Alien - amazing set design, terrifying, Sigourney Weaver is hot. Aliens was good too but it lacked the truly isolated feeling of the first film and was too much bravado/action in place of suspense and character development.
2001: A Space Odyssey - captivating art direction and photography, revolutionary for its time and still the darkest, most chilling portrayal of AI gone wrong I've seen yet. This is an absolute must-see.
Ghost in the Shell - Dystopic, convincing imagination of a world that has become completely inter-connected via a universal network. Bio mechanical cop heroine contemplates the 'ghost' (her soul) in the 'shell' (her artificial body). Strong theme of existentialism and some of the most gorgeous cityscapes of any science fiction premise - the opening sequence is particularly breathtaking.
Others I like but not with the same zeal as ^ are:
Akira
Solaris
Blade Runner
Sunrise
Children of Men
Moon
Inception
Wall-E All great movies, im biased so Im totally not with your assessment of Aliens (lol). Ghost in the shell was great, the series even more so. It was kinda like watching an anime mix of CSI/X-Files if you get the meaning. Id put Akira higher simply because it was such an impressional movie on me and my art career
Yeah I've watched the standalone complex stuff too - great series.
Akira is visually stunning, I'm not surprised :D Such an epic movie.. if there's any other mention of anime sci-fi i've really enjoyed, Nausicaa: Valley of the Wind, Memories and Metropolis are all up there with the favourites.

Yes it was nowhere near as good as the books, yes the whole "wierding module" **** didn't really work but it had a decent stab at representing the wheels-within-wheels factiony politicking that pervades the Dune novels.
It is also quite the worst piece of unashamedly gingerist propoganda I've ever seen. Every single last one of the Harkonnens is disturbingly ginger... this has to have been deliberate. If he'd shot the film using just black actors to represent the Harkonnens there would have been an uproar, but as it was ginger folk everyone was OK with that as it's not like they actually have souls.
Still, if you overlook (temporarily demoted to ginger) Sting's uberbad overacting, there were some reasonably believable performances in there and it was as epic in scale as I'd have expected having read the book.
While I agree on some points, I have to say that being perfectly secure in my manhood, Sting in a futuristic Harkkonen speedo more than makes up for his acting. lol

Metropolis and Steamboy were fantastic. And if you havent already, I strongly suggest Princess Mononoke and Howls Moving Castle. Also, very much worth a sci fi look is Battle Angel Alita. See.It.Now!

I found Princess Mononoke pretty dull actually, but loved Howl's Moving Castle. Spirited Away is another favourite :) Ghibli films are the best eh.. haven't heard of Battle Angel Alita nor Steamboy, will check them out! |

Yea Battle Angel is based off a comic I read in my early teens, great stuff. Steamboy is good too, but mostly for the great art direction Miyazaki is known for.

Also one I really enjoyed was Phenomenon with John Travolta. A bit on the saccharine side, but it plays to some of what sci fi enthusiasts/medical experts believe about cancer and unexpected side effects from it.

Indeed, Riddick was a good character to get into. The games were beyond expectation as well.

Wow, Flight of the Navigator brings back some memories! I had to watch Pandorum a second time to really get with it, I like how they interpreted the "psychosis" aspect that some movies get into.

Compliance! hehe
Pandorum kind of reminded me of "Dawn of the Dead" on a spaceship, and had one of the best scifi movie endings ever imo
As far as cult classic scifi goes Message from Space has to be one of my all time favorites.

In hindsight, Chris Hansen should have popped out of the cut somewhere in that clip lol. And the end of Pandorum was good, but to me the freakiest part was the mass escape pod ejection. That is one fkd up way to go.

Yea I loved SB when I was a kid. But Robot Jox was waaaaaay ahead of its time. And there isnt a mech based game that I play where it doesnt come to mind.

Blade Runner, hands down, no need even to say why. But best sci-fi/cyberpunk movie ever made ...ever.
Then Dune, Alien, Empire strikes back, Matrix, wrath of khan. But all pale in comparison to Blade Runner, period. |

What was it about the movie? Other than the fact it had probably the sexiest people around at that time as the cast lol. Young Harrison Ford, Darryl Hannah, Sean Young and Rutger Hauer.

I have to admit im impressed at how they stay solvent. I was flipping through channels last night and I saw some guy fishing get eaten by a giant flying lizard thing. LOL in school we used Sci Fi effects as a tool to know how we DONT want our 3D models to look. They do have good commercial graphic tiles tho lol
