7 Must-Watch Sci-Fi Movies on Peacock Right Now (July 2025)

An indirect sequel that shares continuity with The Endless, this film stars Anthony Mackie and Jamie Dornan as two paramedics in New Orleans who encounter a series of bizarre and gruesome accidents linked by a mysterious new drug, Synchronic, which blurs lines between reality and illusion. As Mackie’s character, Steve, begins to investigate the drug, he discovers it allows users to travel through time, posing dangerous and unexpected consequences.

Synchronic mixes horror with sci-fi while still feeling grounded and philosophical. The movie offers a refreshing narrative that stands out in the genre, appealing to audiences who enjoy cinema that challenges their perceptions and evokes deep reflections on temporal realities. The film also effectively uses its New Orleans setting to give the story context in American history.
