Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul is a mockumentary about Trinitie Childs (Regina Hall) and her husband, Lee-Curtis Childs (Sterling K. Brown), both of whom became extremely wealthy as the owners of a megachurch called Wander to Greater Paths. However, their church has fallen on hard times since Lee-Curtis was caught seducing young men despite his ardent anti-gay pronouncements.

The Childs use the documentary as a way to drive up publicity for the reopening of their megachurch. But most of their parishioners have moved on, and a rival megachurch, which is run by Shakura (Nicole Beharie) and Keon Sumpter (Conphidance), threatens to derail the Childs’ plans by opening their doors on the same day as the grand reopening of Wander to Greater Paths.

Focus Features

The title of Seeking a Friend at the End of the World is not a misnomer. An Armageddon-like plan to divert an asteroid away from Earth has failed, and humanity only has days before an extinction event that may wipe out all life on the planet. Dodge (The Office‘s Steve Carell) is a newly single man whose wife abandons him immediately after the end of the world announcement. Dodge is facing this alone until he notices that his neighbor, Penny (Pride & Prejudice‘s Keira Knightley), is in the same boat.

Dodge and Penny don’t have the same goals in their remaining days, but he does offer to help her get to England to visit her family if she’ll help him track down his high school sweetheart so he can experience love one last time.

Mystery Men (1999)

You can blame Mystery Men and Shrek for unleashing Smash Mouth’s All Star on the world. It’s also a precursor of the modern superhero movies and is based on the comics by Bob Burden. Unfortunately, Burden’s signature creation, The Flaming Carrot, sits out this movie. The good news is that the film has a bunch of lovable losers like Mr. Furious (Ben Stiller), The Bowler (Janeane Garofalo), The Shoveler (William H. Macy), Blue Raja (Hank Azaria), Spleen (Paul Reubens), and The Sphinx (Wes Studi).

The team is called into action when Champion City’s top hero, Captain Amazing (Greg Kinnear), gets his greatest foe, Casanova Frankenstein (Geoffrey Rush), sprung from prison. Predictably, Frankenstein captures Amazing and threatens to take over the city. Against this foe, the Mystery Men may not be able to put up much of a fight.

If Hulu was solely reliant on its sci-fi movies from 20th Century Studios, then there would be very few options beyond the Planet of the Apes, Predator, and Alien franchises. Fortunately, Hulu gets the best of all worlds by hosting most of the classic 20th Century Fox sci-fi flicks as well as a selection of films from other studios. And it's not a coincidence that all three of our picks for the sci-fi movies on Hulu that you need to watch in February come from Sony.

Two of these films are newly arrived in February, while the third has been around for a bit. Each of these movies is also an action movie with sci-fi elements. So while there may not be a lot of romance in these flicks, the action lover in your household should enjoy them a lot.

Dredd (2012)

Fans of The Raid: Redemption will recognize a lot in Dredd, the 2012 adaptation of one of the United Kingdom's most popular comic book icons. Judge Dredd (The Boys' Karl Urban) may look like a hero, but he's an authoritarian with a badge who offers little flexibility while serving as judge, jury, and executioner on the dangerous streets of Mega-City One in the future.
Dredd's temporary partner, Cassandra Anderson (Olivia Thirlby), will be by his side for the duration of her evaluation as a judge. Cassandra will get her test by fire when she and Dredd are locked in a sprawling apartment complex filled with criminals who are out to kill them.
