Blade Runner (Final Cut version is superior) probably my top.
2001 was excellent as well. Close second.
I like The Fountain as well, though it's not necessarily straight up sci-fi. Has sci-fi elements though, as well as historical fiction.
Ghost in the Shell is way up there for me too.

A lot of people seem to like Moon. I thought it was okay, I just never got into it that much. Might try watching it again. I would have preferred if it was more psychological, similar to Solaris, but instead they pulled the lame clone twist.

>>6010295
My nigga! New version was so-so by comparison. They never got their asses to Mars...

>>6010365
Pacific Rim was outstanding. Elysium was okay, but you're probably better off just watching District 9. Practically the same movie anyways.

>>6010419
Prometheus was mediocre, I agree. It had some cool themes, but they just weren't actualized very well (i.e. You have found your creator, and he hates you).
>it's a much better movie by the same guy.

>sci-fi movies are usually lacking imo
Probably because your favorites are Titan A.E. and Treasure Planet

Polite sage though. Not science, but appreciate a good sci-fi thread regardless.

I wouldn't really consider it sci-fi film. The content was 100% science, but the style and tone of the film was more modern. Slightly depressive, stream of conscious style, something reminiscent of recent films like Upstream Color (also by Shane Carruth) and Detachment

Also, forgot to mention:
The Matrix (first movie) was solid. Keanu can't act but he was at least bearable in this movie. Plus the world building, the setting, they were all great.

Sunshine was alright. Had its problems though, especially how it turned into a slasher at the end, which was stupid. Worth a watch.

The Fifth Element is great, especially if you're looking for a good sci-fi movie that doesn't take itself all too seriously. Plus, dat Milla Jovovich.

Dredd was great. Some might not consider it sci-fi but it certainly had elements. Simple story that they don't fuck up, ass kicking main character with all the personality of a charging rhino. Fun to watch and plenty gory.

It was completely sci-fi. It's cyber-punk and Dredd was fucking awesome.

Just because it paints humanity in a darker light where some technology (weapons and architecture) advanced while everything else goes to shit (space travel) doesn't mean it's invalid as science fiction.

Not every bit of science fiction needs to be some utopian spacey future with people completely up their own ass alla "Star Trek". The Dredd future is far more likely.

Well, people need not to be so fucking sensitive over the definition of "scifi". It's a big tent.

Dredd is a science fiction, dystopian cyber punk epic. Who gives a shit if it's a comic book? It's awesome.

Moon isn't really about the clone thing. It's not even really about the corporation screwing Sam over. It's about two things: incredible, soul-crushing loneliness, and discovering your memories and perception of the world aren't real. The most powerful scene in the movie for me is where the first Sam finally meets his clone. He's just discovered that he's basically a replaceable machine, his daughter/wife probably aren't even his (though he's still in denial at this point), and that he has a clone that he never gave permission for--and he's so lonely and starved for human contact that his first reaction is to ask if he can shake the guy's hand.

We were discussing good scifi, that's why no one brought up "another earth". It sucked asshole, scifi or not.

Also, you don't need a bunch of futurist techno garbage to be scifi, anon. That's really bringing the genre down to shit.

I think of scifi this way. Science has opened up our minds to more possibilities. In antiquity, the universe was understood as a mystical place with magic and gods. The universe was also "small".

Science has given us a larger understanding of our universe. A magic mud Golem is rethought of as a humanoid robot with AI where we can explain its existence with more than "magic". A chariot with winged horses that can reach the heavens becomes a chemical rocket and shuttle. The universe is a gigantic place with many stars with planets instead of a giant dome with lamps and the world is a giant magic turtle.

Science fiction takes a story and applies an element of "realism" we can relate to today while giving us the same amount of magic we need to tell incredible stories.

Take a mundane story but put it on another planet in a deep space colony and you have scifi.

My favourites are:
> Alien movies (the first three at least, the first one is legendary, my favourite).
> Blade Runner
> 2001
> Enemy Mine (fucking boss, pic related)

Decent sci-fi that hasn't been yet mentioned in the thread:
> Pandorum (2009) with Quaid and Foster.
> Dark City (1998) with Sewell, Hurt and Sutherland.

I also liked Prometheus, so sue me.

And a question: I haven't seen none of the following:
> Oblivion
> Pacific Rim
> Elysium
> the second Star Trek
> Dredd

But I've heard very bad opinions regarding every single one of them. Is any of them worth watching?

Dredd. The old 90's shit that had nothing to do with Dredd had me cringing, then it was an awesome cyberpunk movie and I was quite satisfied.

>Elysium
I don't know what to do with that one. I have absolutely no interest in seeing it ever again if that tells you anything. Very nice special effects but the premise and plot were a shit sandwich. The story was Prometheus bad but not nearly as confusing and pointless.

Idk where you hear these opinions but they're all shit...
Oblivion was decent. At least worth a watch.
Pacific Rim was fantastic.
Elysium was good. District 9 was better though.
Star Trek Into Darkness was pretty much a repeat of the first movie. Plot got progressively silly but it's worth a watch.
Dredd was brilliant.

Funnily enough I think they actually reviewed all of those movies except Elysium on Half In The Bag... If you want an actual well thought out review of sci-fi movies then they're a pretty safe bet.

