Netflix Minute is a weekly feature highlighting a title from Netflix's catalog of instant view films. If you want to spend a night snuggled up with a bag of popcorn and don't want to drive to the video store, this is for you.
Science fiction uniquely provides a lens on many different aspects of life, with space operas focusing in on the ambition and perseverance of humanity or post-apocalyptic stories focusing on our universal will to survive. Lately, movies brought about a revival of soft sci-fi, diving into the anthropology and psychology of various scenarios in titles like Moon or District 9. This sub-genre is likely the most accessible to a rising filmmaker, with reports of the former film costing a mere $5 million. 2010's Monsters is one such movie, with a simple premise and a shoestring budget.
