synth-ruiner the fictional science in it is that a species of massive carnivorous sandworm evolved over millions of years in Nevada 😁

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

District 9 (2009)

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.

I wanted to love this as well. I always thought if he (his human version) wanted to talk to her, he was already living in the neighborhood...why pull the long con job on that warrior girl?
Let me temper that statement by confessing my own ignorance: I came into the movie about 20 minutes late and didn't get everything.

The Thirteenth Floor (1999)

I, Robot (2004)

RobertTVarga I stuck with the premise and costumes and fought thru the pain🙂
(yes, torturous in a couple spots)

brent YOU ARE the unsung hero.

Solarmass

brent Are you talking about Avatar? (my quote was about Tenet) 😀

brent

Solarmass yes it was. I was unclear there. 🙁

Solarmass

What about anime?

Serial Experiments Lain
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Planetes
Cowboy Bebop
Ergo Proxy

Solarmass yeaaahhh, definitely not an Evangelion fan.....

We could start an entire thread on anime series. Currently watching JoJo's Bizzare Adventure, just finished the current season of Fire Force among others.

Serial Experiments Lain
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Planetes

I've not finished Ghost in the shell jet and looking forward for the others two, that's a good list you got there sir.

Solarmass

Brucehankins yeaaahhh, definitely not an Evangelion fan.....

I am also not (really) a big Evangelion fan, I just love the giant robots fightings!

Sure, why not 😀

BTW wrong thread for the desktop screens 😛

nolan I've not finished Ghost in the shell

which one? 🙂

RobertTVarga

I would love to see a second part release of Avatar this year...

D9 engaged me at least. Rough in spots. I liked I am Legend but struggled thru this just like you did for District Nine. Smith and the sets were outstanding but the director and writer were both awful. Like breaking even.

Solarmass

Solarmass the giant robots fightings!

speaking of giant robots...

Pacific Rim (2013)

Solarmass

brent I am Legend

Completely forgettable movie, another example is Oblivion (2013). I don't remember even one scene...

RobertTVarga

Solarmass Oblivion is the right title for it. The movie went there, straight away!

Solarmass

RobertTVarga sad but true

Some good TV Shows that I haven't been mentioned in this thread I think:

njakes

brent I kind of lump District 9 and Elysium together. Both amazing movies.

nolan

njakes District 9 and Elysium

I enjoyed both 😄

brent

nolan @njakes
Didn't see Elysium, will look it up. But I did pop in at IMDB I and I see their similarities, and in fact can see the Elysium scenario someday!--very much an allegory like District Nine (...post-apocalyptic is definitely my favorite genre of sci-fi--probably because it has one foot on this terra.).
