    I get the sense that you would like some adult themes, but not too slow?

    Top of my mind (and in no specific order) would be:

    - Dark City

    - The Thirteenth Floor

    - City of the Lost Children

    - Tron (original and maybe new one)

    - Interstellar

    - Inception

    - A Clockwork Orange

    - Her (very relevant to our times)

    - Dune (2021 version)

    - Brazil

    - The Martian

    - Children of Men

    - Edge of Tomorrow (most like Marvelverse on this list but still very good)

    - Moon

    - Twelve Monkeys

    - Upgrade

    - The Fifth Element

    - Contact

    - Okja

    - District 9

    - Predestination (very relevant to our times)

    - Serenity (but might need some prep from the tv show before watching)

    - World on a Wire

    - The Abyss

    - Minority Report (very relevant in our times)

    - The Fly

    - Videodrome

    - Equilibrium

    - Strange Days

    - The Andromeda Strain (relevant after Covid)

    - eXistenZ (trippy but I loved it when it came out and was only around your sons age)

    - In Time (interesting class dynamics on display)

    - Enemy Mine

    - Franklyn (some interesting takes on mental illness)

    - The Arrival
