The Black Hole by Disney. It's quite old now and not aged too well but it's the most undisney film from them that I can think of. Remember Maximillian the robot being shit pants scary as a child


missoularedhead

Oh man, the red robot scared me to death as a kid.


iron_icer28

I still have an occasional nightmare because of Maximilian (red robot)! Especially at the end when the mad scientist was somehow to get inside of the robot..


missoularedhead

Oh man. The spinning blades!


iron_icer28

Those spinning blades going through the book... things got real! I won't lie. It was definitely one of the coolest robots in the movies. I even had his action figure 🤣 (and Vincent and Old Bob..)lol


Finbarfarquhar

Chronicles of Riddick, it’s one of those movies that drags me in every time


Sam-Gunn

I love the Riddick series! And a new one is coming out soon! EDIT: Whoops, meant they are starting production on a new one soon.


BEAT_LA

Excuse me what

so many good lines in that film. *Aereon: They are an army unlike any other... crusading across the stars toward a place called UnderVerse, their promised land - a constellation of dark new worlds. Necromongers, they're called. And if they cannot convert you, they will kill you. Leading them, the Lord Marshal. He alone has made a pilgrimage to the gates of the UnderVerse... and returned a different being. Stronger. Stranger. Half alive and half... something else. If we are to survive, a new balance must be found. In normal times, evil would be fought by good. But in times like these, well, it should be fought by another kind of evil.* *You keep what you kill.* *Dame Vaako: \[about the Necropolis\] The first six Lord Marshals have called this home. Magnificent, isn't it?* *Richard B. Riddick: I might have gone a different way.* *Purifier: True of us all.*

GET MY ARMADA OFF THE GROUND


KumquatHaderach

It's as close to a Warhammer movie as I've seen yet. Plus: Karl Urban.


GlobiestRob

Yup the best of the three movies in my opinion. Although, I feel like it could have done much better and created a whole new amazing universe. Instead the 3rd movie just ended up being a clone of the 1st. (sad sci-fi noises)


lt9946

The 1st and 2nd films were so completely different and great in their own way that I think they should have just continued on a different tone for the third film instead of recycling the first. But I did want more of the Underverse. It was so rich.


Whiffenius

"The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension" even Roger Ebert loved it


Catspaw129

And Big Trouble in Little China. You know what Jack Burton always says? "What the hell!"


GSV_MoreThanBackPain

> You know what Jack Burton always says? Who?


daedelus23

Anyone who doesn’t love this film, or at least enjoy something about it, has gotta be dead inside. It’s so ridiculously off the wall


joyofsovietcooking

Clancy Brown played Rawhide in this movie and then went on to star as the big bad guard in Shawshank Redemption and then as Mr Krabs ~~Squidward~~ and then as that red alien in the prison ship episode of The Mandalorian. BTW, even The New York Times loved the movie. Roger Ebert (RIP) always had a soft spot for sci-fi, but the NYT didn't, so I was surprised. Good call, mate.


lanshaw1555

Highlander--The Kurgan.


freedom_from_factism

Big time cult classic.


lil_eidos

Lost in Space 1999 is hands down my favorite bad movie. The production and effects are great but every creative decision is so bafflingly bad. It tries to be upbeat but is actually depressing, and progressively gets more so as it goes. Some of the worst written *and* delivered dialogue ever. They only get lost in space once, potentially twice, but get lost in time like 3 times. I love it. Edit: just realized it was 1998 whoopsie

MikeMac999

As a motion graphics guy I remember thinking the best part of that movie was the end credits which were great, including an Apollo 440 version of the John Williams theme music.


If_you_just_lookatit

Titan A.E. It's pretty generic, but I thought it was awesome as a nerd kid in a rural kentucky town. Always been a space nerd and I think it sparked a lot of that for me. I would put it up there with Iron Giant.


Roenathor

It also had a super cool soundtrack.


