Equilibrium + Obscure Sci Fi list

Wait, you're being serious? Are you? Are...you? Equilibrium = Fahrenheit 451 except dumber and with more guns/explosions. Okay, well, there's some thematic differences too.

I am not saying Equilibrium is a far better movie, that is what you are saying, I'm just saying it's a cool movie he might enjoy.

No I agree that Fahrenheit 451 is a better movie, I don't agree with you saying that Equilibrium is NOT a scifi film when it shares some themes and ideas from Fahrenheit 451. It is definitely a sci fi movie.

Definitly agree there

How is it sci-fi?

My understanding of sci-fi is that it is a bit more then an oppressive regime and an "out of this world" martial arts.

Well sci-fi is short for Science Fiction...and I would consider a drug is used by a regime to oppress ALL emotion to be science fiction

A lot of people I talk to have never heard of Sunshine--add that to the list.

Is there a "mild science fiction" section on the board?

Is there a "mild science fiction" section on the board?

Maybe we should start one?

Is mild science fiction anything like soft rock? I love me some Christopher Cross.

 

[SpawnFan]

Maybe we should start one?

Haha yeah we could start one, gotta look for more movies to fit that category though.

Yeah something like that.

I second this. Sunshine is my favorite space faring sci-fi film of the last half decade.

 

[SpawnFan]

Yeah Sunshine is definitely one of the best sci-fi movies I have ever seen! Too bad I never saw that one in the theater, it totally flew under my movie radar.

I love this movie. It is the first time I saw Chris Evans in a movie I really, really liked.

And it looks amazing on Blu-ray.

 

[Reinhardt]

The first 2 acts of Sunshine were great, but i hated the last act.

Dark City is outstanding - just make sure to watch the director's cut! SO much better.

 

[Chimera 1]

Event Horizon was a crazy whacked out movie that I liked.
