What movies would you recommend for this list?
-
It’s a damn shame we’ll never get a sequel to Dredd.
-
Idiocracy is looking like a documentary every day in the US...
-
Starship Troopers killed it upon its video/dvd/blue ray releases.
-
Children of Men is worth the watch for the scale and cinematography alone.
-
Dredd kicks ass in 3D.
-
How was "Equilibrium" not on this list? One of my favorite Sci-Fi future films. And it has Christian Bale!
-
Tron and Blade Runner are two of my favourite films.
-
i remember when starship troopers was being advertised. it looked incredible. but the ad was done to blurs song 2, which never appeared in the movie, which caused a lot of negative publicity that the movie wasnt what it was advertised to be. but i saw it at the cinemas and have been a fan ever since.
-
Most of all of them are classic greats
-
They may not have done well at the box office by those who seem what “box office success” is, but each of these sci-fi movies are classics! Starship Troopers, Blade Runner, Dark City, The Abyss, Tron, and all the others. 👏🏽
-
All I can say of one movie off this list is "That bear!". Unforgettable.
-
Dark City 👍🙂👍
-
Decent mentions also include: Europa Report (2013) The Last Days on Mars (2013) Impostor (2001) Pandorum (2009) Prospect (2018) Alien raiders (2008) World Invation battle los angeles (2011)

I loved Strange Days since I worked at a theater showing it in 1995. And I loved Dark City even more, especially the Director's Cut, which I highly recommend for first time watchers.
-
Blade runner was amazing
-
I'm happy to say I did see a number of these at the theater: Starship Troopers, Idiocracy, Sunshine, Dark City, The Thing, The Abyss, and Blade Runner. Not my fault they flopped! The others I've seen and enjoyed, except for Annihilation, which is very high on my "need to see" list.
-
This is why 'dumb' movies make so much money, they appeal broadly. Works of cinematic art bore the mainstream but appeal critically. I guess it's tough to be in the movie production business.
-
Starship Troopers is an over-the-top satire, but few of the reviewers at the time realized this.
-
Loved almost every one of these. Saw none of them at the theater.
