Edge of Tomorrow owned, loved the black humor and how it kept on coming up with different combinations as the main character tries find the winning path.

Or he just gives up for one scenario, tries to go to pub and still ends up getting horribly killed.

Moon's good if you can avoid thinking about the dumb premise.

it's one of those movies that fell apart near the end similar to Sunshine but still worth watching.

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

Michael fassbender is also always a sexy beast on the silver screen

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.

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.

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 :rolleyes: 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.

things like interstellar travel, cloning and shields are pretty sci fi

One of the reasons why I sincerely love Under the Skin is because it is a movie that lures you in with the promise of alien sex and Scarlett Johansson naked and then you realize too late you are trapped in a theater watching a high concept, frequently deeply unpleasant arthouse film.



Species was a more uplifting death by sexy time film premise

And also the massive scale of the Universe.

It's really more space opera...

And I really wish someone would take Jodrowsky's poo poo and make it an HBO series or some poo poo.

Obviously tame it down just a little bit. He apparently wanted to take some really strange artistic licenses...but he's the right amount of strange to make that happen.

These probably Bad Opinions, but I liked John Carter and Surrogates a lot!
From what I've gathered, most people don't care for it, but I quite enjoyed its (admittedly entirely unsubtle) sci-fi exploration of pregnancy, parenthood, and humanity's messed-up sexuality.

It owned because it was so effectively unsettleing similar to the older Cronenberg films.
