Serious question /tv/. So recently I've went and watched what you would call the "big" sci-fi released in the past few years;
>Gravity
>Interstellar
>The Martian
>Moon

I was wondering if there are any other sci-fi flicks that were hyped or as big budget as these? I'm looking for new recent scifi to indulge.
>>
>>82600489
>>Gravity
Not really accurate if you actually know how space travel and orbiingt works, but still good

>>Interstellar
Nonsense garbage

>>The Martian
Enjoyable

>>Moon
The best of these four, truly a great movie

I agree with your listing to be honest, except I found The Martian to be very dull, boring and sterile.

Can you think of any other overly hyped recent sci-fi?
>>
>Arrival
>Under the Skin
>Life
>Looper
>Prometheus
>Source Code
>Elysium
>Oblivion
>Into Darkness
>>
Started listening the top 100 sci-fi books of all time its top shit, films cant compete. Since sci-fi is expensive as fuck and the its not popular.
>>
>>82600489

>elysium
Social justice and trans-human garbage!

>passengers
Watchable. Would have been better as a slasher flick, with Chris Pratt's character stalking and terrorizing the passengers in some twisted game.

>life
Better than Gravity.
>>
The best recent sci-fi is not on the big screen. It's The Expanse
Has it flaws (the main guy), but the sci-fi aspects of it are really good
>>
>>82600648
Passenger
https://letterboxd.com/film/passengers-2016/
A pretty comfy movie with Jlaw

Arrival
https://letterboxd.com/film/arrival-2016/
I hated it because of something i cant tell you, but you should watch it

Jupiter Acending
https://letterboxd.com/film/jupiter-ascending/
This is more space fantasy than scifi but i liked the message he try to send

Exmachina
https://letterboxd.com/film/ex-machina-2015/
Hated it because i cant spoiler you, anyway watch it

Chappie
https://letterboxd.com/film/chappie/
A great movie about artificial intelligence

Predestination
https://letterboxd.com/film/predestination/
Lol, this is literally time travel stuff pushed to the limit of nonsense, i hated it because i hate time travel stuff but i some weird way i liked how much stupidly intricate was
>>
>>82600676
>Under the Skin
>Oblivion
>Life

These are the only ones I haven't seen. I'll check out Life and Under the Skin.

>>82600878
>Arrival
>Jupiter Ascending
>Predestination
>Passenger

Haven't seen these either. I'll take em into stride.

It looks like most of the good stuff (i.e., Chappie, Source Code, Moon) I've already seen.
>>

>It looks like most of the good stuff (i.e., Chappie, Source Code, Moon) I've already seen.

This is good, i suggest all Neill Blomkamp's movie other than chappie, District 9 and Elysium are great movies. Also, i suggest In time (the one with justin timberlake) it's a pretty good movie, more action than scifi but sends a great message.
>>
>>82601138
I think I should buy you a beer buddy we seem to have real similar tastes. I've saw everything Blomkamp has on offer (District 9 > Chappie > Elysium). I watched In Time at the cinema back when it came out and surprisingly remember much of it, I think it might be a hidden sci-fi gem.
>>
Fury Road
Dredd
>>
>>82601014
Under the Skin is definitely worth it, enjoy

>Under the Skin
you will fall in love with this movie or hate for the rest of your life
>Oblivion
Tom's kino. Enjoyable
>Life
Havent seen
>Arrival
Interstellar wannabe. Enjoyable shit
>Jupiter Ascending
shit. shit. shit. And this comes from a guy who masturbated once to Mila Kunis
>Predestination
well, kinda watchable
>Passenger
Really watchable. Dont put too much hope into it
>>
>>82600648

Agreed, I actually hated the Martian for forcing so hard the whole quip-fest thing with Damon and him sporting a cast-away beard all of sudden near the end of the film was fucking ridiculous.
>>
>>82601766
Martian was mediocre. I really dont get it why it is so praised
>>
>>82600778
>>elysium
>Social justice and trans-human garbage!

