science fiction and fantasy films

classic sci-fi.

Incredible work of art! Kubrick was a genius!

exellent sci-fi classic.

classic sci-fi film. Great pacing.

This film is scary. Tim Robbins is scary. Tom Cruises smile is scary. Scientology is scary!
I love that whenever the "walkers" attack, Speilberg samples a note from Close Encounters.
Some of the set peices are breathtaking. The scene were the Aliens come out of the ground is fantastic. With every one getting vaporized. Great retelling of a classic!

Classic sci-fi horror with its undertones about the red scare. 50's horror at its best.

saw this years ago and loved it. But i need to see it again.

A real classic sci-fi film. The sets and effect are worth the price of admission alone. Its possibly the coolest looking sci-fi film from that time, thanks to it being the most expensive film at the time. A great script and some fun performances from Leslie Neilsen and Walter Pidgeon. Forbidden Planet also introduces the iconic Robby The Robot.

Arguably a hard film to follow. The slow as moleasass paceing and the droll score dont help things. If i hadnt seen and LOVED the remake i would of been picking my brain off of the floor. But the cinematography is AMAZING! With in the first few minutes, i was completely floored by some of the amazing visuals. And they just continue on through out the film. Like 2001, this is a thinking mans Sci-Fi film. Atmospheric and the tone is eerie at times. High class Sci-fi.

awsome character driven sci-fi film. Fantastic score too.

Pans Labrynth is AMAZING! Its about as good as anything ive seen in recent years. It is dark, magical, sad and often very violent. Its about as good as it gets. Amazing cinematography, exellent speacial effects top notch acting and the coolest fairies ever put on celluloid! I cant wait to see it again! Gets my vote for the most original film in years.

a film i really love. Odd mix of fantasy and sci-fi.

saw it once and loved it. I need to see it again before i comment.

Less horror than the first. The emphasis seems to be more on action. And what a great sci fi action film it is.

complex Cronenberg film is also one of his best. Incredible effects and great performances from Woods and Harry.

I never watched the series. But i love this film. I want more!

ahead of its time.

One of those cases were the remake is better than the original. And you can thak Cronenberg for it!
Goldblum is perfect in this film.

Cameron makes an underwater sci-fi flick. Its clautstrophobic, intence, well acted and very visual. Fantastic filmmaking from Cameron. Now if he would just return to doing stuff like this!

An extremly fun film. And probably the last really good Carpenter film. Roddy Piper is perfect in his role as the Blue collar bum. Great idea and perfect execution of the idea, even if the aliens look a bit silly.

This is a fucking great film! Visually stunning, an incredible score from Philip Glass and top notch performances from all involved. Espeacially Paul Giamatti, who is fast becoming one of my very favorite actors to watch.
Iam sure there are comparisons to The Prestige...but there really is no comparison. They are two totally different films, other than the fact that they both deal with magic.

ultra violent comic book film. Verhoeven intelligently peppers this with intelligance.

Robocop2 is hated by alot of people, I think this is just as good as the original. I would of loved to of seen the original ultraviolent cut.

First off, if youve never seen an episode of Firefly...skip the film and check out the series. It only lasted 13 or 14 episodes. I caught them on a Firefly marathon the sci-fi channel ran a couple weeks ago. And the only reason i did was because i tried to watch Serenity before but didnt get the characters or story. And thank god for that, because i was hooked after the first episode. The characters were all lovable and funny.
Its amazing this film even came about from a very short lived series. And its a shame also that there probably wont be another film in the future. I LOVED the show. It kicked ass on so many levels. But i can see why people didnt catch on.
The film Serenity is fucking great! Its a fantastic tribute to the show and characters we fell in love with. Serenity never compromises what made the show and the characters so great. Its like the best episode...only 2 hrs long. The story fills in alot of gaps the show left open and reintroduces the Reavers, zombie like cannibals that'll chase you down faster than a bowel movment after drinking the tap water in Mexico! I think they made one very short appearence on the show. But they are a major force to be reckoned with in the film.
If what happens to several of the characters isnt sad enough, knowing this is the last time ill get to be with the Firefly crew almost brings a tear to my eye.

Christopher Nolan once again crafts a great film full of twists and turns. Some really fun parallels between the two magicans and Tesla and Einstein. David Bowie as Tesla was really fun to watch, and he gave a great performance too.
Nolan has fast become one of my favorite directors and the Prestige is another fine film from this brilliant guy. Sure some of the big twists are not too hard to figure out but he still manages to inject a good amount of creepy atmospheric scenes and gets some really brilliant performances out of Jackman and Johansson. (Bale and Cain are ALWAYS good so Nolan doesnt get to take the credit for them.)

one of the best Speilberg films ever. I love the scene were Dryfuss first encounters the craft. Scary still.

very under rated. Touching and spectacular looking film.

A really good film. I was suprised.

decent film even though Vic Morrow lost his head filming it. But it doesnt come close to capturing the spirit of the T.V. series. Flawed in many ways.

under rated. I really like this one. It sucks the Weaver made the makers of this kill off the surviving characters from the 2nd one though. The tagline said the bitch is back....i think they were hinting at Weaver.

Great remake. The only thing this film suffers from is bad blue screen. I would like to see it remade nowadays. But this one still is worth the watch.

Heres another one of those low budget gems that was made with all heart. The Deadly Spawn is a great little sci-fi horror flick. The puppets are great and remind me of giant monster penises. The scene were the baby spawn terrorize the group of old woman is great.
I love films like this. Sure its low budget and the acting isnt Brando but fuck anyone who hates on that type of shit. This is a film made with love and care from a true fan of the genre. Its pure homage to the great B films of the 50's and 60's.

neat premise.

KInda weird how this stuff is becoming a reality. Decent sci fi Schwarzenegger film.

Star Wars made hollywood take more notice on the action and special effects aspect of filmmaking and less on the quality of story. and it marked the end of a great era in great filmmaking because of its influence! But....its one of the greatest sci-fi adventure films ever made. Incredible and imaginative story. iam a total geek for this film. I dearly miss the days of my youth playing with my Star Wars action figures.
The film is definatly dated now, but it still holds that magical appeal for me!

The best film of the series. compelling story. Great sets. The snow fight is worth the price of the dvd alone. Not to mention the thrilling chase through the asteroid feild. Incredible. I can watch this film everyday.

I loved this film when it first came out. But now i find it more childish than the first two. But still its far better than the new ones!

Horrible acting prevents this one from being the best of the new bunch. And C3PO is throwing out oneliners that take away from the action.
But still....Chris Lee as a Sith lord!

its like a really good episode of the t.v. series.

the best in the whole series. that creature they put into Checkovs ear used to scare the crap out of me.
