyone or anything. As the crew turned on one another with suspicion about who could secretly be the titular thing, The Thing was a rare movie in which nobody made it out alive.

17 8.4/10 Interstellar PG-13 Sci-FiDramaAdventure

From Christopher Nolan, Interstellar imagines a future where the Earth is plagued by a life-threatening famine, and a small team of astronauts is sent out to find a new prospective home among the stars. Despite putting the mission first, Coop (Matthew McConaughey) races against time to return home to his family even as they work to save mankind back on Earth.

Christopher Nolan is one of those rare directors who excels just as much in slow-building, thoughtful narratives as he does in action-packed showcases of pure spectacle. One example of his more thoughtful side was in the modern sci-fi triumph that was Interstellar. As a deeply complex story that addressed time, space, and alternative dimensions, while Interstellar began with an astronaut’s attempt to find a new home for mankind, it soon turned into a fascinating and paradoxical study of human relationships, family, and the passage of time.

Robert Zemeckis’ sci-fi classic Contact told the story of the scientist Dr. Eleanor Arroway (Jodie Foster), who found evidence of extraterrestrial life and was chosen as the person to make first contact with aliens. With fascinating scientific concepts and theological inquiry, Contact looked behind the mere idea of aliens’ existence and addressed the complexities of mankind and intelligent species making the decision to cross paths with them. By probing deeper than the average sci-fi action film, Contact managed to recapture the same wonder for the unknowable nature of the universe as iconic movies like Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

After director David Lynch’s notorious failure to successfully adapt Frank Herbert’s Dune during the 1980s, it started to feel like this was truly an unfilmable story. However, Denis Villeneuve, hot of the success of Arrival and Blade Runner 2049, finally pulled off this gigantic feat by splitting the novel into two films and allowing the story room to breathe with a slower pace that highlighted the story’s complexities and themes. With Timothée Chalamet as the heroic savior Paul Atreides, Dune and its sequel, Dune: Part Two, became one of the most satisfying sci-fi releases in living memory.

Russian director Andrei Tarkovsky was the king of slow-burn sci-fi movies whose focus on the psychological themes and the existential nature of space made him the ideal filmmaker to adapt Stanisław Lem’s novel Solaris. Centering on a spaceship crew falling into a deep state of emotional crisis, Solaris addressed themes of existential dread, the vast, unknowable nature of the universe, and thought-provoking ideas of a parallel Earth. While viewers looking for fast-paced chase sequences and grand explosions will be left disappointed, Solaris was a movie with a lot to say about the nature of human existence.

Sam Rockwell deserved an Academy Award nomination for his tour-de-force performance in Moon, a compelling sci-fi debut from Duncan Jones that explored a man’s personal crisis on a three-year solitary space mission. As a thoughtful and moving film, Moon used its sci-fi concept to explore the very nature of self, as loneliness and a lack of human connection had led to deep torment amid the enclosed space of a strange spaceship. With themes of doubling, identity, and the human psyche, Moon was as much about the personal needs of individuals as it was about the lead characters’ search for alternative fuel on the Moon.

Science fiction has always reckoned with the true nature of artificial intelligence and robots’ capacity for true consciousness. These ideas were powerfully explored in Alex Garland’s extraordinary directional debut, Ex Machina, a movie that started slow as a programmer and an eccentric robotics expert meet in an isolated home, only to build in intensity as Alicia Vikander was introduced as the lifelike robot Ava. As a visually stunning and highly thought-provoking sci-fi release, Ex Machina was a masterclass in acting, directing, and writing.

As one of the most iconic sci-fi movies ever, Planet of the Apes featured perhaps cinema’s best twist ending.

As the launching point for one of the most successful franchises of all time, Planet of the Apes was packed with fascinating ideas about civilization, society, and religion. While viewers will best remember the famous image of the Statue of Liberty or iconic quotes like “Get your stinkin’ paws off me, you damn dirty ape,” the entire film was a slow-burn triumph.

While Denis Villeneuve showcased his talents in Hollywood with thrillers like Prisoners or the action movie hit Sicario, it was with the release of Arrival that he earned his place as a major voice in the world of sci-fi. However, rather than lean into action movie tropes, Arrival was a more thoughtful examination of language and the complex potential for communication with extraterrestrial life. Featuring an astounding story of impressive performances, Arrival was nominated for eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Adapted Screenplay, and won Best Sound Editing.

Starring Harrison Ford as a burnt-out cop reluctantly hunting down a group of fugitive replicants, Blade Runner blended film noir stylings with futuristic aesthetics to create a look and feel entirely its own. Adding to this, the incredible 1980s synth score by Vangelis and Blade Runner became an engaging, slow-burn sci with a powerfully distinctive identity.

8.2/10 2001: A Space Odyssey GAdventureMysterySci-Fi

2001: A Space Odyssey is one of Stanley Kubrick’s most well-known films. A science-fiction epic, the film tells the story of the journey of Discovery One, a spacecraft operated by a group of scientists, astronauts, and a sentient computer, on a mission to Jupiter to investigate a mysterious monolith. Considered one of the greatest films ever made, Kubrick combines sparse dialogue with the heavy use of scoring and ambiguous imagery to create something that eschews conventional filmmaking.

When it comes to incredible, slow-burn sci-fi movies, one release stands above the rest, and that was Stanley Kubrick’s magnum opus 2001: A Space Odyssey. From its powerful incorporation of classical music to the anxious characterization of the sentient supercomputer HAL 9000, 2001: A Space Odyssey was a movie that felt deeply grand in scope while also honing in on the complexities of individual experience. A true masterpiece of the sci-fi genre, the influence of 2001: A Space Odyssey has bled into every slow-burn sci-fi movie that followed it.
