Ten Truly Underrated Sci-Fi Movies via linkmachinego. Don't forget the follow up post at the bottom.
Those I've seen, all worth watching if you like sf:
Primer: Best movie time travel ever
Tron: Absolutely classic, also has amusing-in-retrospect Sheridan & Londo scene :)
Existenz: Kind of crap, imo, but still really interesting
Gattacca: Awesome, like Primer actually takes it's material seriously
Dark City: Really interesting and effective style, even if it didn't make sense in parts. Borderline fantasy.
Cypher: I found this a bit shallow under it's cleverness, and very much reminiscent of a book I read in primary school (I won't say which for spoiler reasons)
The Quiet Earth: Saw this at Swancon, very strange and slow but unique and interesting. Are there any other NZ sf films?
I've read the story of "A boy and his dog" and it was effectively creepy, don't think I'd like the film.
Added to Quickflix queue: "Enemy Mine", "Silent Running" and "Strange days".
You HAVE to watch the trailer for "Enemy Mine". I can see why it's considered one of the slashiest canons ever "Hatred..turns tolove tolerance. Tolerance..turns to love friendship. Friendship..turns to love."
Also, I don't care what they say, it may be cheesy and shallow but I liked Equilibrium :P
