SCI-FI Movies.

[Cybernetic]

Anyone have any recomendations for really good Sci Fi movies? Movies that include like, Space, Black Wholes, Whacky but potential theories and futuristic stuff that also include Cyborgs, Androids, Well Cybernetics also, interstellar travel, wormholes, Life outside our planet etc etc.

I've watched a lot of movies Sci-Fi movies such as all the Alien films and the old Predator ones. Supernova. Puzzlehead. Alien Vs Predator 1-2 ( I didint like them much ), watched Star Trek also but it was not exactly my taste its more a costume party and sorta unrealistic and plenty of whoom I cant remember

If you guys know any movies that might fall into my interests please tell me !

What is the difference between a cybernetic and a cyborg (Cybernetic organism)

Well the important old ones are star wars, blade runner, 2001: A space odyssey and the "planet of the apes" series.

Of the newer sort I personally love "the fifth element" although it is a bit goofy.

A movie that wasnt a big success but I found to be pretty good was "dark city", it seemed like a total "the matrix" ripoff until I realized it came out a year earlier

This is an impossible thread. Go check out

Oh and you can't miss out; The Hitchhikers guide to the Galaxy. It's pure win!

But nice list, I should download some of those.

damn some awesome flicks in there. also the real sci-fi genre setters like the original the day the earth stood still and invasion of the body snatchers!

I love films, but frankly you can't beat the books for some real classic.  A few film adaptation have really butchered them though such as Battlefield: Earth

[Gaeios(Graxlos)]

same goes for hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Awesome trilogy in five parts.

So fail movie adaptation.

True, the books are way more fun then the movie. Same goes for Harry Potter, but you can hardly call that SCI-FI.

There are a lot of great sci-fis that doesn’t take place in space. But here’s a list of my favorite space ones.

Total Recall (1990). Schwarzenegger in space and a girl with three tits. Must see, very entertaining . Funny costumes. (8/10)

Sunshine (2007). Scientists flying to the dying sun to blow it back to life with nukes. Nice apocalyptic atmosphere. From Danny Boyle that made 28 days later, a great post apocalyptic film most people have seen. A lot of people seem to have missed this one though. (8/10)

Solaris (1972). A psychologist travelling to a space station by the planet Solaris to investigate why a lot of weird things have been going on since the boss there committed suicide. This is not a monster flick but a surrealistic and philosophical movie about reality (do we create it for ourselves, etc). It’s also romantic and incredibly beautiful (9/10). PS. Heavy symbolism so be in the right mood (or avoid it if you don’t like that kind of sci-fi).

Planet of the Apes (1968). Classic post apocalyptic sci-fi. I would avoid the zillion other ones in the series though unless you’re a huge fan (8/10).

Alien (1979). One of my favorite movies, all categories. Best monster movie ever. (10/10)

2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Also one of my favorites. I’ve written about this one and Alien in the thread “films to see before you die” so check that if you’re interested.  (10/10)
