all 7 episodes ( 40 minutes each one is feature length) are the PUREST sci fi i have seen in ages all of them explore a "how would society react to this technological advancement" scenario.

I cant wait for this show to continue highest recommendation possible!

might already be on a prviouse page but i have finally seen it:

automata

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1971325/?ref_=nv_sr_1

this is the very definition of a HOT MESS this movie is as awesome as it is shit. i hope there will be fan edits because i think there is a great movie hidden in that footage. 5/10

southland tales

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0405336/?ref_=nv_sr_2

from the guy who directed donnie darko this got critically slammed when it came out and i dont quit see why i think its just as funny and messed up as donnie darko is i would say this is about the only good movie i know that has that dwayne johnson dude in it. 8/10

the box

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0362478/?ref_=nm_knf_i2

another richard kelly flick a lot less wired than donnie dark and southland tales but still super awesome once again slammed by critics which makes no sense to me its almost as if they purposfully wanted to end his career at this point. based on a twilight zone episode 8/10

ITS LOW BUDGET SCI FI TIME !!!!!!!!!!! tonights offering:

Under the skin:

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1441395/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Creppy as fuck feels abstract and experimental at times but i think what we see on the screen is ment 100% literal great ending!

oh and also scarlet johansen gets naked in this movie ... quite a lot actually. 7/10

The Signal:

Another "HOT MESS" just like atomata this movie kind of blows but it also has sooooo much goodness in it i think the right editor could turn this into a great flick

5/10

this thread has become quite a passion project of mine ... if only it wasn't so tedious to search previous pages for duplicates like my videodrome recommendation that was totally redundant.

anyway MOAR!!!!

From the guy who made primer ! and its equally mind bending ... i dont even know how to describe this movie its like ... a fake docudrama about a fictional parasitic organism and its symptoms if people get infected by it ?! this movie is a great demonstration that sci fi doesn't have to be futuristic you can also totally deal with contemporary made up science concepts eerie and fascinating in concept but doesnt really tell an interesting plot:

7/10

The Zero Theorem

Terry gilliam is back !!!! i saw this in new york and at the screening motherfucking terry gilliam was actually present so that certainly may have rosecolored the whole experience becasue i quite like this movie but people in general seem to be not quit down with it. I mean of course nothing will ever reach the heights of twelve monkeys and brazil again but i take mediocre Gilliam sci fi over NO Gilliam sci fi

7/10

yeah the big lazy robot guys are amazing

they made an ad for a large german electronics store called "saturn" once ... i only just now found out that this was made by the same guys:

(also note the perfect choice/use of cliff martinez "solaris" soundtrack in the background )

EDIT:

omfg more awesomeness from those guys:
