I was first introduced to this movie in youtube form in the yospos sci fi thread After actually watching the movie I decided I liked Ma-Ma better than Dredd Not trying to make light of the fact that she has a dark past and she's passing it on to people There basically isn't a death scene better than this though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyjfNQ0lJn4

The new Dredd was really good Also I did see Bright, which is also hamfisted, but at least it wasnt 'what if aparthied was bad, but was neccessary to prevent the noble savage

As much as I love to bag on the way Costner's cameras just seem to looooove him I have a personal connection to that movie and have to admit, the one time I saw it it was better than I expected for "dirtworld" The parts without him are great! Also the concept about the mail reuniting people is good I think. I like David Brin's other books too.

A CRUNK BIRD posted:I’d probably recommend Star Wars The Last Jedi or Star Trek Beyond but I’m kind of a SyFy nerd so may not be for every one. On that note, incase anyone gave up on Star Trek after Into Darkness, Beyond's probably the best Star Trek movie in about 20 years.

Beat me to it. Very good, weird movie. Sound of My Voice with Brit Marling is good too, but it's kind of a drama with Sci-Fi elements. Good luck finding it.

I saw Cube in my home but also under the cannabis. Eventually I started renting Eraserhead from the indy VHS store and now I have no friends.

There's a good low budget sci-fi/drama on Amazon called Movement & Location about refugees from the future coming to live in our time.

World On A Wire is Rainer Werner Fassbinder's 3 and 1/2 hour new wave science fiction epic. The plot is very reminiscent of Philip K Dick's Gnostic 60s and 70s novels. It's like The Matrix for adults.

I didn't hate it, but Interstellar is really inconsistent in tone and realism. Sometimes it acts like it's highbrow and realistic and sometimes its a space adventure with wise-cracking robots. Early on there's a rocket launch with footage from a camera mounted on the side just like something you'd see on TV, and it's all a big secret because the public would be outraged at the waste of valuable resources... but they have a star trek shuttle that can take off from planets with heavier gravity than Earth. They also do so little to explore how society on Earth is coping with the planet's imminent death, which I thought was a wasted opportunity.

if they spent any more time on earth the world would probably fall apart. crops failing for "some reason" is kind of a dumb idea and a lot of the tech invented for the space program (especially automation) could be used to increase crop yields or land use. Also self contained farms (on land, in space, or under sea) would probably help significantly. so im fine with staying out of that minefield the real problem is the decisions around who they sent, what they sent, and how they picked the planets to visit was all really really dumb. Why did you not send robots to these planets in the initial scouting? Why did you not send robots to the planets after arriving with the larger ship? Why did you check the time-warp water-world next to the black hole first instead of the terrestrial, earth-like world? I enjoyed it for the great visuals and some specific scenes but some of it is just kind of dumb and that's fine. I don't think anyone hates it I think they're just disappointed it wasn't better. altho maybe theres some Nolan hate for the sake of hating Nolan but I think that's a minority.

I also felt Interstaller was meant to be a very personal movie... so of course it was more focussed on McConaughy and his family and the power of love as opposed to earth at large. It's his story not the story of humankind.

interstellar isn't a bad movie but they billed it as ULTRA SCIENCE REALISM only to make something that's closer to star trek than space odyssey. Anyway I like it but it's one of Nolan's shittiest movies

What streaming services have the best selection of quality sci-fi films along the lines of what is being discussed in this thread? Any niche services that specialize in this sort of stuff? I have Netflix, Hulu, and Prime and I always feel like the selection of sci-fi is usually a few decent popcorn flicks, the expected space operas, and a whole bunch of unwatchable direct-to-DVD vomit.
