these aren’t the droids you’re looking
for
in fact you might have completely missed
these robots spaceships and dystopias
but you should definitely give them a
chance okay yeah but in the spaceship
they call it an unknown entry event on
no one welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten underrated science fiction
movies whatever is causing these
mutations is not from outer space for
this list we’ll be looking at films that
deserve a higher rating or that should
have had a larger audience
where’s Emma snow I’m wearing their
sheep if he’s still alive
number 10 2010
[Music]
also known as 2010 the year we make
contact this sequel to Stanley Kubrick’s
classic 2001 a Space Odyssey is likewise
based on arthur c clarke writing but
doesn’t get nearly as much attention as
it deserves what about it
we know that sequels are often terrible
but this is definitely an exception to
the rule
American and Russian astronauts head to
Jupiter trying to understand what
happened to the first ship that
attempted the mission and what went
wrong with a sentient computer how how
who the hell is sending this I’m sorry
dr. Floyd I don’t know not only is this
film well acted action-packed and
beautifully filmed but it tackles a lot
of mysteries that the original left
conspicuously unanswered do you
recognize these subjects yes they are
identical in size and shape to the
object you call the monolith number not
primer you know that story about how
NASA spent millions of dollars
developing this pen that writes in
zero-g you ever read that yeah I’ll rush
to solve the problem yeah they used a
pencil this micro budgeted movie is a
complicated film that puts a lot of
faith in its audience’s intelligence the
premise is simple enough
to guys build a time machine and try to
use it to make money but it becomes very
complex in the telling just hopes to see
that I’m not like that I’m not I’m not
into the whole destiny there’s only one
right wave I’m not either okay but
what’s worse you know think you’re being
paranoid or knowing you should be primer
delves deeply into all the classic
time-travel issues like what happens if
you change something in the past or if
you run into yourself in another time so
then at that moment since my doubles on
the way to the hotel room in my car I
had to take a taxi home like we said the
movie written by a former engineer
doesn’t dumb things down and while it’s
a complex watch it’s worth it if we
could travel to the future we would
certainly find that primer goes down in
history as a classic if you just work
this afternoon
and promised to do the few small things
I asked you I will in return show you
the most important thing in any living
organism is ever witnessed number eight
heavy metal
very few escape my grasp he you in death
my powers continued it may be an
animated film but it certainly wasn’t
made for kids
heavy metal features several different
storylines all set in different times
and different places linked only by the
ever-present lock NER a physical
manifestation of evil wrong one war to
another my influence is always present
the portrait armies of the universe oh
but they’re also linked by their use of
you guessed it
heavy metal music by some of the biggest
acts of all time including Black Sabbath
[Music]
Blue Oyster Cult and Sammy Hagar though
this anthology film received mixed
reviews at the time of its release it
has since developed a cult following we
figure that’s at least in part thanks to
its extreme violence nudity and
sexuality I’ve been programmed to be
fully proficient sexual activities if
you want to go steady hey I don’t know I
already have a boyfriend
number seven mr. nobody what was it like
when humans will move to this artistic
drama combines a great story with
fascinating ideas and excellent
cinematography not to mention Jared
Leto’s stunning performance as Nemo
nobody the last mortal human in the
world what did I do to deserve this in a
society where science has eradicated
death and old age Nemo fascinates the
immortal humans that surround him mr.
