Why was prometheus so bad? Like I know what made it bad, but why the gently caress did anybody greenlight that thing. It's like watching a teenage slasher flick from the 90s level of bad as far as characters actions. I mean nomi rapace loving runs in a straight line away from a big rolling space ship. The first two guys just straight inexplicably wander off and get fucken owned. What the hell? I mean it's dumb poo poo that I expect characters in a cartoon to do. Like one of the characters being a furry wouldn't have been out of place, that's how bad it is.

Prometheus was a bad movie with enough production quality to be watchable. Just don't think too hard about... anything in the movie.

The new Planet of the Apes series has good parts, but they both spend too much time on boring human-ape relationships, and in the second one they could have replaced all the human characters with mannequins wheeled around on dollies by stagehands and it wouldn't have negatively effected the movie.

Monsters is good, but it drags in places because it was mostly the actors wandering around mexico ad-libing all the dialogue.

you know looking through a list i don't really see any sci-fi movies in the 2000s i like enough to go "yep, that's the best"

i mean i liked prometheus, moon, district 9, redline, etc. but there's nothing on the level of like the body snatchers or w/e

i guess i should probably get around to watching the fountain

Pitch Black is just a really solid movie whatever you think of the Riddick character or the other movies really (he's not even the main character in Pitch Black!)

pitch black is neat but its kinda sad when the video game based on the movie is deeper and better than the movie it was based on

Who? Clive Owen? He's done quite a bit of work since then and the first season of The Knick was pretty amazing.

If you like stupid B genre-mashup action movies you should watch Priest with Paul Bettany and Karl Urban it's a good example of that kind of movie

ehh it kind of does and probably technically is, but i wouldnt exactly count it as scifi, or at least it's not what immediately comes to mind when describing it :shrug:

also Minority Report was good at the time. e: and A Scanner Darkly.

similar to planet of the Apes, a CGI character was more interesting than any of the human actors

Primer is cool because the science in it is kind of plausible and it follows its own rules very rigidly but I still have basically no idea what the gently caress happened in the entire second half. You basically need to read the wikipedia or watch it 4 times to understand that nonsense.

I haven't heard of 90% of the movies suggested in this thread but I always love :spergin: about lovely physics in movies so I'll probably give them a watch sometime
