Going to repeat a lot of what has been said so far: - Minority Report (The TV show isn't bad either) - Ex Machina - District 9 - Elysium - Oblivion - Edge of Tomorrow - Looper - I am Legend - Her - The Martian - The Matrix (Only 2 & 3 if you're super bored) - Basically any of the Mad Max series - Firefly (TV show, movies are OK) - Dark Matter (TV show) - Snow Piercer - American Ultra - Last Witch Hunter (more fantasy…

I am officially too old apparently when this is the top comment and it lacks Blade Runner at the top of the list (let alone even on it). Wow. Great choices though...for like the last 10 years maybe, I'll give you Matrix and X Files beyond that and that is it. Would anyone like a real list from a 40 year old?

Event Horizon. I am fascinated with the concept of evil existing outside of the context of humanity and this movie is what planted that seed.

Oh god, I thought that movie was so bad. I don't even remember it well enough to say why, I just remember remembering it being bad...