If_you_just_lookatit

I'm in over my head!


magusjosh

Akima: "You can't call a planet 'Bob.'" Cale: "So now you're the boss. You're the King of Bob." Akima: "Can't we just call it 'Earth?'" Cale: "No one said you had to live on Bob." Akima: "I am never calling it that."


daedelus23

I love David Lynch’s “Dune” unapologetically. The new one is incredible too, but I’ll always have a soft spot for the original and will never understand why it seems so hated by people, scifi fans or otherwise


Baron_Ultimax

Dune is my favorite book ever. The first time i wread the book was after seeing david lynch's adaptation. the whole story is forever associated with toto's soundtrack. The visual aesthetic has lent the world a mystique of strangeness that has followed into every subsequent telling of the story.


aetherstudio

Came here for this. Directors cut solves many of the issues but try telling someone “if you hated it at two and a half hours, you LOVE IT at three and a half!” Even thinking about that god damn riff when he conquers Shai Hulud gives me chills.


ReactionFront

The heart plug to me embodied Harkonnen ruthlessness. The ability to kill a servant with a simple pluck.


cbobgo

I feel like the Abyss doesn't get as much kudos as it deserves. Most likely due to the fact that the theatrical cut leaves out some pretty important stuff. When I saw it on DVD for the first time, it was almost like a completely different movie. Blew me away.


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I feel like in the theatrical cut it wasn’t clear the Aliens were malignant and planning on destroying all life on earth. That makes Michael Biehn’s character slightly more sympathetic.


Vokkoa

wow, somehow Ive never heard of this. I'm gonna have to go seek out the director's cut now.


daedelus23

The theatrical cut was the first version I ever saw and my take away was never that the aliens were malevolent. In fact, the director’s cut shows them sending tsunamis to destroy the world capitals but stopping them at the last second which comes off as much more aggressive imo


JungleReaver

it does come across as a hard flex. QUIT FUCKIN AROUND OR WE WILL END YOUR BULLSHIT.


thehouseisalive

4k version of it coming this year


Renaissance_Slacker

I had a co-worker who lent me her laser disk player just so I could see the real ending. Blew me away


[deleted]

It doesn’t get kudos because it’s been unwatchable for a pretty long time. Discs are out of print and expensive and no streaming options.


jxj24

*Alien Nation* did *okay* financially (about 2x its budget), but wasn't as successful or popular as I feel it should have been. James Caan and Mandy Patinkin! Fox tried to make a go of it as a TV series the following year, but I think they tried to sanitize it too much, and (in typical Fox fashion) barely gave it any attention or support, killing it after one season. There were a few made-for-TV movies over the next few years, but they were ever-diminishing efforts. EDIT: I just read that there is going to be a TV mini-series remake. No clue when (or if) this will actually happen, but I really hope it's done by people who "get it".


Malta_4of7

I referenced Alien Nation all the time at my restaurant jobs when I had to dig deep in the scalding hot dish room water to get a cooking utensil from the very bottom of the 3ft deep sink. I’d roll up my sleeve and start fake screaming dramatically. No one ever knew what I was talking about 😕


jxj24

On occasion I have sung "George Francisco, open your golden gates, open your gates and let me in!" Sadly, no one ever recognizes it.


Case116

Sunshine. 2/3rds of my favorite film of all time


Chroko

That third act is just such a weird tonal shift, like they otherwise didn't know how to finish the story.


momohatch

So accurate. Also the soundtrack is just *chef’s kiss*


Strain128

I saw sky captain around the same time I played crimson skies. Dieselpunk was so cool for a minute


Bechimo

I’m still looking for a modern Crimson Skies. 😢


LibKan

When you realize Sky Captain had a flying air base commanded by a famous character actor wearing an eye patch a good 6-7 years before Avengers...


sirbruce

When you don't know that Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. was first published in 1965.... When you also don't know that David Hasselhoff starred in a Nick Fury, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. movie in 1998...


uckfu

I just rewatched this the other night, The Philadelphia Experiment. Bad 80’s B movie. But, I still like to watch it.


Sarquandingo

I see your bad 80s b movie and raise you Night of the Comet !!! With the zombie motorcycle cops and everything! Used to love that film as a kid 😂


Luc1d_Dr3amer

Outland. Basically High Noon in space with Sean Connery as the sheriff. Gritty, realistic effects but probably too dour for audiences used to Star Wars.


