Ok you know the deal, pick a sci-fi movie from 2000 until now. I'll give my pick later.

Wow no picks yet. Well mines is Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

Slim pickings, getting slimmer as the decades roll on. If you'll allow The Dark Knight I'll go with that, otherwise, Wall-E.

It's that bad.....

I Robot was good.
Minority Report was decent
uh.. um. yeah.

Of the top of my head, I'm thinking Serenity.

a stretch, perhaps, but I'll say Children of Men

I love that movie, but there has to be something better. 4/5 of the decade is over and people are drawing a blank.

I haven't seen Wall-E yet, but I will also go with that one

I guess it's obvious why SF films aren't as good now as they used to be. There's less future now as there was then.

I remember liking it, but I can barely remember anything about it.

skulls tied to front of spaceships is all I remember now

I was a fan of the TV series so I found the movie Serenity to be very traumatic.

ZombieKitten said:

Doesn't anyone recall Summer Glau becoming a killing machine? Or the abandoned planet where those scary Reavers were born? Or Kaylee and the Doctor finally at the end? And the most horrifying of all, MAIN CHARACTERS DYING? Oh The humanity!

I remember it all.

Then again, I just saw it for the first time a few months ago.

If Spider-Man 2 counts, I'd have to go with that. It's my favorite movie of the decade so far.

AlexdeParis said:

That movie was a disappointment for me. It couldn't live up to the hype

NDRU said:

I thought it was much better than the hype. The only problem I had with the original (my 2nd-favorite of the decade) was the Green Goblin and his ridiculous mask. The sequel has all of the goodness of the first one with a much better villain. While I'm not the biggest fan of Kirsten Dunst, I don't have one negative thing to say about that movie.

Ah, man, it is slim pickin's this decade. If you could include TV shows (Battlestar Galactica), it'd be easy. I guess I maybe could vote for Vanilla Sky, but I think I was one of like a dozen people who actually liked it, and it was a pointless remake of a much better '90s movie. This decade has really been about fantasy and superhero movies; sci-fi has been left behind.

Efan said:

Yes, the biggest real sci-fi films this decade have been disappointing sequels.

AlexdeParis said:

well, not that many people agree with me about it My whole movie experience is really susceptible to hype. It's a weakness of mine.

The Matrix is a good one, although it suffers from extreme overuse of CGI in the sequels but the story was still good and had a lot of depth to it

kcwm said:

The Matrix was the best sci-fi film of the 90s.

NDRU said:

Oh, I understand. Hype is one of the main reasons I dislike Forrest Gump. Still, I'm a huge Spider-Man fan and I think they captured the essence of Spidey in those first two movies better than any comic-book film ever (and it isn't even remotely close).

AlexdeParis said:

Yeah that was good

I thought I hated Will Smith until I saw I Am Legend. If you haven't seen it...Rent it...it surprised me like the Matrix surprised me....very good movie.

sextonseven said:

Was the first one in the 90s!? I could swear it came out in 2000 Man time goes too fast

kcwm said:

First one came out in 99 and part 2 & 3 in 2003

kpowers said:

That's about the only one I can think of, too. Although, there's been a lot of movies I haven't seen, so....

Hopefully the new Star Trek film will rank up there as well. I'm very cautious about that one.

yeah, i'd say star wars: revenge of the sith too.

even though i don't think it's one of the greatest films ever, i think it had some beautifully iconic moments and managed to salvage the prequel trilogy somewhat, PLUS i think it shines in comparison to the other sci fi films released this decade thus far. i'm probably forgetting something i really love, though...

...is donnie darko considered sci fi? i liked that better than ep III.

Good choice. It certainly has sci-fi elements.
