Sci-Fi Movies Thread
brent I forgot Dark City was the amnesia guy and Keifer was in it too. Also excellent.
and Jennifer Connelly. I think you need to rewatch it
I think I was thinking of Sin City maybe? Which is also weird and good.
Yep, but it is not sci-fi
Prequel with ATJ
. I'm in. Goerge Miller directing I wonder?
Yep! And the next movie:
Thank you for the info, Solarmass. Yes, I remember Jennifer Connelly!
I will leave this thread tonight with a sci-fi (I think) movie that also left a haunting and gunky impression on my noggin.
brent I really liked it but I also understand it's a meme in itself to like it. The honest trailer really does sum it up well.
Brucehankins Solarmass
Liked it but unsettling. I like that a movie can have that effect on me. I love that a movie can, actually. M.Night never did anything on this scale. But I always wondered if DD was a con job in some way.
Can't explain.
CC'ed you both to say I just plugged in headphones and will watch this review.
Honest trailer in a hip way but seemed to dismiss the whole movie at every level. The idea of time travel and parallel universes (Donnie Darko's premise) is glossed over in this review. The unconventional way both those concepts were expressed in that movie was its selling point for me at the time, but like I said, I never had to re-discover it again.
Same with Butterfly Effect in that regard.

brent Butterfly Effect
The Butterfly Effect (2004) with Ashton Kutcher was pretty cool.
I just plugged in headphones and will watch this review.
There is also Mad Max: Fury Road Honest Trailer! (One of my favorite Honest Trailer)
The Matrix has a slightly "cringe" reputation as all the things it originated have been done to death now, but I rewatched it recently and it's still an incredible film.
Dark Star is a favourite of mine- very weird, funny and unique.
Tremors is tremendous fun!
brent loved 70's relic A Boy and His Dog but can't find anymore
I have a copy of this
synth-ruiner Tremors is tremendous fun!
Comedy | Horror, not sci-fi I guess
Oh, there is a 2018 Tremors TV reboot by Vincenzo Natali https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5226220/
He also directed Cube (1997)
synth-ruiner A Boy and His Dog blew my mind. I will find it
Solarmass synth-ruiner Tremors is insanely good fun and I can see that every year---but if zombie movies and pandemic movies (all set present day) can be sci-fi, certainly Tremors can. Semantics though. Great movie.
I almost forgot!!!
TWO WORDS:
District Nine
Avatar, Tenet, Interstellar (Nolan is genius, sry)
brent District Nine
NO! I just couldn't have patience for that cr...low budget thing anymore. I had to suffer it once, was enough.
Nobody mentioned "Interstellar" by now. Love this movie!
It is too early to think about what else, but I will come back

the fictional science in it is that a species of massive carnivorous sandworm evolved over millions of years in Nevada genres can be very broad and wishy-washy though. horror-comedy fits too, thriller fits too I think.
DasJott Nobody mentioned "Interstellar" by now. Love this movie!
I keep meaning to watch this, I've heard great things!

okay, approved!
I keep meaning to watch this, I've heard great things!
I will definitely rewatch Interstellar, it has some epic scenes and great OST. The ending is rather weak imo.
brent District Nine
interesting movie!
George Avatar
I like Avatar, but it's not in my very top list. One of the best scenes:
George Tenet
Interesting concept, but rather boring movie without exciting scenes. My favorite scene is the opening of the movie.
But I only watched it once.
