I’m trying to think of really good sci-fi films, but can (surprisingly) come up with only a handful, the best being “The Matrix” .<\/strong> Then there are the “Alien<\/strong>” and the “Terminator<\/strong>” films ofcourse. There’s Asimov’s “I, Robot”<\/strong> which turned into a fairly interesting film. And H.G.Wells “The war of the world’s”<\/strong> was OK. “Sphere”<\/strong> Michael Crichton’s film about an alien intelligence “in” a mysterious sphere, was pretty good, but can be called only border-line sci-fi. “12 monkeys”<\/strong><\/a> is a fairly old movie on time-travel, and it’s fun – lots of plot twists, and it makes you think trying to keep track of the protagonist. Added bonus : it stars Bruce Willis ! “ET”<\/strong> was fun, when I was a kid. Not so much fun now. “Minority Report”<\/strong> (another Philip Dick short story) stars Tom Cruise and is good – sort of a sci-fi detective film. “Solaris”<\/strong> (2002) Steven Soderbergh’s remake starring George Clooney tells a tale of mysterious dead visitors on a space-station. “Men in Black”<\/strong> is sci-fi yes, but it is also a funny, slap-sticky film where smart-mouthed average Joes, turn into an alien-fighting team.<\/p>\n

And then there are the great films I HAVEN’T SEEN. “Blade Runner”<\/strong><\/a> is supposed to be great – am reading the book now (“Do Androids dream of electric sheep ?”<\/a> by Philip K. Dick). Other recommended films are “Artificial Intelligence”, “The day the earth stood still”, “Metropolis”, “2001 – A space odyssey”.<\/strong><\/p>\n