nobody is 117 years old and he has not
been telling me rise and why not he’s a
man with a past that’s contradictory and
jumbled I’m sorry I don’t understand did
you stay with your father or go of your
mother the movie was a bust at the box
office
but has been steadily gaining viewership
ever since and not just among immortals
it’s a story about choices and time
emotionally weaved together by great
acting and effects I’m mr. nobody the
manor doesn’t exist
number 6 silent running on earth
everywhere you go the temperature is 75
degrees everything is the same all the
people are exactly the same
imagine a live-action version of wall-e
made for adults and you’ve got something
pretty close to silent running you will
answer to the name of Huey
in the film plant life can no longer
grow on earth and the last samples are
now housed in spacecraft orbiting Saturn
what happens when the crew including
botanist Freeman Lowell are ordered to
destroy the last remaining greenhouses
in order to make room for standard cargo
Freeman disobeys of course and teams up
with three drones named Huey Dewey and
Louie to protect the last forest at all
costs
I don’t hear about your schedule you are
not using those things in my force I
ain’t got time to argue now move okay we
know that environmental destruction is a
common theme in science fiction but
rarely is it presented as compelling Lee
as it is in this movie we sure got our
work cut out for us but I think that the
three of us together as a team we can
[Music]
can manage okay number five equilibrium
typing for
I’ve only my dreams emotion and art are
so threatening to the leaders of society
in equilibrium that they are illegal
taking no chances the leaders also for
citizens to take drugs that suppress all
feelings and artistic impulses it has
delivered us from pathos from sorrow the
deepest chasms of melancholy and hope
that may sound a little familiar but
it’s presented in a totally absorbing
manner it’s real
burnin the cinematography and the
production design are key creating a
dark unsettling ambiance for this
dystopian vision of humanity’s future
not only that the stylized fight scenes
combine gun work with martial arts to
create truly impressive action sequences
there’s also an adorable puppy what’s
not to like without love without anger
without sorrow
breath is just a clock ticking number
four strange days god damn it you know I
don’t feel and snuff strange is a good
word to describe this film’s combination
of rock and roll
cyberpunk and odd drug addictions but as
it’s directed by Kathryn Bigelow with
some writing production and editing work
by her ex-husband James Cameron it’s
strange in a fascinating artistic
entertaining way you begin to see the
possibilities here ray Fiennes plays a
small-time criminal who records people’s
memories and sells them on the black
market but he gets in trouble when he
picks up the memories of various murders
makes a scene on death feeds off the
reaction you were cause at all
everything and gives it to you what
follows is simply mesmerizing don’t be
put off because it didn’t do so well in
theaters Strange Days is definitely
worth your time okay everybody needs to
take a walk to the dark end of the
street sometimes what we are now the
wrists around the line number three
exits dance what precisely the goal of
the game that we’re playing now you have
to play the game to find out why you’re
playing the game brought to us by body
horror master David Cronenberg this is
another virtual reality film but it’s
certainly not just another virtual
reality film
bodies are they alright what if they’re
hungry what if there’s danger the use of
nightmare fuel organic material like bio
ports and guns made out of bone and
flesh make it a truly creepy and
thought-provoking movie
it’s a mental thing helps me focus the
characters in this near future setting
voluntarily use bio ports to enter a
virtual world but once there they slowly
lose their grasp of reality you can
aport into me while I’m paralyzed you
want to play my game didn’t you the plot
masterfully uses its imagery to tackle
ideas of consciousness the relationship
between nature and science and what it
means to be human
making this twisty sci-fi an essential
gamer movie hey tell the truth always
doing a game
number two sunshine no great throw no we
are flying into the dead zone seven days
sooner than we thought the Sun is going
out so a team of international
astronauts is sent to reignite it do I
have to spell it out for you we have a
payload to deliver to the heart of our
nearest star we’re delivering that
payload because that star is dying and
if it dies we die the film throws all
these characters into a very
claustrophobic environment and forces
them to deal with the sun’s incredible
power to both give life and to destroy
fire and oxygen garden but it also
focuses on how the actions of one
individual can similarly decide the fate
of an entire planet mad bad person best
qualified to understand the complexities
of payload delivery our physicist
the acting is great the CGI is well done
and director Danny Boyle skillfully
builds it all to a suspenseful and
exhilarating climax that helps make this
one a must watch
[Music]
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions but if
you put a laser micrometer on this thing
you’d find that it was a perfect sphere
this ship has the power to create a
planet to create a new home you
understand any English toad face
extremely bad time not natalka sikita to
see bastard spawn it just first reason
number one move hey thanks for this this
is good our choice for the most
underrated science fiction movie we’ll
keep you on the edge of your seat make
you love the characters and seriously
mess with your head
three years is a long haul you know it’s
way way way way way too hot Sam Bell has
spent three years completing a mission
alone on the moon with only a robot for
company Sam you said it was the TV that
distracted you but when I came in the TV
wasn’t on perhaps you were imagining
things he’s all set to return home when
things start going wrong for the most
part Sam Rockwell is the only actor
on-screen and he does a brilliant job at
keeping the tension high and the action
dynamic you tell you later Sam bell we
need to get him to the infirmary
immediately like all great
science-fiction moon is an exciting
adventure that sheds light on the human
condition and forces you to question
your sense of reality
don’t miss it clear-rite programmed

fiction movie
