Recommend a scifi movie?

[cherrio5]

Hey All,

any recommendations for a space epic / sci-fi movie? Something with space battles, but not star wars or star trek (seen them to many times), something else.

It is very disappointing that such few sci-fi movies are being made any more, enough with the god damn teen vampires already!

BSG has some pretty awesome battle sequences, but looking for a movie/self contained story. Perhaps anime is the way to go? Don't shoot me, but I prefer my anime in English!

Any suggestions?

Thx in advance

Ya missed one! Sunshine (awesome movie!)

It is kinda creepy that I have almost everyone of those movies on Bluray or(and!) DVD. The Chronicles Of Riddick another underrated movie (I got that one on HD DVD as well )

Went with Enemy Mine, one small space battle in it, would have been better off watching some BSG I think. Ordered Event Horizon on Bluray though! :)

District 9 (2009)

[cherrio5]

I must get Gattaca too, the misses keeps wishing that she was taller, she doesn't believe me that it is possible!

Ya District 9 is class, best movie of 2009.

Few years ago I watched Gattaca on TV but not completely ,thanks guys it's an interesting sci-fi movie something like the book "Brave new World" from Aldous Huxley , I'm gonna download as soon as possible

Gattaca (1997)

one of my all time favs is aliens (the second part). no space battles but more than enough action and a very deep atmosphere (a thing that most later movies failed to achieve imho)
