What is your favorite all time Science Fiction movie?

[pixie374]

Sounds likely:-)

[jno]

is there much science in Blade Runner? Replicant technology maybe

[Mozz71]

That looks really good Sunk, I don't have HBO Max though I'm afraid. I have Disney+ and Netflix. Not paying for any more streaming services!

[Sunk]

Apple are currently making a series based on Asimov’s ‘Foundation’ books. Should be out early next year.

[Mozz71]

Jno, there's plenty of fictional science in Blade Runner. Star Wars, not so much. It's more magic than science.

[Sunk]

Mozz,
HBO content usually ends up on SKY Atlantic/NowTV for its UK distribution.

[Mozz71]

Fingers crossed then Sunk. I'm looking forward to Brave New World later this week. Fantastic book.

[ToraToraTora]

plenty of sci fi in Star Wars, tractor beams, blasters, light sabre, hundreds of space ships, droids, the death star, and of course, >c travel.

I don't know, Mozz, things like Voight-Kampff machines sound pretty much like magic to me. You need to move the plot forward so you invent something that does it.

The Martian looked good for proper science.

[ToraToraTora]

I have too many favourites to pick one: Alien, Aliens, Terminator 1 + 2, star trek (2009), star trek (wrath of Khan), Blade runner (original), Metropolis, Forbidden Planet, Starship Troopers, Independence day, Silent running....and many more.

Mozz,

Did you watch ‘The Mandalorian’ ?
I thought it was excellent.

They have just dropped Series 2 trailer.

[Arrods]

Yes Mozz - you've reminded me about Leslie Nielsen.

And Pixie, I also saw Return to the Forbidden Planet, a couple of times. Great music.

It's a funny genre, I like the 'hard science fiction' where they try to imagine future technologies. I agree that 'spaceships' etc. don't necessarily mean science!

My favourites in no particular order: The Matrix, Interstellar, Sunshine, Westworld (Series), 12 Monkeys, Moon - but my top is Bladerunner (the original) - it's got it all in my opinion!

[archibaldy]

Ha ha TTT - Starship Troopers I'd forgotten about that one, a great fun watch.

[mushroom25]

probably "The Day The Earth Stood Still" - the 1950s version with Michael Rennie, not the Keanu Reeves fake version....

[bednobs]

^^^ also made famous by rocky horror!

[Mozz71]

Sunk, yeah, Mando was fantastic. Looking forward to season two, but really hoping all the rumoured character guest slots do not take away from the centeral two characters.

[Sunk]

I think Star Wars is sci fi fantasy, so in that case the original trilogy would be my favourites. The latter ones are a bit meh...

[Mozz71]

Sunk, I have to disagree with you about Blade Runner 2049. I thought it was great, and a worthy sequel to the original.
