Tenet by Nolan so cool
I watched original (best) Terminator on TV last night. I must say for an 80's sci-fi suspense film, it has held up remarkably well. Thrilling ride---would recommend to anyone to see again.
I have a few favorites, actually.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan is on the list, as is The Black Hole, 2010, the original Alien and Terminator movies, and of course the Star Wars original trilogy.
...and then everything turned into boring CGI nonsense and proper sci-fi was replaced with janky, repetitive super hero craze.
MattX Alien Quadrilogy (with Sigourney). Prometeus and Covenant were quite a disappointment with all that overly complicated genetic manipulation/biological warfare/philosophical nonsense.
I guess you are talking about the Alien Duology. Alien and Aliens are indeed two excellent movies. Just like Terminator, there are only two of them.
MattX Intriguing list. The Thing is still a great great movie that no one ever mentions. Even Escape from new York is still watchable. For a Bruce Willis sci-fi movie I think 12 Monkeys far superior over 5th Element.
Personally, for me, likely in the tiny minority, I found Avatar to be a horrible watch, painful, so bad I just didn't care especially the acting and feel-good plotline. Simply an awful experience that I'll never do again. I'll tell you how I really feel about it another time.
kyrios I liked Alien 3 and Resurrection. They were far more entertaining than most of crap of today. I got all (5 + Prometheus) Aliens movies on DVD except Alien vs Predator ones, because I find them kind of ridiculous.
brent I can agree that Avatar wasn't that good on the plot side, but visually it was mindblowing. Now we are used to bombastic CGI, but back in 2009 in the cinema it blown my mind how beautiful the created world was and I've seen it in 3D then. Later when I watched a 3D movie I wasn't impressed. The colors, the depth were mindblowing. Even now on a huge 4K TV it looks great. And if you have oportunity to watch it on a UHD + 3D capable gear it's still impressive. And the plot... It's just Pocahontas in space. Nothing super-inteligent, but if you know other flicks by Cameron you know that his movies are more into visual experience than anything else.
I just noticed this article this morning, and thought perhaps there are more Dune fans here. It's apparently a new take on an oldie but a goodie.
I usually like David Lynch's movies, so I did enjoy Dune although I saw it a long time ago and I would certainly be disappointed if I had to watch it again.
I also enjoyed the video games Dune and Dune 2.
I can't wait seeing the new Dune. No doubt it will be a great movie, the trailers are promising. Denis Villeneuve didn't disappointed me with Blade Runner 2049 and Hans Zimmer soundtracks are always great.
Perhaps one day I'll read the books...
