Unless you're an astronaut, or you have a surplus of hundreds of thousands of dollars, you may not be fleeing Earth's atmosphere anytime soon.
But that doesn't mean you can't at least make fictitious visits. For those who tremble at the sight of the starry night sky, we've rounded up some of the best space movies on Netflix — from timeless classics like Total Memories to the colorful new world of "Over the Moon." If you'd like to stay in space, check out our roundup to learn about, as well as the best alien movies on streaming services.

Doom gives you almost exactly what you expected: a popcorn fight ?? A storm of pills and hormones, full of guns, blood, and conversations like, "Let's see if we can find the body of that arm." "In short, it's very silly, very messy fun, and it's a fitting tribute to its loosely based video game series. In the plot, Dwayne " Johnson led a team of Marines through a portal into a research facility on Mars that appeared to have been inundated with something nasty. Come on, nervous and jump, and stay in the awesome POV section at the end, which is a direct homage to the film's first-person shooter roots. * - Sam Heyssen, Uk Deputy Editor
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > 2. Jupiter rises</h1>
Written and directed by the Wachowskis, Jupiter Rises is a lavish space opera in which a humble house cleaner (Mila Kunis) discovers herself to be the heir to the intergalactic dynasty, so the fate of the universe is in her hands.
What follows is an unconstrained fantasy that combines soaring action and drowsy romance with (for example) Channing Tatum as a werewolf warrior on a space roller skate or a swarm of bees that can identify members of the royal family. Check the door to rational thinking, if you want to be more weird after this Wachowski, and the series is also in service.

Orbiter 9 is one of those movies that can't be said without revealing the game. Hatem Khraiche's slow-burning sci-fi/drama tells the story of lone astronaut Helena (Clara Lago) who falls in love with an engineer in a space capsule on a trip to a distant colony. Anything more plot-detailed than that would destroy things, but suffice it to say that the film is both a futuristic mystery and a philosophical meditation on human morality and the future. Just don't expect any busy laser shootouts because it's not that kind of space movie.

?? E is both the Moon Goddess and an excellent singer in the films of Glenn Keane and John Carls.
The space doesn't have to be scary. If you prefer a colorful, brightly costumed adventure to a high-octane danger, then Glenn Keane and John Carls' animated musicals may be the right boat to board. On the moon, the young Fei Fei (Kaisie Ang Wu) struggles with grief and changes in family situation. How did she escape? To prove a name called ?? According to the ancient legend of the goddess E, she built herself a rocket to travel to the moon.
Hints to many cute characters, some impressive imaginative storylines, and some songs that will stay in your mind long after the end credits scroll.

Futurist space movies often present humans with polarized versions of planetary existence: they either live in undulating metropolises full of the latest high-flying, polishing technology, or they struggle to survive on distant, hard planets with basic technology and few friendly neighbors. Zeke Earl and Chris Caldwell's compelling low-budget small-actor film Prospect showcases the latter, a bleak, brutal sci-fi survival thriller with all the elements of the West — haggling at gun muzzle, searching for legendary treasures, escaping up close. But going to sunset, it's not simple and fun.
Scavenger Damon (Jay Duplace) and his resourceful and strong teenage daughter West (Sophie Thatcher) find themselves on a quest to find gems on an overgrown moon that is rarely cruel to the adulterer. Since toxic spores fill the air, oxygen is scarce — and so is anything that is safe. There, they met Mandalorian star Pedro Pascal, who plays Gunman Ezra, though in violent situations he is unlikely to become an ally. Will the film predict how humans will eventually survive in space? If so, it will be a tough time

It turns out that you can find many unexpected things in space.
In the not-too-distant future of Space Scavenger in 2092, Earth has become a polluted wasteland, while the richest and most powerful people live in utopian, corporate-owned orbital space stations. The film tells the story of a group of space sweepers who make a living by cleaning up space junk and selling it. One day, they mingle in the garbage heap and find a little girl named Dorothy (Park Yelin), who may be a robot with a powerful bomb, but their difficult but peaceful life is shattered. But their planned plan to redeem Dorothy to the terrorists who were looking for her went wrong because she spent more time on the ship. It's not the most original story in sci-fi history, but the combination of gorgeous visuals, a strong cast and an elaborate plot makes this two-hour journey — known as South Korea's first space blockbuster — easy.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="38" > blowing yourself up to Mars for a few years is nerve-wracking enough, but now imagine that when you launch from Earth's atmosphere, you consume too much oxygen and find an extra passenger on your three-person ship. It's the nightmare scene from Joe Pena's Stowaway, a tense drama that's half thriller and half moral dilemma. Anna Kendrick, Daniel Day King, Shamir Anderson and Tony Collette make up a small (but strong) cast, and the film conflates jaw-dropping cinematography with a lot of introspection. </h1>

Forget about the 2012 remake; we're talking about the original here. Loosely inspired by Philip K。 Dick's short story "We Can Remember It Wholesale for You" Paul Ferhoven's Total Memories revolves around an ordinary construction worker, Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger), who purchases a memory implant for an agent on a mission to Mars, and in the process discovers that he is actually an agent on a mission to Mars.
or... Is it? Total Memories had a great time playing with identity and reality issues, while also offering all the exaggerated action, sly humor, and one of Schwarzenegger's most memorable performances

Who says it's easy to tear space apart on a jet-propelled planet?
Humans migrating to another part of the galaxy isn't a new metaphor in space movies, but they rarely carry the entire planet with them. Based on Liu Cixin's novel and directed by Frant Gwo, The Wandering Earth follows the human mission of migrating the Earth to a new (and less urgent) region of space. In a blockbuster on a huge budget, this one has pretty much everything you want — lots of sets, a lot of tension, and the kind of photography you immediately want to hang on the wall. The cast is also great, with more than a few poignant moments that will catch you off guard

When you have an anti-gravity house, who needs a spaceship?
Almost everyone has heard of Jumanji, a 1995 Robin Williams film about board games that are too interactive to be good in itself. But few people have heard of a sequel. Directed by Jon Favro and adapted from the children's tales of Jumanji writer Chris van Aalsburg, Zatura is a 2005 film about two children — you guessed it — stumbling upon a dusty old board game with some rather intense gameplay elements. This time, instead of going to the jungle, we went to space, and the kids' entire house was transported to the middle of a spinning robot and a galaxy full of aliens. For a 2005 film, the effect was great, and the younger actors — including Josh Hutcherson before the Hunger Games and Kristen Stewart before Twilight — did a great job of acting. Dax Shepard also got an interesting cameo as an astronaut, a group of lizard-like aliens who were very funny.
