![]() | Blade Runner (Five-Disc Complete Collector's Edition) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $34.99 / Used from: $24.95 Still looks great after all these years. Visually spectacular with excellent acting. Also nice to see cigarette smoking back in style. Certainly should be in the top 5 of any sci fi fan's favorites. And let's face it, you probably had a few teenage day dreams that included Sean Young.
|
![]() | Gattaca [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $5.18 Much better than I expected. It's a sci fi feature that just barely gets off planet Earth.
|
![]() | Aliens
Buy new: $11.99 / Used from: $1.41 Ok, Aliens is one of the best creature features ever made, but it also happens to be a terrific sci fi film. This is what James Cameron could do before he decided to make an overblown film with lots of computer graphics, crappy dialog, and tall blue indians.
|
![]() | Solaris
Buy new: $6.49 / Used from: $0.31 A nice easy sci fi film. Interesting concept wrapped around a love story. And our female sci fi friends get to see George Clooney's bare bum.
|
![]() | Moon [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $13.20 / Used from: $6.22 A new movie, but certainly worth any sci fi fan's time. See my review on Amazon. Also included on the DVD is a short film called "Whistle" that's worth watching.
|
![]() | Wings of Honneamise (Blu-ray/DVD)
Buy used from: $48.00 Japanese anime has given us some very interesting concepts in the sci fi domain. Wings of Honneamise deals with a space program, but it's actually an alternate reality film.
|
![]() | Star Trek Fan Collective - Borg
Buy new: $17.23 / Used from: $9.99 Star Trek is the granddaddy of popular sci fi. However, it's hard to narrow down the choice picks. There have been many good episodes over the years.
|
![]() | The Island [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $59.49 / Used from: $999.99 Interesting movie. Not the best of the best, but more than deserves 2 hours of a sci fi fan's time. I love to see Scarlett Johansson's hair blowing around when she's on that speed boat.
|
![]() | Signs [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $7.99 / Used from: $6.42 Sci fi movie made out in the corn fields of Pennsylvania. Like most Shyamalan films, the ending pulls all the strings together.
|
![]() | Ghost in the Shell 2.0 [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $8.88 Another Japanese anime. The Blu-ray, which has been updated with CG, gets mixed reviews. However, the original movie is considered legendary by most anime aficionados.
|
![]() | Star Wars Trilogy (Widescreen Theatrical Edition)
Buy used from: $132.99 The original space opera.
|
![]() | Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
Buy used from: $49.77 You gotta see it... but suffers from the same symptoms as Cameron's Avatar: some very poor dialog, some bad acting, and some hokey CG characters.
|
![]() | Minority Report [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $12.49 / Used from: $9.95 Like Blade Runner and Total Recall, this film is based on a novel by Philip Dick. The man had a thing for sci fi.
|
![]() | The Place Promised in Our Early Days
Buy new: $21.99 / Used from: $13.10 Yes, another Japanese anime. I also recommend Shinkai's other films: Voices of a Distant Star and 5 Centimeters Per Second.
|
![]() | 12 Monkeys [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $4.88 A guy from the future trying to figure out the past. Terrific performance by Brad Pitt.
|
![]() | Firefly: The Complete Series [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $31.89 / Used from: $27.78 A hybrid sci-fi western series with personality, action, humor, and even some occasional eye candy. Lots of good fun here. Don't miss it.
|
![]() | Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Two-Disc 30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $13.49 / Used from: $9.50 The 3rd kind is... human-alien contact.
|
![]() | District 9 [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $12.96 / Used from: $2.01 This is a rather odd film. It's good but different from the usual sci fi fare. It has the feel of a documentary, especially in the beginning. Parts of it were a bit more grotesque than I expected. No doubt a sequel is in the works. After all, the prawn said he'd be back in 3 years.
|
![]() | Contact [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $7.49 / Used from: $6.90 Movie adaptation of a book by Carl Sagan. TV broadcasts from the 1936 Summer Olympics by none other than Adolf Hitler come back to haunt us. Clever concept that's fairly realistic. Also nice to see the clear eyes and chiseled faces of Jodie Foster and Angela Bassett.
|
![]() | The Terminator [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $9.49 / Used from: $4.87 Arnold, the Terminator, same thing. The movie locks in the actor.
|
![]() | Dune [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $14.73 / Used from: $9.19 Dune... the spice of life.
|
![]() | 2001: A Space Odyssey [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $7.10 Truly an original film. The Citizen Kane of sci fi.
|
![]() | A.I. - Artificial Intelligence (Full Screen Two-Disc Special Edition)
Buy new: $5.22 / Used from: $0.02 The story is interesting, but with haphazard construction. More like a three part morality play. Could have been better, but worth watching at least once. I especially liked the bridge to Rouge City, Gigolo Joe, and the Blue Fairy.
|
![]() | Sunshine [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $18.49 / Used from: $7.45 Fairly decent sci-fi flick. The crew of the Icarus 2 is the last best hope for mankind as they attempt to reignite the sun. Then the boogie man shows up.
|
![]() | Monsters Special Edition + Digital Copy [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $14.14 / Used from: $7.43 Interesting film about illegal immigration across the US-Mexico border. The pace is a bit measured (some say slow), but I was never bored. I liked the chemistry between the main characters. Some segments have the feel of a well done documentary.
|
![]() | Pitch Black (Unrated Director's Cut) [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $16.99 / Used from: $6.41 Sci-fi creature feature. Reminds me of Nightfall by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg. Similar, but different.
|
![]() | Chronicles of Riddick [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $4.85 At one point, the body count gets a little out of hand, but that's just Riddick gettin' down to business. In general, it's a well done sci-fi action flick.
|
![]() | Children of Men [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $12.72 / Used from: $9.86 Good movie with an interesting concept, cold blooded point blank murder, and the best urban warfare footage I've seen since Black Hawk Down. Not for kids.
|
![]() | Skyline [Blu-ray]
Buy new: $14.53 / Used from: $5.50 Alien invasion creature feature. Has its good parts (stealth fighter attack on alien ship) and its iffy parts (enraged man in fist fight with alien). Ending begs for a sequel.
