Chris Pratt has become a sci-fi staple, but just how many futuristic films has he starred in? The answer might shock you: 21. Yes, you read that right—21! From galaxy-saving heroes to dinosaur trainers, Pratt’s sci-fi resume is as vast as it is varied. But here’s where it gets controversial: not all of these films are created equal. Some are blockbuster hits, while others… well, let’s just say they’re best left forgotten. As we dive into this ranking, we’ll explore not just the quality of the films, but also Pratt’s impact on them—and whether you even remember he was in them at all. And this is the part most people miss: even in the lesser-known roles, Pratt’s presence often leaves a lasting impression, for better or worse.
Upcoming – Mercy (2026)
We’re cautiously optimistic about Pratt’s latest venture, Mercy. The premise is intriguing: a man has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to an AI program he created. The trailers look promising, but the January release date and lack of buzz have us on the fence. Will it be a sci-fi gem or a forgettable flop? Only time will tell.
20. Passengers (2016)
On paper, Passengers had all the makings of a sci-fi masterpiece: Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence, and a big budget. But the film’s central premise—a man selfishly waking a woman from cryosleep to avoid loneliness—leaves a sour taste. It’s a bold narrative choice, but one that feels glossed over rather than explored. Is it a love story or a moral dilemma? The audience is divided.
19. The Garfield Movie (2024)
Pratt’s voiceover journey takes a nosedive with The Garfield Movie. After stellar performances in higher-ranked films, his casting here felt uninspired. The movie itself didn’t help matters, leaving us wondering if this was a step too far.
18. Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
While Thor: Love and Thunder isn’t a bad film, Pratt’s inclusion feels more like a contractual obligation than a meaningful addition. His role is minimal, and the film doesn’t suffer—or benefit—from his presence.
17. Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
The final installment of Pratt’s Jurassic World trilogy is, frankly, a mess. But at least he’s front and center, sharing the screen with legendary actors. It’s a train wreck, but one you can’t look away from.
16. The Electric State (2025)
The Electric State is a Netflix film that’s bad in the most watchable way. It’s big, bold, and visually stunning—a perfect example of style over substance. Is it a guilty pleasure or just plain guilty? You decide.
15. The Tomorrow War (2021)
The Tomorrow War has a killer premise: soldiers from the present sent to the future to save humanity. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite live up to its potential. Still, it’s a decent addition to Pratt’s sci-fi catalog.
14. The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
Pratt’s casting as Mario was met with mixed reactions, and even fans of the film admit he wasn’t the perfect choice. Yet, he gives it his all, and the movie became a mega-hit. Was he the right Mario? Let’s just say the jury’s still out.
13. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
The middle child of the Jurassic World trilogy, Fallen Kingdom is a mix of dinosaur action and haunted house thrills. Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard have great chemistry, making it a solid entry in the series.
12. Wanted (2008)
Did you remember Pratt was in Wanted? Most people don’t. While the film is a blast, thanks to Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy, Pratt’s role is forgettable. Is it a Chris Pratt movie? Not really.
11. Jennifer’s Body (2009)
Jennifer’s Body is a cult classic that was ahead of its time, but Pratt’s role is far from memorable. It’s a great film, but not one that showcases his talents.
10. Her (2013)
Spike Jonze’s Her is a masterpiece, but Pratt’s supporting role is easily overlooked. It’s a fantastic movie, but not one that highlights his contribution.
9. Onward (2020)
Onward pairs Pratt with Tom Holland in a Pixar film that’s emotional and enjoyable. While it’s not top-tier Pixar, Pratt’s performance is excellent, making it a standout in his animated work.
8. The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019)
The sequel to The Lego Movie is fun and inventive, but it doesn’t quite reach the heights of the original. Pratt’s voice work as Emmet is still great, but the film suffers in comparison.
7. Jurassic World (2015)
Jurassic World gets a lot of flak, but it’s a decent, scary addition to the franchise. Pratt’s role as a raptor trainer is a highlight, and the film delivers on the promise of the original series.
6. Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Pratt’s Star-Lord appears briefly in Endgame, but his role is limited. While the film is epic, his contribution is minimal compared to other entries.
5. Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
In Infinity War, Pratt’s Star-Lord plays a crucial role. His interactions with Thor are hilarious, and his emotional arc is heartbreaking. It’s a standout performance in a standout film.
4. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is delightful, with Pratt’s Star-Lord meeting his dad, played by Kurt Russell. While it’s not as memorable as the other Guardians films, it’s still a blast.
3. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is a better Guardians movie than a Chris Pratt movie. Pratt’s arc is fantastic, but the film’s strength lies in its ensemble cast and emotional depth.
2. The Lego Movie (2014)
The Lego Movie is a smart, fun, and surprising animated film. Pratt’s role as Emmet is one of his best, making it a standout in his voiceover career.
1. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
Ultimately, Guardians of the Galaxy is the film that made Chris Pratt a sci-fi star. His portrayal of Star-Lord is lovable and iconic, and the movie itself is arguably the best in the Marvel Studios catalog. Is it his best sci-fi film? Absolutely.
Thought-provoking question: With such a diverse sci-fi portfolio, which Chris Pratt role do you think best defines his career? Is it the lovable Star-Lord, the rugged Owen Grady, or perhaps a lesser-known character? Let us know in the comments!
