leXX Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 You know Stormy, there is a great UT2K3 DM map based on Blade Runner called 2019. It's demanding on the PC specs front, but it is one hell of a great map for fans of Blade Runner like us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Planet of the Apes and its sequel, Beneath the Planet of the Apes Both of those have Heston in it, both of those are classic, and both of those are just so darned cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_One Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 The Matrix? Over-rated if you ask me... I'd be inclined to go for the sci-fi horror genre, like Alien (+ sequels), Event Horizon and Pitch Black. Of the more classic films, I like Dune, 2001 and Blade Runner. Great books, made into great films Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leXX Posted April 16, 2003 Share Posted April 16, 2003 Pitch Black sequel? Where did you here that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Originally posted by leXX Pitch Black sequel? Where did you here that? Yes. I believe I read it in SFX magazine. The sequel will be about the life of Riddick, not the alien-infested planet they landed on in the first film. In fact, if Vin Diesel gets his way, he want to make a trilogy of Riddick films. Thanks for the heads-up on the UT2K3 map. The only problem is I probably won't be able to download it. Big downloads have a habit of going wrong on my connection. Katarn07...if you like Heston, you might want to check out some of his other SF work... The Omega Man - a good film based on Richard Matheson's novel I am Legend Soylent Green - an extremely good film, IMHO, based on Harry Harrison's novel Make Room! Make Room! Edward G. Robinson gives a great performance in that film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkiTzoGuy Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Well i do like star trek matrix and a whole bunch of movies but i can't seem to remember them at the moment. I do like Lord of the Rings but i don't know if they count as sci fi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that bugged me about that movie was the really bad cast of horrible actors. Ah, the memories. The only ones I haven't seen in that list are Gattaca, Dark City and A Clockwork Orange. Something I shall have to remedy soon. Here are some more SF flicks worth watching... Logan's Run Silent Running A Boy And His Dog Fiend Without A Face Robinson Crusoe On Mars It Came From Outer Space It! The Terror From Beyond Space - (the original Alien movie) Quatermass Experiment Quatermass II Dark Star Colossus: The Forbin Project Demon Seed Rollerball The Man Who Fell To Earth Things To Come The Arrival THX 1138 Life Force Solaris The Andromeda Strain Flash Gordon (the original series with Buster Crabbe) Crack In The World Journey To The Far Side Of The Moon First Men In The Moon The Incredible Shrinking Man The Man With the X-Ray Eyes Phase IV (plain weird) Zardoz (even more weird) And two of the worst SF films ever made... Plan 9 From Outer Space The Green Slime Heh. Pleasant viewing people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Flash Gordon (the original series with Buster Crabbe) I suggest the one where he goes to Mongo first. Most of the SW movies are filled with stuff from that one. Shark City - Otoh Gunga King Vultan's Sky Palace - Cloud City Beast that fights Flash in Sky Palace - Rancor (although it looks more like the Mugato, a gorilla with a horn on its head from the original ST) Loads of other ones. They're all over. Heck, the enemy troops are called Stormtroopers and there are Roayal Guards in an episode (yes, as in episode I-VI) or two. It also starts out with the title scroll with each episode like SW. Then, the other one I saw was his trip to Mars. I saw that one a long time ago, and all I can remember being like SW are the Clay People. In AotC, when Ani and Padme are going through the tunnel and the Genosians pop outta the wall, I was the first to point out that the Clay people do the same thing when Flash and his pals are going through some tunnel in the Mars serial... The Mongo one is better. And as for that thing made in 1980? RUN!!! *** Can't believe no one else at least said the ORIGINAL PotA. I'm not talking about that 2001/ Burton/ Wahlberg thing... (Actually, the ending was a bit more like the book's than the Heston one, but not nearly as cool) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Eggplant Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Blade Runner (either version) *non naration prefered* Brazil Enemy Mine Matrix 2001 2010 Space Cowboys Apollo13 Rollerball (original and only original) (its called they live maybe?) *rody pipper movie years back a good one* there are so many, the real trick is identifying the real bad ones. Ghosts Of Mars Def Con4 Saturn 3 or 5 (farah fossa what ever her name is) The black Hole (disney) Atlantis (disney) stolen from deep blue anime version some jessie ventura film all the hylanders after the original Lexx (not the mod) any lesslie neilson parody movie some movie about a cube or box )i heard pitch black was bad) I like Vin diesel however the movie not armageddon the other one about a rock in space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Originally posted by Katarn07 And as for that thing made in 1980? RUN!!! Heh...yeah, that was pretty bad. I like the Queen rock theme for it, though. Anyway...did you also see the original Buck Rogers with old Buster? Eh, eh...didja? Darth Eggplant Saturn 3 or 5 It's Saturn 3 with Kirk Douglas, Farah Fawcett and Harvey Keitel - and you're right, it's pants. all the hylanders after the original I totally agree, the first was the best, and they should never have bothered with a sequel. I heard pitch black was bad Never judge a movie by hearsay. I liked it the movie not armageddon the other one about a rock in space I think you mean Deep Impact, where Morgan Freeman played the President of the US, and Robert Duvall lead the attack on the 'global killer'. Although you could be referring to the film Meteor starring Sean Connery. I forgot about Brazil...that was a rather strange movie, as I recall. Of course...not quite as strange as Eraserhead...which is pretty much the ultimate weirdness and a bit sick in parts. Oh...and you mentioned They Live...do you mean the John Carpenter film where the lead character - don't remember his name - walks into a bank or something and says... "I've come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass...and I'm all out of gum." Oh, and speaking of JC...who can forget Escape From New York with ole Snake Plissken? I enjoyed that one. And of course...there's the Road Warrior...Mad Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Yeah, I got the original as a gift from my sister a while back. It's two tapes and has all 13 chapters. I onl;y watched it once. All this talk about it is tempting me to pop it in one of these days I taped the Mars one off AMC and lost the tape. It is somewhere in my basement I think. And yes, it is Buster Crabbe as Flash and Jean Rogers as Dale Arden. Hmm, wish it was in color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted April 17, 2003 Share Posted April 17, 2003 Originally posted by Katarn07 Hmm, wish it was in color Now you mention it...didn't they do a colourised version of one of those old series? I can't remember which one, now, but I seem to recall seeing a screenshot of Flash colourised (i.e. touched up by hand). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
