Solarmass Terminator

Yes, I forgot to mention the Terminator movies (except for the very latest), besides my Star Wars addiction. Good point!

JoshStrobl All those are great. Tron so under-rated and perhaps the best arcade game of all time.

Solarmass Forgot how incredible Dark City was, thanks for the jolt. Fury not my favorite Max, but I own it and watch it sometimes for sure.

Staudey

I also have to cast my vote for Sunshine. I'm not usually a huge Sci-Fi fan (and it's rather mild Sci-Fi anyway) but that film has left a lasting impression on me.

brent

Staudey I saw it years ago and so much of it did/does have that "lasting impression" on me.

Solarmass

brent Sunshine - is a must-watch!

Forgot how incredible Dark City was

Yes! It's a classic imo =)

Fury not my favorite Max, but I own it and watch it sometimes for sure.

I am not very familiar with the old ones. The next movie will be "Furiosa" with Anya Taylor-Joy, very interesting!

Solarmass the trailer was bitchin.' it was always the premise that floored me: nuke the sun in hopes of jump-starting it. Wow.
Dark City: remember Mickey Rourke the most.
Empress Furiosa is Charlize Theron. I'm surprised she isn't coming back.

Scientifically the idea is stupid, but the movie is awesome 🙂

Dark City: remember Mickey Rourke the most.

What!? He is not in the movie 😉

Empress Furiosa is Charlize Theron. I'm surprised she isn't coming back.

I think because it is a prequel about young Furiosa.
Anya Taylor-Joy was awesome in The Queen's Gambit 😍

Solarmass I forgot Dark City was the amnesia guy and Keifer was in it too. Also excellent. I think I was thinking of Sin City maybe? Which is also weird and good.
Prequel with ATJ🙂. I'm in. Goerge Miller directing I wonder? Or has Mad Max finally spun off?

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:

brent

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.

Solarmass

brent I watched Donnie Darko recently for the 1st time. Didn't like it 😕

brent

Solarmass I didn't get it all and it was heavy. I thought it was profound and difficult at the time and I'd go back and look it up and give another view someday. But I never did.

Solarmass

brent BTW there is a Donnie Darko Honest Trailer 😉

Brucehankins

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.
