I was reading this list of the 50 greatest sci-fi movies of the last 50 years, and it was all fairly predictable. There’s only a couple that I’d disagree with, but there were a few that would have made the list in place of them if I were compiling it myself, and I realised my additions were less mainstream or less critically acclaimed than were on there.
What guilty-pleasure sci-fi movies would you recommend?
For starters, ones I’ve watched a bunch of times would be:
Dredd (2012)
Pandorum (2009)
Lockout (2012)
Monsters (2010)
Some more I have are:
Pacific Rim Imdb
Don’t waste your time on the second Pacific rim movie
Spectral 2016 Imdb
Total Recall 2012 Imdb
And a word of warning: Don’t waste your time on Synder’s Rebel Moon, both of them are garbage
I really enjoyed Total Recall, but I expect 99% of that was down to my obsession with Beckinsale.
Agreed, the Rebel Moon movies were beyond awful. I have no clue how they got greenlit. There’s no guilty pleasure there, they’re just objectively bad.
Spectral! Unique plot, as far as I know. Never seen anything quite like it, probably watched it 10-times by now.
