2067

2067 has built a real following in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Hoopla among viewers who want their sci-fi to think as hard as it looks. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. Its 5/10 TMDB score, built from 954 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Kodi Smit-McPhee sets the tone, and the world-building does the rest. There is no real reason to keep putting it off — it is right there on Netflix.

There is a reason 2067 keeps coming up in conversation. 2067 uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. A lowly utility worker is called to the future by a mysterious radio signal, he must leave his dying wife to embark on a journey that will force him to face his deepest fears in an attempt to change the fabric of reality and save humankind from its greatest environmental crisis yet. Kodi Smit-McPhee and Ryan Kwanten lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2020. The rules of 2067's world are consistent enough that the big swings never feel like cheating. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Sci-fi fans who want ideas alongside the spectacle will find 2067 genuinely rewarding. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single evening. Kodi Smit-McPhee anchors it with a performance that makes the more abstract moments feel personal. If you have been burned by ambitious sci-fi before, this is the exception.
