 Whats your favourite Sci-Fi movie ? 
#11381674 - 11/04/09 04:24 AM (17 days, 22 hours ago) |

For me 'Aliens' is probably one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever. I'm here at uni and I got kinda frustrated with all that revising and shit. So I decided to turn to the shroomery cause if its immense wisdom and ask for a recommendation. I prefer stuff from the 80s and early 90s cause in my opinion most of the contemporary crap is not worth even downloading.. Thanx)

really tough question. i love a lot of sci-fi movies for completely different reasons.
2001 is just a fucking masterpiece. however, it's the sort of film that i only like to watch once or twice a year.
bladerunner is epic, even with 80s glam shining through some of the characters.
i'm a firefly fanboy, so of course i love serenity.
the first matrix will always hold a special place in my heart. i like to pretend the 2nd and 3rd never happened. the first was pretty fucking badass though.

Well I think that Sci-Fi channel did a great job on the Dune mini series. Which was perhaps one of my favorite novels.

Star Trek is sci-fi. The "universe" in it is our own in the future, not an alternate one as in say Star Wars.

But it's not our universe. The physics doesn't work out with what we know to be true in our world.
I like Star Trek, don't get me wrong. But it's not science fiction.

Depends if you want your horror concrete or more psychological If the latter then the second two. If the former then the first two.

You're talking about the difference between "hard" and "soft" sci-fi, not the difference between sci-fi and fantasy.

most times i will agree with you but there are a few exceptions that come to mind. you HAVE to see Sunshine, Moon, and 12 Monkeys if youve not already. they are fantastic modern scifi movies.
other than that i tend to like more of the 50s-60s scifi:
The Time Machine <-- 1960
Planet of the Apes <-- 1968
Forbidden Planet <-- 1956
Logans Run <-- 1976
Journey to the Center of the Earth <-- 1959
Fantastic Voyage <-- 1966
The Day The Earth Stood Still <-- 1951
Marooned <-- 1969
Total Recall <-- 1990
Lifeforce <-- 1985 - who knew i would enjoy a movie about "space vampires" as much as i did
Gattaca <-- 1997
Primer <-- 2004
Dark City <-- 1998

Is Donnie Darko sic-fi?
--------------------
People say that what we're all seeking is a meaning for life. I don't
think that's what we're really seeking. I think what we're seeking is an
experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely
physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and
reality, so we can actually feel the rapture of being alive.

It depends on whether you take it literally or as some sort of representation of the kid's schizophrenia.
You could easily argue for both.

Not really, its not based on any theory in physics or science. It is full of 'fantasy', but all movies have fantasy in them - that doesnt mean they are all in the fantasy genre.
I think you would be hard pressed to find any sci-fi movie that didnt have fantasy in it, still they are considered 'sci-fi' and not 'fantasy' movies.
My vote goes to star wars.

really tough question. i love a lot of sci-fi movies for completely different reasons.
2001 is just a fucking masterpiece. however, it's the sort of film that i only like to watch once or twice a year.
bladerunner is epic, even with 80s glam shining through some of the characters.
i'm a firefly fanboy, so of course i love serenity.
the first matrix will always hold a special place in my heart. i like to pretend the 2nd and 3rd never happened. the first was pretty fucking badass though.
Exactly. Scifi is prob the hardest genre to pick one movie out of.

Serenity was cool western meets the future and I loved the movie
"The Island" with that hot blond Scarlett Johanson was really cool too.
Older classics,
Alien, Aliens, Predator and Blade Runner.

I am a huge fan of Vanilla Sky. More of a drama with sci-fi and (very mild) thrilling elements. However I may be the only one on earth who actually likes this movie.

just because no one has said it: eXistenZ
its not really amazing sober, but i would imagine it would fuck your brain pretty bad on a dissociative.
"Allegra Geller (Jennifer Jason Leigh), the greatest game designer in the world, is testing her latest virtual reality game, eXistenZ, with a focus group in a large hall. The game is fully immersive; to play, players must plug a 'pod', a bio-organic gaming device, into a 'bio-port' near the bottom of the spine...
...The results lead the pair on a strange adventure where it becomes impossible to tell whether their actions are their own or the will of the game, and whether they are in the game or the real world."

my favorite part of snowcrash is the part where he cuts that guy's head off, runs out the door, and then its like 1 sentence of "there was a big chase and he got away safely".

Good; strange, but good.
also i havnt seen it but the story that ive heard from Pandora sounds pretty interesting. District 9 was intriguing just cause it didnt follow typical molds, i think a sequel would be better.
Anyone seen Kaena:The Prophecy? interesting french cg movie, lots of reviews mention a thin plot but i dont remember that stickin out too bad back when i watched it.
I havnt seen Brazil, guess i need to check that out.

Can the critics still deny that the geometry of matter is directly related to the harmonic interweaving of light itself? There is no substance, in the absolute sense. We live in a reality of un-reality; all is an illusion and the stuff that dreams are made of. Our physical world is nothing more than a resonating ball of light and shade."
"If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern."