Which of these is not like the others?:

Released 2013

Don't get me wrong though. Wrath of Khan was by far superior to Into Darkness.

He's doing his "interpreting things" again. People who filter what they read according to their own prejudices are very hard to convince that they are doing this.

I lucked out. I only caught the slasher ending the first time I saw it on TV, so when I watched the entire movie for the first time I knew exactly what was coming and now Sunshine is one of my favorite movies.

I can't think of another film with the same themes as Sunshine.

Contact was okay as a movie but it's rather lackluster compared to the book.
They left out most of the decryption of the message stuff and replaced it with a 15s thing about Hitler, they also left out the whole "God's message in Pi thing", "superior civilisations making universes" and replaced it with a silly romance

Also, the parts where she meets the alien civilisation were obviously much better in the book because cgi is a bad substitute for imagination.

I haven't read the book and though I don't like anything that explicitly or implicitly defends religious faith, I am a humanist and I have to respect the subjectivity of the human condition. I therefore appreciate Ellie coming to terms with the fact that a logical person can be utterly convinced of something due to subjective experience and yet lack objective evidence to convince others and that therefore one must treat people with seemingly absurd beliefs with respect (assuming said beliefs are based on subjective experience and not outright illogical).

Threw the book at the wall at this point.

There's a limit to the idiocy I'm willing to put up with in sci-fi. Pi would be the same goddamn thing in every possible universe, because it's not derived from physical measurement. Nothing could "write a message" in pi, regardless of whether it could create universes or created this one, any more than it could decide that 1+1 would equal something other than 2.

So a shot of a Coca Cola billboard amidst a sea of neon in Blade Runner is equivalent to the main character of I, Robot vocally advertizing for Converse? Or that same billboard is equal to the outright whorish commercials as seen in a movie like "Jack and Jill"?
Do I wish there was advertising in movies? No. But there are certain contexts in which advertisements are appropriate, and there are those where it isn't.

The story was an unholy amalgamation of other sci-fi films.
This post is going to spoil the shit out of this movie, if you haven't seen it and are planning on it, please don't read past this line
"Mothership up in space is ruining our day, we'd better go up there pretending to be one of its ships and nuke the shit out of it to destroy its influence on Earth" AKA INDEPENDENCE DAY.
"I'm really a clone designed to perform a specific function for a tour of duty, after which I am replaced by another clone" AKA MOON.
In order for Tom Cruise to finally wake up to the reality he's living in he needs an older black mentor figure: AKA Lawrence Morgan "Morpheus" Fishburn Freeman from the Matrix.

And those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head, I'm sure there are many more.
Overall the special effects and acting were pretty good, but as soon as the plot started to unfold I lost my interest.

I agree that the adaptation to film was a little lacking. For instance, they left out a lot of awesome Sci-Fi moments, such as space ships made entirely of gold, ancient abandoned space cities and all other kinds of cool stuff. It's probably one of the coolest parts of the book, but they completely left it out. I mean, they could have easily cut the space walking scene where all you hear is breathing for 10 minutes straight, if reel time was an issue.

Oh Sci-Fi anime now?

Ghost in the Shell - didn't really like the rehashed movies. I believe one of the movies was original
Akira - there is a couple of epic scenes...doesn't make up for the dialogue dumps
NGE - one of the best anime ever, each series, each rehashing I really enjoyed. End of Evangelion was the best.
Planetes - One of those "real" sci-fi shows. the show is about space junk, space terrorism, "drowning", smoking in space, and the first manned mission to jupiter. Overall a great show. I wish I still enjoyed anime hijinks and could stand watching it again
Casshern Sins - ??? really gritty. still haven't seen all the way through
Code Geass - Probably my favorite show ever. I've seen it at least three times. Evil genius takes control of the world with mechas. has been said to be Death Note with Mechs
Gundam Wing - I really enjoyed it when I got down to just watching it. It definitely takes itself wayyyy too seriously. Five mechs (good guys) are built better than all the other mechs (bad guys). that sounds...really bad. The bad guys get better mechs, lots of side switching, etc.
Eureka 7 - a nicer version of NGE. Nice drama, i didn't like the ending, colors were pretty, music was awesome (ost is my car)
Gantz - Do you like having your main characters stay your main characters? well tough luck. Gantz cycles through cast as fast as GRR Martin, maybe faster. Manga is better, but show is definitely good. Good theme song too.
FLCL - It's about becoming a man and rejecting everything and realizing doing that is becoming mainstream or something.
Now and Then Here and There - Holy shit I completely forgot about this show. Definitely an older anime. I'm not really sure why I liked it as much as I did, but I'm thinking it might have been like a more grown up version of a Miyazaki film. I really can't remember and I will go rewatch this soon.

I thought it was laughable and I noticed it was mentioned a lot here.
Having said that, people make the mistake of grouping all new movies together and completely dismissing them.
Elysium was mentioned a lot, too; I watched at the cinema, really enjoyed it, but it had such weak plot armour.
Also, pic related, Chronicle is one of my favourite movies.

It does have a story line though. In fact, it starts branching into 2 when it starts following Charlie around. It's a simple story, but it doesn't mean "it doesn't have a storyline at all".