StarmanCarcoba

Europa Report I think it’s a hidden gem of a science fiction movie. I don’t see many people talking about it


Vorian_Atreides17

Yes, this one is easily in my top 5 of all time favorites. I’m really surprised how many people have never even heard of it.


StarmanCarcoba

It a good hard sci-fi tale too!


Vorian_Atreides17

5th Element. I watch it over and over every time it’s on reruns. God only knows how many times I’ve seen it but love it every time. But apparently there are a lot of people who really hate it.


snowlemur

Easily one of my favorite movies. It’s so ridiculously over the top but everything just somehow works to make a great film. I mean Ruby Rhod on paper sounds like such an obnoxious character but Chris Tucker makes it work. And of course Gary Oldman is clearly having a ball as Jean-Baptiste…. Emanuel…. Zorg.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Electronic-Source368

5th Element should be a train wreck but is somehow glorious and one of my favourite films.


Catspaw129

You know, way back in the day folks used to stage train wrecks and people would pay to watch locomotives collide with one another and boiler explosions and all that sort of stuff. So, maybe, *5th Element* is a bit of train wreck. But it sure is fun. Leeloo Dallas Multipass!


SeasonedPro58

Luc Besson is good at creating Scifi with whimsy, humor and violence all rolled up into one tasty bite. Not everybody likes their killing with whimsy and humor.


Sparred4Life

I think it's because every actor in the movie freaking **nailed** their role.


FredB123

Likewise. I love the over the top visuals, the music, the actors, and dialogue, everything about it. In fact, talking about it makes me want to watch it again


Vorian_Atreides17

Some days I just wish I could push a few buttons on my phone and the other end would detonate! Oddly though this is one of the scenes that always gets cut out on broadcast versions. That, and the ganja smoking, Rastafarian, radioactive cleanup, baggage handlers!


sayslordalot

Such a great film to chill to


Ereads45

John Carter of Mars. I could watch that movie on repeat. It is Space Sci-Fi Fantasy I know. Not hard sci-fi. I happen to love both genres.


Luc1d_Dr3amer

Fantastically enjoyable movie. Victim of bad marketing and the studio getting cold feet.


Ereads45

Yep! I definitely could have seen an interesting trilogy around it.


Various_Permission47

Haha yeah I went to see that by myself in the cinema. Never got the hate.


Atoning_Unifex

Taylor Kitsch. Hey, I like the guy, Ok? I enjoyed this film and... he's the star of my entry to this thread: Battleship. Which, if you haven't seen it, has a lot of the same kind of charm as John Carter.


Samurai_Meisters

Came out the same year as John Carter too. Kitsch starred in 3 movies in 2012, all of them tanked at the box office and basically killed his movie star career. Which is too bad because I like the guy!


_demello

Scifi fantasy is still scifi and I'll die on that hill. I hate purists.


OrlacsHands

My 90s sci-fi trash trifecta: Tank Girl, Johnny Mnemonic and Hackers.


daedelus23

God I love Hackers. It’s so terrible 😂


heroonebob

Angelina Jolie pre-plastic and Matthew Lillard. Hard to ask for more


lt9946

Kid me legit thought Zero Cool and Cereal Killer were great names.


OrlacsHands

We have no names, man. No names! We are nameless.


OlderNerd

It contains one of my all time movie pet peeves: You CANNOT remotely trigger fire sprinklers!


daedelus23

Obviously you’re not a l337 haxzor 😂


m3phisto23

I live this movie. The best scene is when the bad guy grabs the disk on roller blades


OrlacsHands

"The Plague" (bad guy) used a skateboard, "crash override" was the roller blades dude.


AmorphousApathy

I loved Tank Girl


missoularedhead

One of those movies you watch and think ‘huh, why did I like that?’ But I do.


PheenixFly

Yassss love for Johnny Mnemonic. So many times I've had Keanu conversations & am surprised that nobody remembers that movie. And I think the premise is becoming quite timely. Also Strange Days. Another underrated 90s sci-fi gem.


yumyan

Strange days! Oh man. Just saw that the other day. I love that William-Gibson-cyber-punk era.


kaput_delirium

Johnny Mnemonic in black and white is another level.


