I think for me it’s alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don’t get much into the details of why it is or isn’t a good movie.
Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.
Tron: Legacy
Also Ready Player One. I like the movie where the person go into the computer :)
Give me the soundtrack, that’s all I need.
Love it. Sad Daft Punk may not release anymore music.
I still hope that Disney throws a small fortune at them for the Tron 3 OST
Last thing I heard was that the soundtrack is being made by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. It’s the next best thing, if you ask me.
Wait, people dislike Tron? I had no idea
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Yes it’s utterly ridiculous. I don’t care, it’s still a masterpiece of absurdity to me. That 13% on RT is a shame.
Also how has it been 23 years since its release.
13th Warrior. Solid action. Antonio Banderas and Vikings. Dudes taking care of business.
Was that the one loosely based on Beowulf? I saw it in the theater and didn’t have a problem with it.
Aha!
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_13th_Warrior
“based on Michael Crichton’s 1976 novel Eaters of the Dead,[5] which is a loose adaptation of the tale of Beowulf combined with Ahmad ibn Fadlan’s historical account of the Volga Vikings.”
Crichton, man. His influence was just astounding. Obligatory “fuck cancer”.
Definitely a 10/10 movie for me. Without hesitation.
When you die can I give that to me sister?
Boondock Saints. It’s so bad, but I love it.
Oh damn that’s a perfect example of what OP was asking for. 23% rotten tomatoe rating with 92% audience rating
Bladerunner 2049.
I know a lot of people disliked it compared to the first one, even Ridley Scott himself. But I love the direction Denis Villeneuve took this film in.
I’m partial to Last Days on Mars, and I’m one of those weirdos who loved both the book and movie versions of Cloud Atlas.
Cloud Atlas is one of my favorite movies! When I first realized I was watching

Hugh Grant as a tribal cannibal king
… I was astonished. And I’m still floored by the expansive idea of it to this day.
Yeah! I thought the movie did a great job making sense of the recurring archetypes/ characters. Okay we’re friends now
Great recommendations in here. One thing that surprised me personally was
civil war (2024)
great movie, had a blast. Was surprised rotten tomatoes / IMDb seemed to hate it.
I wouldn’t say 81% fresh and a 7/10 are necessarily bad. I might rate it a little higher personally, but those are decent scores.
Though as Coaxil says, given curent events I’m not sure I can ever re-watch it. :(
Oh cool, its audience score seems to have improved considerably compared to last time I checked‽ That is good news for the filmmakers.
the hitting close to home part - yeah I get it. If you are in a red state I hope you stay safe and find a way out of the situation. It sucks so bad if the government stops working for you.
