I haven't seen or heard half of these movies besides Star Trek, Avatar and District 9.

District 9 was one of the most boring films I ever saw.

I thought District 9 sucked. Way overhyped. And **** Avatar.
Mine would be: Moon Star Trek Prometheus Inception Can't really think of a fifth |

Ditto, i know many like it but it sure didnt do anything for me.
Just make a sci-fi film and leave all of the hidden meanings about aparteid or immigration or whatever for another film. To the op, its pretty much just Trek and Moon for me, i might be missing one other but cant think of it. |

What? That’s what makes great Sci-Fi great. Star Trek wouldn’t be Star Trek without the allegories to real life events.

I liked District 9. I never saw Avatar. I doubt I ever will. Seems like the best thing anyone says about it is, "it looks great." So do fish tanks.

was going to say Equilibrium......but that's a bit further than 2002.
SO... Inception Prometheus Not sure if "Priest" qualifies....but it was pretty good.

Add me to the "didn't like District 9" list.
My list: Avatar Cloud Atlas Inception Looper Moon Prometheus Source Code Star Trek Watchmen X-Men: First Class Go back a couple of years and add: Children of Men Pan's Labyrinth Sunshine The Fountain A little loose in the genre selection, and not all of these are necessarily the best (or even good in a couple of cases) but rather movies I think everyone should see. I think there's a very real possibility that we'll see as many good to great science fiction movies on the big screen in 2013 as we've seen in the last 5 years combined. |

Definitely see Pan's Labyrinth. It's one of the best movies of any variety from the last decade.
The Fountain is a bit out there (it's Aronofsky, so that's sort of a given). People seem to either love it or hate it. I think it's sort of like Prometheus or Cloud Atlas in that it maybe misses the mark but there's still some really cool stuff in it. |

Guillermo del Toro is the shit. Not sure the movie really fits into sci-fi --- much more fantasy-horror. Either way, watch it.. And then watch The Devils Backbone.

Another strong recommendation for Pan's Labyrinth. Perhaps the most brilliant and original movie I've ever seen.
And I should add Watchmen to my list as well. |
