What are you some underrated or lesser known science fiction movies that you recommend?

I've never met anyone that has seen this movie despite it being relatively recent and with some popular actors, but I'd highly recommend Prospect (2018). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7946422/

It's not a very big budget movie, but it has great aesthetics I think and an engaging story. I'm looking for some new science fiction movies to watch either old or new.

Not lesser known, but maybe under-appreciated. I rewatched “Oblivion” the other evening and enjoyed it. I perused reviews afterward and they all panned the movie for being too long and plodding at two hours, which makes sense I guess. But, honestly, after the subsequent decade of three- and four-hour blockbuster schlock, “Oblivion” now feels like a taut little thriller.

Oblivion ain't the best sci fi movie, but it does hold up. Sound track and aesthetics were beautiful.
