Have you seen Pandorum? It's the only sci-fi movie I can think of that is non-mainstream, most people haven't heard of, but is really worth a watch.

The trailer makes it out to be a psychological thriller, but that's only 50% of the story. The rest is dedicated to some properly brutal mutated humanoid spine eaters. :D

[yorkie_chris]

Event Horizon?

[Tom_the_great]

Star wars :)

[maviczap]

Star wars :)

Always the first choice :cheers:

[Terah]

Starship Troopers

[RACEFIT_GLADDY]

If you want some longevity, the stargate franchise is fantastic, but its a good 4 months to watch..

[The Idle Biker]

Event Horizon?

Good choice, I loved this film. Maybe not enough blood and splatter for DP but I thought it was great. Creepy, eerie and tense.

[Specialone]

Starship Troopers

Agreed, it's the only choice and there's boobies in it :)

[Kilted Ginger]

Could always go classic, quatermass, 1984, I like equlibrium and Brazil (both adaptations of 1984 concept) The last battle (slow and pedantic but draws you in) Hanger 18 (more conspiracy theory than scifi) Darkstar (John Carpenter)

[Kilted Ginger]

If we're talking films (sorry for the derail) Could someone please explain Revolver.
I get that Jake greens enemy is his own ego and that his (and macha's) ego is personified by Mr Gold.
How many of the characters are real and how many are imagined? Its been suggested to that the loan sharks dont exist and are components from his imagination created in prison to maintain his sanity.

On a base level, green realisies his only enemy is his own ego and becomes enlightened, macha cant get to this point so kills himself, but this cant be it, is it?

[Geodude]

The thing John carpenter one
Blade runner is a must
Evil aliens is not that well known but fun

KG i did not understand revolver either..

[Runako]

Interesting topic. Here are some I watched and recommend:

Pitch Black - Vin Deisel: Dangerous Prisoner with shined eyeballs to see in the dark crash lands unto a seemingly uninhabited planet ... or is it?

Ganz - Japanese Sci-fi can be cool. People about to die in tragic accidents are transported to a nondescript room by a large, mysterious black sphere and given orders to take out aliens.

Splice - Here's something a bit different ... and a little uncomfortable. Any synopsis would not do justice so try it and see if you like it.

Correct!

[Bri w]

I like the Riddick ones.

But an absolute must for one with a sensitive nature like Dave's, Galaxy Quest...

[Small Clanger]

Silent Running.

[davepreston]

Have you seen Pandorum?
yep quite liked it myself

Event Horizon?
again seen but a bit too lack luster atm

Star wars :)
silence

Starship Troopers
yep all three of them

If you want some longevity, the stargate franchise is fantastic, but its a good 4 months to watch..
done also all of bablyon 5 ,star trek, battle star , etc

I like equlibrium and Brazil
yes great movies will look at your other suggestions



Pitch Black - Vin Deisel:

Splice - .
pb and riddick are mint, splice not so much

Silent Running.
will have a butchers


come on people more lots more, i want starship fights and guts and glory

think space above and beyond (i know it was a series) meets the last star fighter

[maviczap]

Dark Star - comedy Sci Fi

[m1tch_1987]

What about Sunshine?

[Geodude]

The thing John carpenter one
Blade runner is a must
Evil aliens is not that well known but fun
So none of the above any good DP? Ok how about battle beyond the stars?

[xXBADGERXx]

On your sites Dave , those streamy type ones , see if you can get "John Carter" , it`s shaping up to be a bit of an epic mate

[andrewsmith]

Marvin the Martian

[STRAMASHER]

Event Horizon and Sunshine done so.....

Moon.

Monsters. Although "the making of " is essential viewing too.

Or make yer own.....

Serendipity
any Alien (1-4 but NOT, I repeat NOT AvP films which are tacky, cheap mash-ups)
Agree with Pitch Black - forgotten how good that was
Evolution is quite funny

edit - erm as slark01 says, Serenity. Not what I put because I wasn't concentrating!

[slark01]

Serenity
Titan A.E.
Wing Commander
Star Trek ( 2009 )


Ste.

[Runako]

Dead Space might fit the bill

[tactcom7]

Spaceballs. Job done.

[BigBaddad]

On a slightly different note, how about some of the classic series lije Space 1999, Buck Rogers in the 21st Century or the original Battlestar Gallactica.

Should be available on DVD I'm sure.

Biddle biddle biddle, ok Buck.

Babylon 5, Space:Above & Beyond, or go way, way back and look at Flash Gordon or the original Buck Rogers complete with spaceships on string and cliffhanger endings every time

[skeetly]

A boy and his dog ;)
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072730/

Starring a very young Don Johnson by the way :)

[Venom]

Not full of violence and spaceships but Gattaca? Rollerball was pretty violent, the original. Fifth Element just for Milla

Serendipity

:lol: Watched that (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0240890/) ages ago, don't think it's Dave's type of film.

Space above and beyond was a great war series, shame it got cancelled before the first season ended. The finale was written because they knew it wasn't coming back but still left enough to work with if it got a second run.

[Kilted Ginger]

Farscape

[Richie]

Never ending Story....
propper **** myself... Big flying dogs! WTF.....

[slark01]

Battle beyond the stars. George peppard and the actor who was John boy from the Waltons stars in it.

And Robert Vaughan

[Venom]

Thought of a couple films

Babylon 5: In the Beginning
Battle Los Angeles

[xXBADGERXx]

The Last Starfighter

[BanannaMan]

Galaxy Quest

[stewie]

Silent Running.
Death, service droids and gardening what more could you want ? ;)

another vote for starship troopers, dont know if fits the bill but what about 'Solaris' ?

[stewie]

Or you could always wait for this

I've been waiting for this for what seems like years now. I'm a bit of an Alien fan, I've just replaced my Quadrilogy DVD with the BluRay version and I used to own the 1st three films on VHS, packaged in a black plastic "Facehugger" box complete with t-shirt, postcards etc. I also still have the novels for all four which are subtly different from the films because Alan Dean Foster seems to have worked from the original screenplay and for Alien 3 & 4, a lot of changes were made after that point - directors for example.

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Don't believe the 'a bit of a fan' thing, the song Man or Muppet was written for DJ and the Alien films

[tinpants]

Outland. Its got boobies, death, violence and Sean Connery.


Failing that, as has been said before, try The Thing (the Kurt Russell one)

Or indeed Saturn 3 - Farah Fawcett, death, violence and Kirk Douglas

I like your style. B movie scifi with a post apocalyptic scenario thrown in. :)
