Galaxy Quest and Ghostbusters); sci-fi war movies (Edge of Tomorrow), sci-fi romances (Starman), sci-fi thrillers (Predestination) ... it never ends!

Blade Runner was the first really "A-List" budget film, with an "A-List" star, to examine the question of what it means to be human, and to do it in a really thoughtful way. Unfortunately, because it was so ground-breaking, the studio stiffs freaked right out and insisted that Ridley Scott dumb it down with a cheesy voice-over and a happy ending. I thought it was interesting, when first released in theaters, but the Directors Cut to remove the studio interference made it my favorite science fiction film of all time, for the longest time. It's still right up there in the Top 3, and sometimes finds its way back to to the top spot, kinda depending on my mood.

Yes, I know "The Handmaid's Tale" doesn't count as a *film* since it's a book and a TV series (unless the movie was an actual movie and not made for TV) but it's the same plot. Also, the revival "The Outer Limits" from the 1990s did an episode called "Black Rain" (or maybe "Dark Rain") with the same plot as "Children of Men".

And the fact that Stanley Kubrick had actual scientists from NASA on set involved with building or designing models of the crafts used in space scenes. Every aspect of this film says stunning. From HAL, to Bowman, to Poole, and on to the great Monolith. Arthur C. Clark was a visionary man when it came to writing specific kinds of thought provoking stories like this one, which tries to put us somewhere on the map of our known universe. Stanley took it further with this beautiful gem. As you said, no CGI except for the ship or the discovery's computer screens during filming. All built sets, cinematography that helped many directors later on in the years such as George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. It truly is the pinnacle of movie making. Plus the fact it held the most believable Ape man scenes I have ever watched.

District 9 makes a mockery of its own story line right out of the gate. That nobody working on the film pointed out the idiotic mistake they made is the question that needs answering. They go and show us this alien scavenging through their discarded bits of tech to gather the black goop. A few drops here, a few drops there. He's been doing it for years they tell us because he knows how much he needs to get the ship going. And then.... well just forget about all that... because dumb human guy spills a bunch of it all over himself and the room. And well, the alien still has enough! Go figure, dumb the alien spent all that time gathering more when he didn't even need to because he long ago had enough. Why the fuck would they create that story and then, 5 minutes later, shit on their own story and toss it in the bin as if it never existed? Ruined what would have otherwise been a good movie.

Blade Runner is a monumental movie that set the tone for the vast majority of sci fi movies that came later .... even later Star Wars movies tried to copy its looks and styles. Its influence on the later generations is greater than even 2001 Space Odyssey, there are countless great directors, writers, artists, philosophers, animes, games, even tech companies citing it as a great influence and inspiration .... I would surely put Blade Runner above 2001 Space Odyssey ... its mind boggling any sci fi list would exclude it in the top 10 ... anything lower than top 2 is frankly ignorant too ....

"2001: A Space Odyssey" is the expansion of an Arthur C. Clarke short story titled "The Sentinel". Clarke himself has given full credit for the inspiration to a British philosopher, William Olaf Stapledon, who, because his thinking in the 1920s was so advanced that his colleagues had no idea what he was talking about, had to resort to writing scifi in pulp magazines to explain what he saw. What he was talking about has influenced many scifi writers who have publicly acknowledged their debt to him. Two books, "Last and First Men" and "Star Maker", in that order, will introduce you to a Universe which, at the time of his writing was 'officially' considered to be about 1.8 Billion years old, but which he considered to be much older. Albeit his writing style seems a bit archaic, you will find the seeds for much of what has become our view of the Universe relative to collective Human perception. Even today, his vision still underlies much if not most of what we call both scifi and of our perception of the Universe. A sadness here is that at a time (1920-30s) while propagandistic and questionable 'genius' was being front-paged for reasons having nothing to do with science and knowledge, true genius worked in obscurity and remains there.