Actually, Elysium is a metaphor for South African history.
>Whites build a society filled with wonderful things
>Brown people proliferate massively
>Brown people turn society into a third-world dystopian nightmare as whites NOPE out
>White people retreat to their isolated, guarded enclaves
>Brown people make it their mission in life to tear down the walls of the enclave and violently pillage the last bastion of whites
>The only reason they succeed is they flipped a white and he did the heavy lifting
>>
>>82600489
It's a series not a movie, but check out The Expanse.
>>
>>82601204
brofist
>>
>>82601204
>In Time
+1 for this. Very unpopular opinion here
>>
>>82600489
Contact, a bit older but one of the best sci fi ever

I liked the concept of In time! Any other movies with the same premise?
>>
Pandorum is pretty good.
>>
>>82602474
Its not. Good general idea. Lousy plot and execution
>>
>>82602381
>premise
? limited time or artificial world?
>>
>>82602381
>Snowpiercer
You would enjoy this one for sure

>Divergent (only the first one)
If you can stand the teenage drama, is watchable.

>the Robocop remake
Is surprisingly above the average. Maybe bacuase i was expecting some low budget trash movie like the original one.

>Edge of tomorrow
If you can stand Tom Cruise and time travel shit.

>Transcendence
I dont know how to explain this, the movie is really poor explained if you know a little of those thing works in real life, but it also give you a lot to think about.

>Attack the block
A pretty nice "goonies with aliens" movie

Ok man, now i'm really out of bullets

>>
>>82601911
or Dark Matter, or Killjoys. but Expanse is better
>>
I watched Moon recently, it was very bland, lukewarm, dull and predictable, a very overrated flick overall.

As for recommendations - Until the End of The World by Wim Wenders.
>>
>>82605364
Also, Godard's Alphaville.
>>
>>82605393
OP here, Alphaville was weird as fuck but I loved it.
>>
Timeless
>>
Dark City desu
>>
pandorum
sunshine
solaris (original one)
primer
>>
>>82605643
>Dark City
Never saw this, will watch.

>>82605705
>Pandorum
>Solaris
I'll have a look at these.

Primer was great but kind of forgettable.
>>
>>82600778
Die you fucking ignorant rube.
>>
>>82605705
>>82605757
>Primer was great but kind of forgettable.

Forgettable as a movie, but it's the only movie ever made who deal with time travel in the proper way.
>>
>>82600489
Many good films already mentioned. Somehow no-one has mentioned the really big movies, like Star Wars and Star Trek.

For interesting smaller films not yet mentioned I would say Europa Report and Source Code.
>>
>>82600878
>t. the plebbest
Holy shit, I never disagreed with anyone more than with you.

>Passenger
Romance flick, absolute shit.
>Arrival
Yeah, it really wasn't any good.
>Jupiter Acending
Twilight in space.
>Exmachina
Absolute kino.
>Chappie
Pure shit.
>Predestination
Nice movie about CTC.
>>
>>82606112
Don't worry mate, not everyone could have god taste in movies, you are one of them. There is nothing wrong in it.
>>
>>82606216
Your post is quite ambiguous. Please tell me if I should be feeling offended right now.
>>
>>82606112
>Not liking Chappie

Can you explain this?
>>
>>82606052
>Star Wars and Star Trek
They are so ubiquitous that it doesn't make sense to mention in these threads. Besides, most of them are shit in a sci-fi point of view.
>>
>>82606512
Oh they are rather light on the sci-fi side, along with Avatar, but still they are movies with spaceships and aliens.
>>
>>82606112
Jupiter ascending was god-fucking-awful. I didn't even last more than halfway through. I'm mad I wasted the bandwidth downloading an HD copy, I can't even imagine how people that paid to see it felt. I don't even understand how a studio sees a rough cut of something like that and says "Yeah, this is good, continue spending millions of dollars polishing this",
>>
>>82606455
The sci-fi aspects of it weren't that bad, it's just the rest of the movie that was.
Wolverine was dumb "hurr durr your robot is better than mine i'll kill you" and pointed a gun to the poo-in-loo in front of a lot of people in the office, nothings happens. The drug dealers were very retarded, very very retarded, "oh, you know, robots are machines so they must have a remote controller. i know! lets kidnap someone to make a remote control for us!" and the poo-in-loo was another retard that goes back to the kidnappers instead of inventing a story about being coerced to steal a robot or they would kill his grandma or something.

It's head on pants retarded the whole movie.
>>
>>82600676
>>Under the Skin
the scar jo movie?
>>
>>82607359
Now I remembered why I haven't watched this yet.
