Solarmass I still remember some dope scenes from it

How about the scene where Carter explained where her sex organs are located?

    4 The original trilogy of star wars, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Matrix, Back to the future, Therminator2, I Am Legend (If is considered sci-fi), Inception (if t's considered sci-fi), The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and many others

    They are not among my favorites (a bit boring too) but they have impressed me more than others because they are very particular: Avalon ( , Brazil

    a year later

    40 years later someone makes a modern trailer for their film school project that this masterpiece deserved.
    drum roll please:

    12 days later

    Wasted 45 awful minutes on this putrid turd of a remake and would warn all sci-fl forum users to avoid this like the plague, it's been showing up on TV. Unaware, unscary, uninteresting and trying way too hard. It didn't hold me. Jame's Caan's ancient 70's movie had 10X the gravity of this one.

    Rarely does a remake of a song or a movie come out better. It does happen, but not by a longshot here.

    You could do better for a Saturday afternoon flick.
    This has been a sci-fi PSA.

    The Thirteenth Floor (1999) / World on a Wire (1973) (Way better if you speak German or can deal with subtitles) - both based off a book called Simulacron-3.

    Anime:
    Paprika (2006) - Inception but in anime
    Megazone 23 (1989) 1&2

    qk4-li3 To me "proper" Sci-Fi is earth- and human- centric. Space fantasies and UFOs and E.T.s are different thing.

    disagree completely. I think anything not worldly, and clearly not (but sometimes can be) horror is sci-fi. How could Alien not be sci-fi? But Tremors can be ('human-centric')?

    your source is even title dis 'definitions' with a plural for a reason🙂.

    Brazil is dystopian future movie based real loosely on Orweil's masterpiece) and we both agree it belongs squarely in Sci-Fi as most of the brilliant mind of Gilliam's does. We could parse semantics all day, but I respect your commitment to the definition, and your unique take. I don't believe there can be true right or wrong anyway.
    If it's a day that ends with a Y I am wrong about something!

        ender I'm going to give this a try because I love the time-travel sub-genre. Some is unplausible crap (butterfy effect) and some really is plausible.

        Speaking of the brilliant mind of T. Gilliam, I thought his 12 Monkey's was the greatest time travel movie ever made because 1) it was sensible and 2) a large degree of human error was built into it as it didn't pretend to be precise in any way. Sometimes you aim for 1917 and end up in the 40's.
        --I look forward to seeing Time Lapse on your rec.

            brent Cool comment.
            Not familiar with Tremors. But Alien as sci-fi film is a bit of a stretch, ha! smileyface, how do I manage to add smileyface here? 🇦 🇧 🇨 🇩 🇪 🇫 🇬

                qk4-li3 cool movie and definition.
                where would you classify all the spacecraft/ufo movies anyway. Fantasy or something similar?

                    brent "Space opera" (as like soap opera): Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica etc. "spacecraft" films. Could be also something like"Science- Fantasy". Includes some magical thinking: "May the force be with you" or whatnot, not very science based. Something like that.

                        qk4-li3 To me, SciFi is speculative fiction, and may contain any other genre.

                          elfprince I haven't watched the new Dune II yet

                          I haven't even watched the new Dune I yet, so I second that motion. Are these available only on YouTube?

                          Ahh ... I looked. Apparently just the trailers. So, theaters only at this point?