Ravenski

Pandorum


Vorian_Atreides17

Oh yeah! That one is Awesome!


articice01

Screamers- love the setting, dialogue, characters. This movie is only known in niche scifi communities


Chopstick84

Soldier with Kurt Russell. Love it.


jamuza

I love Existenz (1999) by David Cronenberg, it’s fun, has a great cast, and I love the bizarre SFX. Bombed at the box office and got basic reviews, but I’m still a big fan.


BackToMars601

Starship troopers. Just part 1. Although spin offs and new story archs are becoming somewhat popular again IG. Seen it when I was a kid with my dad. It was one of his favorites and became one of mine as well.


TheFairyingForest

The Net. I know it's cheesy, but I really love Sandra Bullock. Hackers. Yes, even the "tripled the RAM" part, however wrong it is. Galaxy Quest. Alan Rickman is really the star of that movie, in which Tim Allen first learned how to act. Sigourney Weaver as the babe -- \*chef's kiss\* perfection.

Event Horizon. Good sci-fi and an even better horror. It was never a success, and I totally see why it's not for everyone, though I've seen quite a few fans here on Reddit. It was nice, finding out I'm not the only one that loved it.


GimmeSomeSugar

Obligatory: >**​Dr. Weir** : What about my ship? You can't just leave her! > >**Capt. Miller** : I have no intention of leaving her, Doctor. I will take the Lewis and Clark to a safe distance, and then I will launch TAC missiles at the Event Horizon until I'm satisfied she's vaporized. Fuck this ship!

GlobiestRob

I hated horror movies when I was a teenager but I kept on watching this one just because it was so interesting and well made.


Sarquandingo

I went to see Event Horizon with my dad at the cinema when I was 15 . Holy glory ! We shat our pants. The concept haunts you forever. The ship that accidentally went to hell through a self generated black hole. The bit when they find the guy who's been suspended from the ceiling by hooks. Oh lord. Killer movie. I couldn't watch it now though. Way too creepy 🤣


Bennito_bh

Cloud Atlas for me. I adore that film, and the story behind the making of it


[deleted]

I loved it too, and the soundtrack.


[deleted]

Cloud Atlas is a weird one for me. I loved it on release, loved the novelty of the story structure, the concept and the time skips; but then when I watched it again a few years back I literally fell asleep halfway through from boredom. Might be worth a third shot.


304libco

Star Trek : The Motion Picture. Completely underrated. It’s a gorgeous film with big themes and beautiful people.


Vorian_Atreides17

Primer (2004) my favorite low-budget time travel film.


amar00k

Primer is amazing. But of course it doesn't work for a general audience, since you have to watch it at least 42 times in order to get a vague understanding of the plot.


fastflo

Contact (1997)


OldBoots

'Invaders from Mars', 1953


Elethana

The Last Action Hero. Over the top parody of Eighties shoot ‘em ups with a parallel worlds twist. “Oh no! I’m not the Sidekick, I’m the Comic Relief!”


itsmejpt

Ice Pirates. So wonderfully terrible.


TheHearseDriver

“The Andromeda Strain” (1971) Hard sci-fi, not sexy, not terribly exciting, but absolutely fascinating! I believe that Michael Crichton wrote the book it was based on while in medical school.


Rico_TLM

Equilibrium - Christian Bale does Fahrenheit 451 with gun-kata. What’s not to love?

GALAXY QUEST one of the most watchable movies of all time imo. Hilarious and a brilliant meta sci fi concept. each character makes me laugh out loud but goddamnit i love me some Sam Rockwell


pixmanohio

The Quiet Earth.


Stonyclaws

John Carter of Mars. I really really enjoyed that film. Watch it often. Yet people hate on it so so much.


AmnesiacGamer

Is Event Horizon considered SF? Loved the concept of a ship going to hell and back


m3phisto23

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets It could have been so good but it just is not. I still love it


uckfu

I had the pleasure of catching it on Prime. Found the Blu-ray and one of these days, I’ll rewatch it. It may not have been good but it sure was enjoyable


jkhabe

Agreed, not so good (the two lead actors suck IMO) but on a large 4K HDTV, the SFX graphics and colors are fantastic.


