Hulu's new sci-fi movies for February range from absolute flops to Oscar winners across four decades.

Here are the best sci-fi movies new on Hulu in February 2021.

6. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

The black sheep of the X-Men series, featuring Ryan Reynolds' first take on Deadpool, is considered one of the worst in the franchise, but it's worth watching for its so-bad-it's-good potential.

5. Sonic the Hedgehog (2020)

Released in theaters at the worst possible time, Sonic the Hedgehog was nonetheless met with a resounding "pretty good" from viewers. With a sequel in the works, it's time to catch up.

4. Mars Attacks! (1996)

Tim Burton's is alien invasion dark comedy was panned on release but has since gained a deserved cult following.

3. Dredd (2012)

Karl Urban frowns his way through this surprisingly great take on the supercop previously portrayed by Sylvester Stallone.

2. Star Trek series (1979–1998)

Star Trek I, II, III, V, VI, and Insurrection are coming to Hulu, representing some of the best (and worst) of the series.

1. The Shape of Water (2017)

Guillermo del Toro's gorgeous romantic sci-fi masterpiece is packed with incredible performances and music.
