Her was pretty good. I think the recent Blade Runner does a better job of exploring that movie’s central conceit, but if you’re in the mood for some laughs rather than a cosmic bummer, might be the better pick. |

Date: August 6th, 2019 11:28 PM Author: Electric Selfie Arrival is easily the best (it's one of my top ten films of all time), but here are some others I'll include for various reasons (story, imagery, concept, etc.):
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind Mad Max Fury Road - is this scifi?
SOLID ENJOYABLE SCIFI WITH GOOD CONCEPT Children of Men District 9 Edge of Tomorrow
VISUALLY STUNNING Gravity Paprika Wall-E Inception Avatar - but honestly it's garbage unless you're watching it in imax 3d, and then it was the best 3d movie ever made
ENJOYABLE CONCEPT The Martian Interstellar Chronicle
FUCK YOU TIER Hot Tub Time Machine
Is Donnie Darko scifi? 28 Days Later?
EDIT: Forgot 10 Cloverfield Lane, assuming this counts as scifi but not sure bc basically there's no scifi until the last minute of the movie |
