Hundreds of movies are released in theaters each year. While some big-budget films generate a lot of excitement and become box office successes, many others don’t receive much attention. This is particularly true for films in specific genres, which often go unnoticed and quickly disappear after their initial release. These overlooked films often find a second life – and a new audience – when they become available on streaming services. For one sci-fi film from 2025, its arrival on Hulu could finally give it the recognition it deserves.
The sci-fi horror film The Astronaut didn’t perform well in theaters last October, earning mixed reviews and only about $106,000 worldwide. However, it will be available on Hulu starting February 20th, giving it a new opportunity to reach viewers.
The Astronaut Gives Alien Sci-Fi Horror an Unexpected Twist
In the sci-fi thriller The Astronaut, NASA astronaut Sam Walker (played by Kate Mara) returns to Earth after a dangerous incident damages her space shuttle. Once back home, she begins experiencing unsettling events and suspects she brought an alien life form with her. The film features a talented cast including Laurence Fishburne, Gabriel Luna, and Ivana Milicevic, bringing together experienced actors in the science fiction genre.
What’s compelling about The Astronaut isn’t just the possible alien presence that follows Sam home, but also the hidden truths about her past and how they connect. It’s more than a simple alien invasion story; it’s a film that explores themes of identity. While the plot takes a somewhat expected turn, it’s an ambitious and engaging watch. The ending might raise more questions than it answers about how everything works, but the journey to get there is captivating. Plus, the film successfully blends sci-fi and horror, delivering some genuinely frightening moments, making it a good choice for fans of both genres.
What Else is New On Hulu in February?
Hulu is adding a lot of new sci-fi and horror content this February! While The Astronaut will be available later in the month on the 20th, you can already stream Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, which arrived on February 1st.
