Well there are still 85 years to make a good scifi movie so I dunno about the 21st century. But it was a good movie.

if we're talking about good scifi and not best scifi now...

Paycheck was pretty good and the only movie with Ben Affleck that I don't hate.
Code 46 was good, it's got that gattaca vibe, but with Tim Robbins and incest.
Metropia was good, I think the whole thing was made with adobe aftereffects or something, it has a 1984 vibe with a really weird animation style.
Most people disagree, but I thought Pandorum was great. It's mindless popcorn scifi/horror, somewhere between alien and a zombie flick, plus a lot of the movie is about Dennis Quaid trying to start a reactor.

i cant say it is a bad movie

its a wonderful tale of justice conquering greed

freedom overthrowing the established order

the downtrodden prevailing over the corrupt establishment

and other stupid poo poo that doesn't actually happen irl

its worth watching if you have 3 hours

My postillion has been struck by lightning.
yeah moon was good. a couple of friends dragged me along to see it when it came out even though i didn't know anything about it and i'm glad they did

the other good sf movie i've seen in a cinema in the past few years was gravity but that was good in a very different way. not much of a plot but what there was of it didn't get in the way of the spectacle. watch it if you like space movies and/or disaster movies. if you know someone with a home theatre projector go around to their place to see it because it gains a lot from being seen on a huge screen

edge of tomorrow was okay i guess, i felt like it started out strong but was kinda pulling plot twists out of its rear end toward the end

don't watch lucy. it is a bad movie. i thought it would at least be good at being a dumb action movie because luc besson but it didn't even manage that, by about halfway through the protagonist is established as effectively invincible and omnipotent and all the tension drains right out of the film

If you like Sam Rockwell you should also watch Choke, The Way Way Back, Seven Psychopaths, Better Living Through Chemistry and of course Galaxy Quest.

If Galaxy Quest wasn't from 1999 it'd be a contender for best sci fi in this thread.

Duncan Jones what made Moon is David Bowie's son, so he could make a good sci fi movie because he is close to man from space.

I don't know what you mean by semi-autistic, it's entirely about the emotions and reactions of the two main characters. I guess if you can't empathize with the two dudes you wouldn't be able to be engaged by it.

That dude has some really weird insecurities about engineering and "spergs" he posts about all over the forums -- ironic when you read his lengthy, spergy posts. Projecting maybe?

then it ended with a bunch of rednecks complaining on the radio

He doesn't really murder anyone. He just doesn't tell them that they're doomed to die after three years.

Also, Snowpiercer. It's entertaining to watch if you like to j/o to fantasies of killing the 1%.

As far as Tom Cruise sci-fi, Moon During The Day Oblivion was far more entertaining than Groundhog Day In Space Edge of Tomorrow.

If you want overlooked sci-fi, Lockout is a fun popcorn movie and Guy Pearce is great in it.

Equilibrium was pretty goddamned stupid too, but it's one of those movies that are so stupid the stupid meter overflows and the movie becomes good instead.

In other news, everyone who like actual good scifi movies instead of hemorrhoids like Snowpiercer, should watch The Machine. It is a good movie.

:hfive:

Equilibrum was one of my favorite movies in the early 2000s. whereas a lot of movies have a "heh, our movie IS stupid we know it! LOOK LOL ITS SO STUPID! *wink wink*" which actually detracts and just makes it flat out lovely and waste of everyone's time. but Equilbrium is completely serious in it's stupidness which actually makes it fun to watch

gently caress aeon flux though