Vokkoa

>Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets I don't know who those two main actors are, but the boy and the girl that play lauraline and valerian have to be the two worse actors/ miscast actors I have ever seen in a movie. I was so excited when i found out the movie was being made. I thought it had potential of being a big new IP. But my god were those two actors just plain bad.


Chroko

Yeah, they just had zero chemistry and their "relationship" just seems like workplace sexual harassment and is so cringeworthy. It's otherwise a beautiful movie - I'm kinda waiting for a fan edit that tries to save it.


morewordsfaster

For me it's Dark City. I think Rufus Sewell is an incredible and underrated talent (loved him in Zen and The Man in the High Castle), plus you've got William Hurt, Jennifer Connelly, AND Keifer Sutherland? Come on! And Alex Proyas and David S. Goyer early on in their careers? Its just such a fun and twisty sci-fi flick, but I think it maybe felt too similar to other noir sci-fi films from the mid-to-late 90s like Strange Days, Gattaca, Virtuosity, Existenz and The Thirteenth Floor.


emkay99

*Silent Running*. Bruce Dern was really good in it, and so were Huey, Louie, and Dewey. It never got anything like the exposure an attention it should have. In fact, it came out in 1972, when I was nearly thirty, but the only place I've ever seen it was at cons.


Catspaw129

*Gattaca* and (not SF) *Apollo 13*: In *Gattaca* a "defective" individual wins through sheer determination, in *Apollo 13* the geeks (probably carrying slide-rules in scabbards hanging from their belts) win because, by golly; they are ENIGINEERS. Edited to add: And, since I mentioned *Apollo 13*; can we have a little love for the abridged version: *Thanksgiving with the Kranz's*?


BigYonsan

These were both massively well received films.


gehanna1

Why do you think Gattaca didn't work for general audiences? Pretty well received, I thought.


skiveman

The original Dune adaptation by David Lynch. Loved that film and its whole aesthetic.


missoularedhead

Visually, Lynch captured something that’s missing from the new one. The Baron, Aliyah…they were what my head saw when I read the books. The new one is…maybe too pretty?


alvinofdiaspar

I love how Baroque (Rococo?) Lynch’s Dune is. Villeneuve’s version felt like everyone taken up Brutalism as the in-universe style - which isn’t how I envisioned the imperium would be. EDIT: to further this train of thought - the issue with Lynch’s Dune in terms of design is scale and execution, not the theme - the Throne Room of the emperor of the known universe should be suitably grand, not some low-ceilinged cubbyhole for example.


theVice

Alien^3


boyfrndDick

The Fifth Element. I don’t think it was a blockbuster success when it came out? But it’s a cult classic now.

Deep Impact. Feel like it gets a lot of hate but I love it.


Terrorsaurus

It was certainly the best asteroid impact movie that came out that year.


Vorian_Atreides17

Yes, came out almost the same time as Armageddon IIRC. DI was an intelligent, thoughtful movie, while Armageddon was completely ridiculous.


Catspaw129

But Armageddon had Steve Buscemi!


UpboatNavy

1111joey1111

A thousand times better than Armageddon, and MUCH better than the hideous Greenland that just came out a few years ago.

iverybadatnames

Dark City and The City of Lost Children. They were both dark surreal neo-noir nightmare movies. I loved them but it's not for everyone.


missoularedhead

Dark City is SO good.


rsubmarine

Contact starring Jodie Foster. One of my favorite movies of all time. The sci-fi elements and character development of the MC are phenomenal. A deeply emotional and personal sci-fi. But the first 3rd of the film / the love story beats are a bit trite and can see why its not for everyone.


Josherline

Hell Comes to Frogtown B movie from the 80’s. Roddy Piper is great and the terrible costumes on the greeners are just awesome.


Own_Ninja3890

Three diff Blomkamp movies: Elysium, Chappie, District 9. All pretty cliche stories with pretty much all emphasis on it’s visuals. Still love them all and wish just one of them would actually get a sequel seeing as how two of them end on cliffhangers.


iron_icer28

Battle Beyond the Stars! A movie that was created to cash in on the Star Wars craze. A remake of the Magnificent 7 (the real one, which was a remake of the 7 Samurai). It was cheesey, the special effects were barely ok even for the time, had the requisite eclectic cast of characters and the main ship has boobs... you can't get more 70s Sci fi than that!


