Seven Sci-Fi Films of 2025 That Skip the Sermon

Every year the genre gets asked to carry a message, and every year some films politely decline. This list gathers the 2025 science fiction titles our scorers found least weighed down by sermonizing, ranked by how little woke content they detected. The numbers are not a verdict on quality, and the spreads tell you why: a few of these drew wildly different reads from different scorers, so treat each figure as a snapshot of disagreement rather than a settled fact.
