What happened to sci-fi???[views:13776][posts:137]__________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 11:14am - reimroc ""] aril you really need to redeem yourself now. pandorum a "good" movie? who are you shitting bro? terrible acting, plot holes xgodzillax could fit through, retarded story, boring antagonist rip offs of the movie the descent. |

YOU CAN WATCH OLD MOVIES ANY TIME YOU WANT. original twilight zones or outer limits FTW outer limits was ok but the twilight zone. man, nothing will ever compare to rod sterling's genius. quite possibly the greatest sci-fi tv series ever produced. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 11:20am - arilliusbm ""] Wrong. I said it was an "ok" sci fi thriller. It wasn't perfect at all, but was better than d9 |
| __________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 11:23am - reimroc ""] definitely NOT better than D9. i don't even care what you think about D9 anymore its the fact that you consider pandorm remotely ok. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 11:24am - arilliusbm ""] reimrocs favorite sci fi movie was the chronicles of riddick |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 11:28am - arktouros ""] haha...Pitch Black was actually good but i am a fan of the Riddick series. The escape from butcher bay/that remake that just came out is a killer underrated game. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 11:28am - the_reverend ""] event horizon anyone? *crickets* |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 11:32am - arilliusbm ""] PS: I think a halflife movie is doable, but should have more focus on action/filmography than dialogue. the beginning of the movie should have most of it, because he WAS SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE TEST CHAMBER HALF AN HOUR AGO |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 11:35am - arktouros ""] you know that a big budget means they would have to add in some sort of hokey story and dialogue, paint freeman as a badass american hero and have him bang that chick. i won't have any of that shit. running a little late today, freeman? |

| _____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 11:40am - arilliusbm ""] why do we have to wear these ridiculous ties?? |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 11:44am - arilliusbm ""] halflife 1 didn't have that woman. But you're right, they'd have to write in a sub plot. I don't think a halflife movie needs a love story. take away the love story in apocalyto and you have a movie that's full of chase scenes. Halflfie was essentially a game about escaping black Mesa, then going to the alien planet to take the mother out. Fuck I wanna play it again. |

| _________________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 12:14pm - AndrewBastard ""] ZARDOZ is the best sci fi weirdo movie aside from the original SW trilogy. some notable non vintage sci fi that I love: Gattaca Event Horizon and the new Star Trek. |

The baby in the stomach looks better than today's cgi. dude you're killing me here. Total Recall doesn't cut it? are you watching the same movie i am? |

The escape from butcher bay/that remake that just came out is a killer underrated game. i am a huge fan of Pitch Black and Chronicles of Riddick. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 12:46pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] Despite being gateway animation and a condensed version of the graphic novel, Akira > [enter fail film here] |
| __________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 12:47pm - reimroc ""] *ahem* gateway animation done great. and i agree it was awesome. i own all the manga and i definitely would like to see a sequel some day. lord knows there is enough material for there to be a miniseries. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 12:54pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] It wasn't meant as a derogatory remark. It's the fact that Akira is one of the most familiar films in Japanese animation. The story was engaging and the visuals are frighteningly intense. So yes, it is that good. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 12:56pm - arilliusbm ""] I wish total recall went more into the aliens and their ruins. |
| _______________________________ [Jan 29,2010 12:57pm - Yeti ""] see i like how they didn't because it left the whole thing open, and didn't give a lame backstory, which most likely would have happened. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 12:58pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] early Paul Verhoeven + Michael Ironside + Arnold = [img] |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 1:03pm - arilliusbm ""] total recall did have some great ideas in the plot. It just didn't follow through that great. I own the movie and love it but it could have been better. it's backbone rings true to today's world though. An elite coporate dude that controls everything.. |
| ________________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 2:54pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] A Scanner Darkly was a more faithful rendition of the Phillip K. Dick source material than Total Recall, had cool animation, and Keanu Reeves. Automatic win. |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 2:56pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] :point: |
| ________________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 3:03pm - AndrewBastard ""] Arnold has a few awesome sci fi epics. The Terminator movies that dont suck. (ie 1+2) The Running Man Total Recall other awesome sci fi: Blade Runner 5th Element I wasnt too into a Scanner Darkly though I do love PKD. |
| ________________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 3:06pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] KEANU REEVES |

| ____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 3:17pm - arilliusbm ""] Alex Jones is in a Scanner Darkly. haha |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 3:19pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] Best scene. bennyhillifier |

| ____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 3:49pm - arilliusbm ""] What was that Arnold flick with "re-pet" ? |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 4:02pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] The Sixth day. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 4:07pm - arilliusbm ""] Ah, that one. I recall not liking it much. Only saw it once, though. Worth watching again? |
| ___________________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 4:08pm - MikeofdecrepitudE ""] No. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 4:13pm - arilliusbm ""] Enders Game is coming out this year. Interested in seeing that, although I don't like Orson Scott Card too much. I was hoping they'd make a Rendezvous with Rama movie but it fell through. Not sure why, that'd be a SICK movie. Geometric alien landscape in a giant ship ftw. |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 4:15pm - arilliusbm ""] Oh yea. The Sphere movie. Fucking blew ass. That book was one of Crichton's best, and the movie failed hard. Still can't believe he died. I heard there's a book he was working on before he died. Interested in seeing what it was. |
| ________________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 5:44pm - AndrewBastard ""] An Enders Game movie? Sick! |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 6:03pm - arilliusbm ""] Bah. Enders Game was scrapped too. Why scrap all these great sci fi themes and make shitty ass movies like d9? |
| ___________________________________ [Jan 29,2010 6:07pm - arktouros ""] I thought the Sphere movie was alright because I liked the actors...but the book was great. Speaking of Crichton, Jurassic Park was a good scifi book, the movie is...dino drama. Even better is the people who bought the book because of the movie and then said "shit, I can't read this at all" |
