May the Fourth Be With You might have left you with a Star Wars hangover, or maybe that's just all the margaritas from Cinco de Mayo. But if you are a diehard movie fan, then chances are you just can't wait to get your next sci-fi fix. After all, the December 18 theater release of J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Force Awakens seems lightyears away.

Even though movies like Ex Machina, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Tomorrowland will give you your sci-fi/post-apocalyptic fix this month in theaters, there are plenty of science fiction films available to stream now across the various platforms for those looking for something a little more specific.

Get ready to see the stars because these are best sci-fi movies to stream on Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Instant Video.
