The Titan

Right now you can watch The Titan in Australia on Netflix, and in the US on Netflix — and it goes further with its ideas than most genre entertainment bothers to. A tight runtime that never overstays its welcome. 1,337 people have weighed in on TMDB, and the verdict leans heavily positive. Sam Worthington anchors it with a performance that grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Available now on Netflix — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

There is a reason The Titan keeps coming up in conversation. The Titan treats its concept seriously enough to follow it all the way through. On a bleak future Earth, a soldier endures a radical genetic transformation to save humanity. But his wife fears he's becoming more creature than man. Sam Worthington and Taylor Schilling lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2018. The Titan resists the temptation to explain everything, trusting the audience to sit with ambiguity. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

For late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge, The Titan fits the bill. If you have run out of similar titles to watch, this is a strong next pick. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Sam Worthington grounds the bigger ideas in something human. Once you are in, you will want to talk about it.
