We’ve all considered taking the red pill every once in a while (or, I guess, the blue pill depending on how you look at it) and escaping to an alternate reality, and movies provide plenty of fodder for that possibility. Mind-expanding movies like The Matrix and Inception really make viewers put their thinking caps on, and they remain a popular idea among filmmakers — with at least a few new prominent films popping up in the genre each year. Many of the films take the sci-fi route, an obvious connection, but some try to push concepts into different planes, extending our understanding of what alternate reality can be.
What are the best alternate reality movies that you can stream right now? We’re providing a starting point for the discussion, as well as locations where the movies can be streamed … in this reality, of course. Are alternate realities not your thing?
