The 5 Best Fantasy Movies on Netflix to watch right now

Love & Monsters

When an asteroid headed for Earth is destroyed, the debris infects the planet's cold-blooded animals with a unique mutation that turns them into giant monsters. Sounds fun, right? Well, not really, as these monsters enjoy hunting humans. In the weird wasteland left behind by the incident, Joel (Dylan O’Brien) journeys to find other colonies in search of love and hope.

Love & Monsters is just great fun. It's not afraid to lean into the cheesiness, and it’s in this that it truly thrives as a light-hearted fantasy flick. 

Dylan O'Brien is an endearing lead who's easy to root for, the monsters are inventive and rather impressively crafted on-screen, and it's always a treat to find a movie that's comfortably under two hours long, too.

The Old Guard

Based on the comic book of the same name, The Old Guard is a fresh take on the superhero subgenre, which sees a band of warriors with regenerative healing abilities working as mercenaries. While they take on jobs to help people, unfortunately, their latest mission will set them on a path to deception, experimentation, and great conflict.

The Old Guard is another hit from one of the most exciting action directors working today, Gina Prince-Bythewood. Once again, the set pieces in this film are out of this world, with jaw-dropping hand-to-hand combat that would make John Wick proud. 

Charlize Theron is always of great value, too, and she puts her heart and soul into making Andy an exceptionally cool, captivating lead character. It isn't a perfect film by any means, but it is a wildly entertaining one to add to your Netflix watchlist.

Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio

We all know the story of Pinocchio, the wooden toy who longed to be a real boy, but Guillermo del Toro's take embraces the darker elements of the story (obviously). Set against the backdrop of fascist Italy, drawing on themes of depression and grief, and utilizing mind-boggling stop-motion animation techniques, this version of Pinocchio is far from the Disney classic.

But, that's a good thing. Del Toro has never been afraid to share his passion for the power of animation, and this is the perfect showcase of just how diverse and potent the medium can be. 

Not only does GDT's Pinocchio look fantastic, but it's also incredibly mature and impactful, while retaining some of the more fun and fantastical elements of the original story. It's hard to top one of the best Disney movies of all time. However, this Netflix fantasy manages to exceed our expectations with each watch-through.

Godzilla Minus One

This fresh take on the Godzilla story (aka one of the best monster movies ever made) sends us to war-torn Japan as the country reels from the fallout of World War 2, but the people of Tokyo are about to face a new level of destruction in the form of the titular kaiju. 

It is up to pilot Kōichi Shikishima to lead the charge against the monster, while he grapples with survivor's guilt and a difficult romantic arrangement.

Godzilla Minus One somehow manages to feel huge in scale, while managing to capture the most intricate, nuanced, and meaningful aspects of the human experience within a frenetic disaster movie. 

It looks phenomenal, especially the all-important design of the iconic monster; the musical score is off the Richter scale, and it's paced with precision to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout.

They Cloned Tyrone

One night, Fontaine (John Boyega) is shot dead in a drug-related gang conflict. The next day, he's seemingly back from the dead, with no memory of the previous night. 

Together with one of his customers, Slick, (Jamie Foxx), and Yo-Yo (Teyonah Parris), a sex worker-client of Slick’s, Fontaine begins to uncover a conspiracy that will change his life forever.

They Cloned Tyrone brings out the best of all three of its lead actors, with Foxx delivering one of his funniest performances to date, Boyega going back to Attack the Block vibes, and Parris proving she is far more interesting in quirky genre movies than she is as a superhero. 

This Netflix Original feels like a modern tale from The Twilight Zone. It's Lovecraftian, almost, but with far more humor. They Cloned Tyrone is one of the most creative pickings that Netflix has to offer at the moment, so it's a must-watch!
