I know The Creator wasn't perfect but it certainly deserved better than it got. Spider-Man: into the spider-verse was came the winner but I still am not convinced that that was the best science fiction movie of 2023
"The Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy Movie of 2023" article refers to Barbie as the second best science fiction movie of 2023 ...

My vote is for They Cloned Tyrone. That movie was hilariously awesome. Or I hear Godzilla minus one is pretty good.

I absolutely love that Barbie, a movie which, at first glance, would seem to live as far as possible from Fantasy or Science Fiction land, turns out to actually be a science fiction movie.
...but it ain't because they go to space, as the article reasons.
Barbie is a science fiction movie because it's speculative. What if you were actually a doll living in a world dreamt up by a kid? What if, one day, you woke up and realised there was a bigger world outside?
That's why Barbie is a sci-fi movie, not because they go to space.
I'm not even sure I expected better from you, ign, you were always a bunch of jocks disguised as nerds

That summary does read a lot like a Philip K. Dick story.

You'll never guess what I grew up reading

Yeah, I see Barbie as a sort of Urban Glitz Fantasy.
