New Sci-Fi Movies and Shows To Watch This Week at Home or in Theaters, Including ‘Altered’

From restored cult animation to dinosaur peril and gene-tweaked dystopias, this week delivers a mix of theatrical oddities, streaming premieres, and a major animated series milestone. Below you’ll find plot essentials, key cast and creators, plus exactly when—and where—to catch each title during the week of November 18, 2025.

‘Angel’s Egg’ (1985)

Mamoru Oshii’s experimental, post-apocalyptic anime returns in an all-new 4K restoration supervised by Oshii, with newly rebuilt audio in 5.1 and Dolby Atmos; it opens in select U.S. cinemas on Wednesday, November 19, 2025. The film follows a nameless girl guarding a mysterious egg in a desolate city and a boy who may—or may not—understand what’s inside, with character designs and art by Yoshitaka Amano. Running 71 minutes, it’s largely wordless and steeped in biblical and allegorical imagery that has influenced generations of sci-fi and fantasy creators. GKIDS is handling the restoration and theatrical presentation.

The holiday spoof returns to theaters in a limited re-release on Friday, November 21, 2025.
