The Top 25 Sci-Fi Movies of the 21st Century | Deadline Nov 17 (REVISED, 2 days earlier!)

[The Panda]

Man I still need to see some of those, really wanna see, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Children of Men, District 9, Moon, Looper The Butterfly Effect, The World's End Chronicle and Equilibrum.. gee I'm really behind on my watching aren't I?

I'd say see Eternal Sunshine and Children of Men immediately.

They are top 50 of all time good

[The Panda]

I'd like to edit my list to add The Road, but that's not technically listed as sci-fi (Despite it being post-apocalyptic)

You don't want to do that, The Road was shit.

You don't want to do that, The Road was shit.

The Road is a very well made movie, with great acting and emotional tone. You don't need big action scenes to make things interesting. It is supposed to be a drama and it succeeds nicely.

The Road's some poetic, beautiful stuff.

Am I the only person who has love for the total silliness that was Evolution?

Evolution? Ivan Reitman's film? Oh well that was funny. As you said, the movie itself was total silliness on purpose and something worked, something didn't. But overall I thought it was harmless fun.

Haven't seen evolution but glad to see someone other than me had Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy on their list. I loved that film even though it didn't reach the genius of the book.

I didn't like how overly depressing it was just for the sake of being overly depressing. It's a well made movie with a pretty weak plot imo. Had nothing to do with the lack of action lol, more to do with lack of interesting plot.

evolution is great entertainment.

That's the one. The film that gave the world the immortal line:

 

"There's always time for Lubricant!"

Yeah, matching the book was never going to happen but I actually thought it did a really good job with some perfect casting in places such as Rickman as Marvin and Stephen Fry as the Guide.

 

Was a shame we never got a trilogy (in 5 parts of course).

a serious movie set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland is necessarily depressing. What a joke. Edited November 6, 2014 by Goffe R Swanson

Also, pretentious is the worst word to describe a movie.

Well, it IS the saddest movie I've ever seen. But I loved it exactly for that. My then gf cried about 15 minutes after it was over

Yeah but I wasn't invested in the plot, I usually love dark depressing films, they just have to be good. I couldn't get into it and to me, I needed more than a depressing tone to appreciate the movie. Viggo needs more roles though, he is a great actor.

I was describing the comment, not the movie.
