Looking for new movies that are sci-fi, fantasy or a mixture of both, preferably with a utopian tone

I'm don't of the loop on where to get movie and TV show updates so I don't know what's out there

As well as J-Bone's recommendations:

  • Kalki 2898 AD - like an Indian Star Wars that is set in a dystopian future but mixes in mythology. It's long and I was initially unimpressed but it keeps ramping up to wild levels and completely won me round. It's India's most expensive film and only part 1.
  • A Quiet Place: Day One - I thought the first two were great and was unsure if a prequel would work as well, but it does.
  • Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire - a return to New York should have delivered a film on oar with the original but it didn't hit the spot (perhaps because of the rather poor quality baddie). However, it is worth a watch.
  • Poor Things - very odd, fantastical film. Could have done being trimmed down but like nothing else you'll see in the cinema.
  • Godzilla: Minus One - just watched the Minus Color version in the cinema on Godzilla Day and it still stands on, the B&W suiting the more melodramatic plot.
  • Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes - if you love the series you'll likely enjoy the prequel. If you aren't a fan you can skip it.
  • The Creator - I was increasingly unconvinced by the plot as the film progressed but it doesn't half look good.
  • Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny - after Crystal Skull anything would be an improvement but this exceeded my, admittedly, low expectations and was a fun romp. Fourth, perhaps third, best Indy film depending on how well you think Temple of Doom has aged.
  • Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse - it would be difficult to beat the first film but I think this one might do.
  • Guardians of the Galaxy 3 - wasn't as big a fan of 2 than one but the series finished really strong.
  • Shazam! Fury of the Gods - didn't get a great reception but I enjoyed it for what it was, dumb fun.

Kalki 2898 AD sounds fun. Have not heard of it. Will have to check it out. Cheers!

Yeah, if you are looking for a big science fantasy film that largely flew under the radar in the West then that's the one. A few people here have seen it and they all spoke favourably about it.
