Science Fiction and Fantasy Comment and Reviews
Sci Fi films on Netflix can sometimes be a bit hit and miss. You never really know what calibre or budget of film you are going to get.

Io is a 2019 release on Netflix. It is a post-apocalyptic film directed by Jonathon Helpert and starring Margaret Qualley and Anthony Mackie and that is it.
