HoonDing Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 All these movies are crap compared to the golden era of sci-fi in the 50s & 60s. The day the Earth stood still, Forbidden Planet... Queen of Outer Space. Lulz. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPGmasterBoo Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 K-Pax? Hah. Elaborate? Whazza wrong with K-Pax appart from being a bit soppy? All these movies are crap compared to the golden era of sci-fi in the 50s & 60s. The day the Earth stood still, Forbidden Planet... Queen of Outer Space. Lulz. Would you believe that there are actually people that believe that?

Hurlshort Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) I haven't seen quite a few of those. Is Artificial Intelligence the same as A.I? No Minority Report? I assume you left Avatar off because it is more fantasy than sci-fi. edit: Doh! Just checked the actual link you put in Edited May 7, 2010 by Hurlshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amentep Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Forbidden Planet is awesome. I'd take Children of Men over AI, Wall-E, K-Pax or 28 Days Later. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hurlshort Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I'm not entirely sure I'd refer to 28 Days Later as sci-fi. I can see the argument for Eternal Sunshine though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you left Avatar off because it is more fantasy than sci-fi. Yes. No, never liked it. A nice thriller, but no lasting impact. You misunderstood, the actual article with the no. 1- no. 5 titles has been linked at the top. Avatar is no.4. Btw in any top 10 list the actual placing is a bit forced. In my eyes only no.1 and perhaps no.2 are mindblowing, the rest are genre flicks.

Amentep Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Its as much sci-fi as the novel Day of the Triffids which 28 Days Later... resembles greatly... I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

RPGmasterBoo Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 I'm not entirely sure I'd refer to 28 Days Later as sci-fi. I can see the argument for Eternal Sunshine though. Dunno, the zombie apocalypse genre always shifts between horror and sci fi purely as a categorization mostly based on what the zombies originate from. The movie itself is really pure horror but then, so is Alien.

Amentep Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Ah, well then what about I Am Legend? Yeah I think its sci-fi even if its dealing in a generic theme of Vampirism (albeit the film adaption called The Omega Man drops the vampirism angle in its infected). I cannot - yet I must.

Morgoth Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I'll probably be in the minority here but I kinda thought the remake of The Time Machine wasn't too bad. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amentep Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I'll probably be in the minority here but I kinda thought the remake of The Time Machine wasn't too bad. I liked it as well but most people seemed to hate it. I liked Pandorum and Serenity as well. Didn't really like the Will Smith I Am Legend though I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

RPGmasterBoo Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 I'm surprised there's no Serenity in that list. I'm somewhat surprised that its so highly rated. I didn't see anything but a fun, albeit visually cheap (and thus a bit ugly) space opera. I'll probably be in the minority here but I kinda thought the remake of The Time Machine wasn't too bad. It was passable. I'm a bit soft on Victorian visuals. No Pandorum neither? You really think it should be included? (just asking, since it didn't really captivate me) Ah, well then what about I Am Legend? It kinda completely ignored the point of the book and turned it into another save the world story. Couldn't really get past that. Imperium Thought for the Day: Even a man who has nothing can still offer his life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volourn Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) "I'll probably be in the minority here but I kinda thought the remake of The Time Machine wasn't too bad." Better than the original to be sure which was a chore to sit through afterwards. If Artificial Intelligence is actually A.I., great choice. Highly underrated epic. Beautifully atmospheric film. Another sci fi epic that gets slammed or ignored that I really like is Robin William's Bicentiennal Man which has the same basic themes as AI. I Am Legend is a great movien high(low?) light by a sadly sickening scene that creeps me out just thinking about it.

kirottu Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 (edited) I'd take Children of Men over AI, Wall-E, K-Pax or 28 Days Later. Me too. I would also put Equilibrium there. Is V for Vendetta scifi movie? If so I would put it up there too. Edited May 7, 2010 by kirottu This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

RPGmasterBoo Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 I'd take Children of Men over AI, Wall-E, K-Pax or 28 Days Later. Me too. I would also put Equilibrium there. I found it a bit of a cheap 1984 knock off, with the worst fight scenes ever As in, everything taken from 1984 and Farenheit 451 was good, everything the filmmakers added on their own sucked.

RPGmasterBoo Posted May 7, 2010 Author Share Posted May 7, 2010 Is V for Vendetta scifi movie? If so I would put it up there too. It is, since the dystopian genre has been firmly incorporated into sci-fi (eg: A Clockwork Orange). I didn't put it, because it perverted the point of the comic which was Anarchism vs Fascism to the Bush administration, vs Liberalism. Alan Moore, was very outspoken against it for the same reason. I'm very sensitive to politics in film, believing that you can't be art and propaganda at the same time, since their goals are completely different. V for Vendetta had a bit too much modern day politics/propaganda for my tastes. Otherwise its a well made film.

Gorgon Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 There is almost no good sci fi for the last decade so it's tough going. But yeah. k-pax ?. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monte Carlo Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 For the purpose of clarity, I deem sci-fi to include sub-genres (horror / war / post apoc). These are ten of my favourites in no particular order: * Mad Max 2 (much better than any of the others in the series) * Aliens 2 (ditto) * Invasion of the Bodysnatchers (the 1976 remake with Donald Sutherland) * Rollerball * Starship Troopers (on a number of levels, but the original only) * Robocop (ditto - i'd buy that for a dollar) * Blade Trilogy (am happy to argue the toss, it's sci-fi / horror imo) * Independence Day (brilliant popcorn movie take on the invasion genre) * Mars Attacks! * Bladerunner (duh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoonDing Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 * Rollerball Since you mentioned this, I can finally bring up Ghosts of Mars. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
