Just watched Spectral - Great film! Like Alien(s) meet Metroid
and dare I mention streaming services are bogged down with many time travel movies and tv shows that are poorly written

Are we talking recent, or is any decade allowed?

Recent is probably a good idea. Maybe keep it within a decade - otherwise too many classics come up.

Hmmm.. The problem is over saturation with the 'superhero' type movies and all these reboots. It really makes it hard to remember any good sci-fi flicks. I suppose 'Moon'? I think that's how it was called.

Interstellar ofcourse. Pretty good movie (up until the weird stuff at least), best seen in the theatre though - or a very good home cinema.

I remember Moon being very good when I watched it but now I remember next to nothing about it. That's probably a good reason to watch it again I suppose.
The only Sci-fi films I've watched recently are the Alien Covenant / Prometheus pair and I'd pretty much advise others not to bother.

That was discussed here. For me the 'xenomorph' parts of Prometheus and Covenant were the worst. I wanted to see more about the engineers. THAT was the interesting parts of those movies.
The Alien Covenant prequel movie thing they released on Youtube was better than the whole f#####g film.

I feel like I've seen Ex Machina before but maybe I just saw a preview. Oh Moon.. I struggled to finish that film and that was when alcohol consumption was at its highest for me - it reminds of Solaris. Interstellar was something different altogether. I saw it at least a year after the release and sparingly since, and I liked the ideas but I didn't take too well to the moments people acted obtusely - in scifi poor decisions don't make sense when your intelligent.
Dredd was good, and if you can watch it, in 3D!

Hahaha. Now I just *have* to see an Attenborough parody with that backdrop.

Always thought Darwinism 101 wouldn't get me far and now I know why. I'm a bigot
For a long moment I actually believed it was Attenborough