I still don't get why people didn't like interstellar. It was rather accurate in terms of physics. They actually dealt with the way a massive black hole warps space time, and their depiction of a black hole is the most accurate depiction of a black hole in all of cinema. It also had some amazing sequences like the docking one. And Tars made the movie so much better. The whole black hole bookshelf thing was a bit outlandish. But overall I thought it was a phenomenal film.
@bauke56 жыл бұрын
the problem is that most people don't understand (theoretical) physics and thus get put off by a lot of ideas in the movie. they will simply call it bad or 'impossible' because they don't understand it really. as for the bookshelf I guess that's more opinion based, personally I thought it was a pretty good representation, keep in mind that it had to be something that cooper could understand, wrap his head around (as in why he was there and what he was supposed to do and how) and use to relay his message. since he had already experienced murphs "ghost" he knew how he could communicate with her using only gravity (as that apparently is the only force that can cross the dimensions)

People want a happy resolution to this kind of movie. Now technically it has a "happy ending" with him returning to the woman he's fallen in love with, but that was never the point of the movie, which was about him returning to his family. Getting back just in time to see his daughter die of old age was a bummer. Even if the two of them saved humanity (they did) we still feel as though he "lost" because he didn't get the happy reunion he'd imagined and hoped for. Reminds me a bit of The Last American Virgin. One of the funniest popcorn flicks coming of age comedies ever BUT it has a very dark ending, and people commonly say they hated the movie. No, they loved the movie, but hated the way it ended.

i did liked the Story of the Fifth Element but to much slapstik and comedy. If it wouled have been made more seriusly and realistik it couled have been the best movie of all time, but in that state its not.

aaron this is S C I F I. besides of that, have you been through black? have any of us been there? No, all of these things they have told are just theories. "and then reappear near Jupiter some 40 years later" you obviously didnt watch the whole movie lad. He was in a planet right next to black hole, where times run slower (thats actually a another theorie)

One of the aspects that makes Sci-fi good is that the genre offers ample opportunity to look backwards and critique the society we live in or look forwards and raise interesting questions about human nature. Interstellar does neither. Interstellar's Earth is dying. This is very interesting. There are lots of ideas to explore here. Interstellar doesn't explore any. The fact that the Earth is dying is just a vehicle to move the plot forward. The astronaut man abandons his daughter to try to save the planet. Again interesting ideas to explore, the movie doesn't. Sleeping one's life away? Wasn't explored. The ideas that are explored are played solely for spectacle.

"Contact" the book magnificently goes into what these people point out in this piece referring to the movie. It's really very interesting. The movie only hits certain points, as it is just a movie. Similarly, I strongly recommend reading the book "2001." I thought the movie kind of pretty but incomprehensible when I first saw it as a 14-year-old. I read the novel two years later, and now I can't get enough of the movie.

I know this is a crazy CRAZY big task, but I need this channel to make a “just 10 (maybe 20-30) movies you should watch if you just love movies” I adore this channel. I’ve found so many great movies from this channel. I’ve won trivia points because of this channel. And in terms of production I appreciate its depth yet tangibility. But every single list gives me, in the gods honest truth, anywhere between 1-10 movies I want to watch, and of all the channels I follow THIS is the one I need a starters list. And it’s not like you won’t have PLENTY of options left, many who’d be left in the comments.

'Alien' was wei better than 'Alian' . Seriously though, I saw Alien and Jaws when I was 10 or 12 years old with my very brave older brother and his friends right when they hit the theaters. Truly, two of the scariest experiences in my life. Groundbreaking films at the time. The impact of sight, story, and sound was so powerful that I had to watch a few scenes from the door to the lobby

You might disagree, but I think District 9 is one of the greatest science fiction movies of all time. It had style, and a fairly original story that was very convincing. I really believed that's how mankind may really react to aliens who crash landed on earth and lacked the ability to conquer and intimidate us. The idea made me want to laugh, but it was dark. Not to mention great action, and awesome acting. 10/10 good touch officer.
