This thread needs more love for Heavy Metal! Also, DS9 seasons 4-7 is great, even (especially) if you hate Star Trek.

community ham boil posted:Maybe you would like Doomsday Book. The first segment is not so great but the other two are just fine. The one with the Buddha robot is pretty to look at and the one with the end of the world is funny. The Prestige was good. Added in list. Might check Doomsday Book.

Hmm also District 9 and Gravity. these movies are at least as good as time travelers wife but are probably in fact better.

Stormfang1502 posted:This thread needs more love for Heavy Metal! Heavy Metal sucks and is only remembered fondly because it was adolescent fantasy you could see animated boobs and sex in back when all of those things were pretty rare in video media, and unlike say "Fritz the Cat" you didn't need to be a furry to enjoy it and afterwards you could sit in your own spunk and watch ok animation of  fantasy settings set to metal music. Fallows posted:How is event horizon flawed? No. 6 posted:By falling into too many horror tropes that scenes became predictable. P. Much. It doesn't do anything super-wrong but I just watched it last night and was disappointed at how little it manages to elevate its awesome premise. Aside from the scene where Fishburne discovers the video of the prior crew in Hell and immediately goes "we're leaving and we're shooting missiles at the Event Horizon after we do. gently caress THIS SHIP!" it felt like it was wearing an exosuit of cliches it never quite escaped from-- which is a shame because in terms of set-up it manages to have a fairly diverse crew, interesting well-drawn characters, and both a minority and a woman survive which is super loving rare in horror. Trixie Hardcore posted:It was the far future and they were advanced humanoid robots. I know, that's just what critics say about the movie and proof that they don't know what the gently caress they're talking about. quote:I found MIB3 to be surprisingly good and we shall never speak of MIB2.

mind the walrus posted:MIB3 is entertaining but good it is not. I was really moved by the stuff with J's dad & cried like a baby at the end when Tommy Lee Jones was all stoic about the sad knowledge. e: now that I think about it I grade any sci-fi that makes me cry a little higher than normal due to the cathartic release.

District 9 definitely goes on the list. Gravity stays off for loving up basic physics too much.

Yes but it completely rewrites the entire history of the much better first movie in a lovely "WE ARE ALL CONNECTED" continuity storm that makes everything feel insular and septic.

Does Mad Max even qualify as Sci-fi because the first 2 are good and Beyond Thunderdome is loving retarded as poo poo but still awesome.

No. 6 posted:Gravity stays off for loving up basic physics too much. I think you're missing the fundamental element of "fi" in sci-fi. It's a movie not a documentary not sure you knew this but Gravity is a poo poo film in general apart from the "LOL SPECIAL EFFECTS!"

THS posted:which movies on your list, do you believe, stick to the laws of physics 2001 came pretty drat close. I do get your point, but it seemed that proper physics were pretty integral to the story, which they kept loving up. This kept me from enjoying the film more.

Gravity isn't sci fi. Just because it takes place in space doesn't make it sci fi. It's a disaster film. If Gravity is sci fi, then so is The Towering Inferno.
