Let's see if anyone can name a great sci-fi film to watch that I haven't seen. I want to watch some, but I've practically run out of things to watch...

You and me are in the same boat then. I'm always looking for new stuff to watch and SimHQ usually provides some good results.

Midnight Special?

Snowpiercer?

Children of Men?

Seen Midnight Special and Children of Men, but haven't seen Snowpiercer, but it's one I have been saving for when I'm absolutely out of everything.

What else?

Midnight Special was pretty good but kinda unravelled in the latter half. Children of Men was great.

I usually just google for stuff. 'Best sci-fi films you've never seen' usually does the trick.

Have you tried 'A Scanner Darkly'? Dark City?

Hopefully someone else will pop in with some recommendations.

I love Dark City. Scanner Darkly I turned off about halfway in. I just wasn't jiving with the drug use. Sad, too, because I love Phillip K. Dick adaptations.

Moon

The Expanse (TV series; admittedly "not a film")

Gravity (arguably "not science fiction")

Interstellar

2001

Hard to make recommendations if we don't know which ones you have seen, and which of them you would rate as a "great" film; I mean, I know some who think that DIsney's "The Black Hole" was a "great film" when I found it to be absolutely terrible... Does "STar Wars" count as "science fiction" or is it "fantasy in a space setting"? Are the Marvel Avenger films "science fiction", and would you rate them "great films"?

Seen Moon, Expanse, Gravity(I loved it despite the critics), Interstellar(plenty of gripes but loved it), 2001(one of the best), and The Black Hole was pretty awesome to me as a kid.

Comic book movies SUCK ASS. They are NOT science fiction. #%&*$# superhero #%&*$#.

Star Wars is scifi/fantasy.

The Andromeda Strain

Frau im Mond

The Noah’s Ark Principle

Primer

Seen Andromeda(of course!) and Primer.

Not seen Frau or Noah's...

This one?

Doesn't seem science fiction?

But this one?

Looks interesting. =)

Cargo https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0381940/


Oblivion was on tv here last night it was not too bad

LOL. No, this one:


https://m.imdb.com/title/tt0019901/?ref=m_nv_sr_1

Saw Cargo and Oblivion a couple years ago. Loved them both.

Don't really care about Cruise's personal life, and have yet to see a bad film he's in.

That's going way, way back, Panzer. :P I'm pretty sure I've seen it before, but I'll check it out.

Ex Machina

I thought Oblivion was a good film,I've seen it 3 times so far.

I'll check out Cargo.

Betcha didn't know about Approaching the Unknown

I know you've seen a lot of scifi so I was trying to suggest some obscure films.


Having said that, "Frau im Mond" is the first film ever to portray a countdown launch sequence.

Never heard of this one but it has several well known actors in it!

I like "Oblivion" but it loses a lot in subsequent viewings once you know what the big twist/reveal is.

I watched Cargo last night. It was a good film but about 10 minutes in I realised I'd seen it before. I still did the whole thing again though.

Stupid memory
