Sci-Fi Movies Thread
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.
Inspired by Josh: Scif-fi TV--
twilight zone
star trek
stargate sg-1
personal favorite: 3rd rock from the sun
The Jetsons
Star Trek Voyager
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
X-Files

No love for Sliders? 
Brucehankins No love for Sliders?
Damn!! Memories of old times! It was stellar in its time.
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 it was always the premise that floored me: nuke the sun in hopes of jump-starting it. Wow.
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 
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
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

Solarmass Comedy | Horror, not sci-fi I guess
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.

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

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.

What about anime?
- Serial Experiments Lain
- Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
- Neon Genesis Evangelion
- Planetes
- Cowboy Bebop
- Ergo Proxy
- Edited
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.
