CycleChat Investigates - SciFi

eXistenZ is fantastic, I'm well overdue a rewatch on that.



12 Monkeys is a film that gets better the more you watch it, same with Cube.

The film that it's based on la jetee is very weird though french existential at its best.

Fahrenheit 451
Her
Akira
Dredd

Under the Skin....racking my brain trying to think of Sci Fi films I liked.Love this in a creepy way.

I'm terribly uncultured when it comes to cinema. I've definitely seen 4 of those, probably seen 2, but I'm not sure, I've heard of 3 of them but don't know what they are about, and never heard of 1.

Akira
Dredd

Akira is a spectacle and a half alright.

Just looked it up and yes it seems very weird, only <30mins long though so I thin I'll try it

Akira is a spectacle and a half alright.

In early 90s Channel 4 had a 'Manga Season' where they showed this, Ghost In the Shell, Legend of the 4 Kings and some others. Blew me away at the time.

My favourite is Blade Runner but I might vote for Silent Running as that's not there.

Dredd (the Karl Urban one) is worth a watch, as is Moon with Sam Rockwell.

I've seen and enjoyed most of the films mentioned so far, but particularly like time travel plots. 12 Monkeys, Looper, Primer, Interstellar and..... Save the weirdest 'til last: Predestination.

eXistenZ is brilliant

How about Dark City? Similar in many ways to the Matrix and arguably better, enjoyable though the Matrix may be

Great shout.

I think eXistenZ went a bit under the radar because it came out in the same year as The Matrix which everyone lost their minds for.

I must be on my own with existenz... is that the one where they're testing a new virtual reality video game at the beginning?

 

[Threevok]

No Plan 9 from Outer Space ?????

 

[AndyRM]

Loving the suggestions on this thread by the way, nice one @Drago

Another few - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Hardcore Henry, The Fountain, A Scanner Darkly, Space Between Us and Oxygene.

That's the one. Not for everyone, but it's definitely a favourite of mine.

That's the one. And you're often not quite sure whether you're in the game or the game within a game, or even ostensibly reality.
