Space Sci-fi

Space Balls. Saturn 3. Another mention for Outland.

Preferred the remake but the original's not bad. Worth a watch. So's Flash Gordon.

I didn't know there was a remake - the version I watched was just embarrassing.
Which was a shame as I enjoyed the books.

Has no-one watched Alien or Bladerunner?

The Lost Planet with the invisible monster terrified me when I was a kid.

Flesh Gordon?
It straddles two genres.

It is fuckin fantastic... utterly over-acted, but fuckin fantastic. Ornella Muti, mmmmmmmmmmmmm

One of my favourite authors is John Dalmas and his Regiment series. Those would make for great movies...

Other cheese worth a watch is Starship Troopers 1.

Aliens alternates at my #1 all time best movie, ever spot. Bladerunner never gets tired. Scott has his eye on The Forever War. He does Sci-fi pretty well yeah? I loved the newest Bladerunner box set update.

Harrison Ford does Sci-Fi so well perhaps because he doesn't really wanna be there....

I am a fan of the old lost in space tv series. Likewise where Serenity was a over-budget flop its predessor Firefly (tv series) was fantastic.

Can't remember any others from the past. But I used to love reading those books of artists designs of space-craft (from 60's-70's)

Not really into the older stuff, the lack of effects for a futuristic movies just feels a bit off.

Watched the new Battle Star Galactica series again not long ago, it's good, though I preferred Caprica; which unfortunately nobody else did so it go shitcanned Same with Terra Nova. SG-1 is about the oldest sci-fi I was into.

Would you like to know more?

Cargo was pretty damn good even if the entire thing was in German/French/Whatever.
Another good one is Pandorum. I also highly rate that new Judge Dredd reboot.

Caprica was like watching a whole season of Zoe's Tale. Interesting at times but I skipped about 5 episodes and went to the finale. Overall, I thought it was a snooze=fest. BSG was way better but also went through a crap season. (The one on the planet).

Caprica was great, especially once the gangsters started going all by your command on the place

Pandorum was great. I loved Cargo - has sent me on a search for other quality foreign Sci-Fi. (There's not a lot!).

Judge Dredd was good, but like The Dark Knight Returns, there wasn't enough Dredd doing what Dredd does best. Dredd felt like a bit of a side character at times. Also, the budget showed it's teeth when they decided to film in low tech in the mega-block. I'd love to see Mega-City One done properly as it's one of the richest sci-fi environments. Isn't Lena Hedley coming into her own?
