Amazon Prime’s movie bank is ever-evolving. The OTT platform has a comprehensive range of science fiction, starting from the old classics of the 1970s and 1980s to the latest sci-fi movies of 2021.

Some people enjoy sci-fi, some don’t. One on the side, some of us like the idea of entering into an entirely fictitious world, do time travel and see these fantastic mammoth-sized creatures. But, on the other hand, some of us want to enjoy realistic entertainment.

In fact, it is very typical for us to switch between these two sides based on the time of the day and our mood levels. So we are correct, aren’t we?

In the history of Indian cinema, we have hardly had any good sci-fi movies domestically produced and directed besides Koi Mil Gaya, Robot, and Krish. Ask any 90s kid, and they know who ‘Jaadu’ is.

Jokes apart below is a list of carefully handpicked top 10 (ten) sci-fi movies that you can watch on Amazon Prime Video from India.

Let us dive deep into it real quick!
