Chris Pratt has become a sci-fi staple, but just how many futuristic films has he starred in? The answer might shock you—21, to be exact. From galaxy-saving heroes to dinosaur trainers, Pratt’s sci-fi resume is as diverse as it is extensive. 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. Buckle up, because this list is about to get weirdly fascinating.
TBD – Mercy (2026)
We’re cautiously optimistic about Pratt’s latest venture, Mercy, where he has 90 minutes to prove his innocence to an AI he created. The premise is inventive, and the trailers look promising. But with a January release date and minimal buzz, it’s a wait-and-see situation. Will it soar or sink? Only time will tell.
20. Passengers (2016)
On paper, Passengers had it all: Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lawrence, and a big sci-fi budget. But here’s the part most people miss: the core premise—Pratt’s character waking Lawrence’s from cryosleep out of loneliness—is deeply problematic. It’s a moral dilemma the film barely addresses, making it hard to enjoy despite its star power.
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, and the movie itself didn’t do him any favors. A missed opportunity, to say the least.
18. Thor: Love and Thunder (2022)
While Thor: Love and Thunder isn’t a bad film, Pratt’s inclusion as Star-Lord felt more like a contractual obligation than a meaningful addition. His role is minimal, making it a forgettable entry in his sci-fi catalog.
17. Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
The finale of Pratt’s Jurassic World trilogy is, frankly, a mess. But at least he’s front and center alongside some legendary co-stars. It’s a train wreck you can’t look away from.
16. The Electric State (2025)
The Electric State is bad—but in a bizarrely watchable way. It’s the kind of film that’s so over-the-top, it’s almost enjoyable. A perfect example of a Netflix movie that’s bad but entertaining.
15. The Tomorrow War (2021)
The Tomorrow War had a killer premise: soldiers from the present fighting to save the future. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite live up to its potential. Still, it’s a decent watch, thanks to its ambitious concept.
14. The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023)
Pratt’s casting as Mario was… divisive. While the film was a mega-hit, even its biggest fans admit he wasn’t the ideal choice. That said, he gives it his all, and the movie is undeniably fun.
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 vibes. Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard have great chemistry, making it a solid, if not groundbreaking, entry.
12. Wanted (2008)
Did you remember Pratt was in Wanted? Probably not. While the film is a blast, thanks to Angelina Jolie and James McAvoy, Pratt’s role is forgettable. It’s a fun movie, but not a standout for him.
11. Jennifer’s Body (2009)
Jennifer’s Body is a cult classic, but Pratt’s role is far from memorable. It’s a great film, but it doesn’t showcase his talents in any significant way.
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 heartwarming Pixar adventure. While it’s not top-tier Pixar, it’s emotional and uses Pratt’s charm effectively. A solid addition to his filmography.
8. The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019)
The sequel to The Lego Movie is fun and inventive, but it doesn’t quite match the original’s magic. Pratt’s voice work as Emmet is still great, but it’s overshadowed by its predecessor.
7. Jurassic World (2015)
Jurassic World gets a lot of flak, but it’s a decent, thrilling addition to the franchise. Pratt’s role as a raptor trainer is a highlight, and the film delivers on the promise of a fully operational dinosaur park.
6. Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Pratt’s Star-Lord appears in Endgame, but his role is limited to the climactic battle. It’s a monumental film, but his contribution is relatively small.
5. Avengers: Infinity War (2018)
In Infinity War, Pratt’s Star-Lord plays a pivotal role. His dynamic with Thor, the loss of Gamora, and his iconic dusting scene make this a standout performance in a groundbreaking film.
4. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is delightful, with Pratt’s Star-Lord facing off against his dad, 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)
Vol. 3 is a better Guardians movie than a “Chris Pratt” movie, but his arc as Star-Lord is fantastic. The film’s emotional depth and character development make it a standout.
2. The Lego Movie (2014)
Pratt’s voice work as Emmet in The Lego Movie is nothing short of brilliant. The film is smart, funny, and surprisingly heartfelt, making it one of his best animated performances.
1. Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)
And the number one spot goes to the film that made Chris Pratt a sci-fi icon: Guardians of the Galaxy. His portrayal of Star-Lord is lovable, hilarious, and action-packed. It’s not just a great Marvel movie—it’s a career-defining role.