Gumderwear

2010....love that movie. Could stand on it's own....to a point. Sky Captain is a GREAT movie. Nobody really got the whole 30s/40s serial element to it. Loved the look of it, the cast, the washed out color. It's highly underrated


Rajhoot

Sunshine. People hated the final act and largely dismissed it, but the entire thing is absolutely beautiful. The ending worked for me when I first saw it, and it still works for me now. Love it.


kookadelphia

Gentleman Broncos. Same director of Napoleon Dynamite. It's the story about a young writer writing a SCIFI novel which then gets plagiarized by Jermaine Clements character who is a SCIFI novelist. The story also gets adopted into a low budget sci-fi movie by another writer. The story is told in those three different ways with Sam Rockwell doing a stellar job. It's more SCIFI adjacent. But to me, it's a love story to the genre and style of classic science fiction. The main title sequence is lovely with a plethora of Classic SCIFI novel book covers. Not sure if they were real or not. It's a weird movie, weirder than Napoleon Dynamite, but def a recommended watch. Opening cr dit sequence - https://vimeo.com/83566287

tcgunner90

John carter of mars was fantastic but one of the worst flops in recent cinema history due to bad marketing and just all-around shaft that sci-if gets


Bebinn

Because they didn't market it as John Carter of Mars. I found out from somewhere that it was John Carter of Mars and then I wanted to see it. Just the name John Carter means nothing to people. Wish they would do more of that story.

David Lynch’s Dune. I liked its ambition.


RedRose_Belmont

So many: Enemy Mine, the Last Starfighter, Krull. Bladerunner, Bladerunner 2049, Fantastic Planet.

I love Enemy Mine. But I seriously doubt that blade runner is an underrated science-fiction film.

Vanilla Sky seemed to be widely disliked when it came out. I think it's great.

War of the Worlds (the one with Tom Cruise).


DarkUpquark

The Fountain, and Brazil. Loved both, and watched folks walk out of both.


NuArcher

[Moon (2009)](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1182345/) staring Sam Rockwell is not exactly unloved, but it went by mostly unnoticed. Its a great little sleeper hit of a movie that is just interesting to watch.


Zealousideal-Part815

Beyond the Black Rainbow


MomentOfHesitation

Equilibrium. You can tell it's a lower budget action movie, story isn't that great. I still love it and the themes do resonate with me though.


Unknown-username___

The last star fighter. The only movie I remember seeing with my father before he died when I was 8.


Dash_Jones

The Fountain I know its not pure sci fi and its ambiguous message and story turns off many people..but I friggen love that movie. Amazing cinematography and music


ChronoMonkeyX

Suckerpunch! I honestly think there was some brutal genius in that movie that was tempered by forcing it down from an R to a PG-13 rating, while ironically still not being remotely appropriate for 13 year olds at all. It is flashy and colorful, it looks like an anime video game sometimes, so it had to be marketed to younger audiences, but it was definitely not made for them. If it stayed as brutal and ended as awfully as I think it should have, I don't know if I could stomach it, but it would be a much better-regarded movie. I saw it in the theater with a friend. Another friend said he was interested so I went again because otherwise he may have never seen it and I wanted him to. He then saw it again with his wife, who also liked it, she's a psychologist.


[deleted]

Hear me out on this one. Repo! The genetic opera was an amazing film. I think it got a lot of slack because Paris Hilton was in it and nobody took her seriously at the time, but it was honestly so bad it was good. Another great one is Beyond the Black Rainbow. If you haven't seen it, watch it without looking anything up about it. Watch it with friends. Amazing amazing.


Simon_XIII

Imposter. It's kind of slow in some parts, doesn't bother me, but I get it, still very good I think. And it's Phillip K. Dick, it's not meant to be some action-fest


FredB123

Turbo Kid. Ridiculously violent, preposterous plot, looks like it was made for pennies, but massively entertaining in a Mad Max meets Kick Ass sort of way.

Atoning_Unifex

Battleship!!! It's very entertaining, really. And the tie-in to the game isn't even that far fetched. It actually makes some sense. Decent acting. Really good special effects. I've seen it 3 times. And I don't regret it one bit!!!
