Still have no idea why the robot screen showing a crying smiley face made me tear up. Guess I'm autistic or something.

Iseeyouseemeseeyou posted:Is it actually? I remember getting hyped for it, but I never saw it. Yes, it was done by the guy who made Love (William Eubank), which focuses on a guy stranded alone on a space station, for which the entire set was built in his parent's backyard. For The Signal they gave him a budget of 3 million and Lawrence Fishburne, and he did a great job. If you like Moon you should like The Signal as it has the same "what the hell is happening" Twilight Zone vibe then by the end everything makes sense. The Signal suffered from some bad promotion as it wasn't promoted very heavily and the trailer they did make promoted the movie as some kind of horror film, which it isn't.

RAGE HOLE posted:Under The Skin is very good and very creepy. Like Species except actually disturbing. Under The Skin also has a Scarlett Johansson nude scene but it's unfortunately very disappointing. Fewd posted:In other news, everyone who like actual good scifi movies instead of hemorrhoids like Snowpiercer, should watch The Machine. It is a good movie. It's also out on Netflix right now.

like i remember pages upon pages of goons waxing poetic about the scene where the loving burmese mountain dog jumps up and licks patrick bateman's face and about how poignant and subtle it was there were entire reading threads in whatever book barn was at the time for The Giver.

yea but what's worse enjoying movies when you're a kid because you understand how to have fun with movies and not give a poo poo if the science parts of your fiction don't make a lot of sense or growing up and then being all smug about how stupid you were for having fun while you sit around all day online and criticize everything for not being STEM as gently caress because I'd rather have the first thing since having fun is better than not having fun and I don't need to prove my self worth to myself by pointing out flaws in movies about a guy who does karate with guns

I'm just gonna come here and say the problem with sci fi right now is because people think they want loving sci fi and not sci fantasy, but they actually want sci fantasy, which can and will eschew with realism or science when it's cooler. This is a better model, and why I when people bitch about realism in scifi movies.

Like, Dune is considered science fiction somehow, but show me where the science is. It's still the greatest sci fi book ever written though? Weird huh, how fantasy elements are often better than the way things really are.

sunshine is the best scifi movie of the 21st century, moon is alright, gravity and interstellar both moronic dogshit. scifi doesn't have to be rigourously scientifically accurate and none of it really ever is, your poo poo's gotta be about ideas and interesting characters or it's going to suck. emTme3 fucked around with this message at 04:16 on Nov 25, 2014 |

I wasn't saying that Equilibrium was bad, just that Snowpiercer seemed to also exist in a not quite fully thought out post-apocolypic dystopian future in which one grizzled white man is going to bring salvation to the masses. Equilibrium had better action, better story, and better "plot." It wasn't bad, it wasn't great but was leagues about Shitpiercer.

I love Shawn Bean. Anyway, moon was pretty good. On par with Gattica. While Prometheus has problems I feel like we would be far less critical of it wee it produced in the late 80's. Take that how you will but but in that very specific and limited sense it does fit in with the franchises other movies (excepting Alien, which stands out). Sunshine was good, the twist worked for me, it wasn't Midnight Shama Lama Ding Dong style.

Does Children of Men count as sci-fi? At the very least it's near-future dystopian. And it loving owned. Definitely one of the best flicks of the 2000s. [edit] efb on the 3rd page

There are people who absolutely need their sci fi grounded in rational ideas and the fictional technology existing as somewhat believable future-tech, but frankly I'd rather just Star-Wars or Dune it up.
