What are the best grounded Science-Fiction movies?
Like Looper, Dredd, Gattaca, Minority Report or Children of Men
>>70353648
The Dark Knight Rises.
>time travel
>telepathy
>grounded sci-fi
Watch Bladerunner or something I don't fucking care
>>70353648
Terminator 2 is the freatest action movie of all time
>>70353695
you seem to care enough to go through writing a comment, going through the robot confirmation, and submitting your post.
>>70353695
Blade Runner is to futuristic and to stylized
Inception
>>70353648
looper is not realistic... Primer would be. Because if you could time travel would you use it to do what a vat of acid could do, or play the stock market and make money. That would make more sense. Not many good time travel movies... 12:01 PM is one of the best since it's the original TIME LOOP movie that inspired groundhog day and what not. technically the tv show version 12:01, but I liked the movie 12:01 PM much better.
Dredd was an excursion into a little world, but it was pretty interesting. I think Mission Impossible would be considered a more realistic version of that. Or the bourne movies.
Gattaca was along the lines of Equilibrium and Ultra-Violet
Minority Report was based off the same books as Scanner Darkly, Total Recall, Paycheck, adjustment bureau, screamers, imposters, and blade runner, but in my opinion:SCREAMERSis the best of all of them
Children of Men there's movies like Blindness, right at your door, and contagion,

>Europa Report
>>70354209
Europa Report is garbage
>>70354209
>Europa Report
Nigger what? That was a shitty space slasher flick, there is no world building.
Absolute garbage movie.
>>70354251
>Europa Report is garbage
nothing special, but still eons better than The Martian, Interstellar or any of the Kubrick crap.
>>70353648
MOON
Gravity (in a way)
Hackers
Contact (not including that pants-on-head retarded ending)
High Sci-Fi:
The Matrix (It's stupid in a million ways, but it still isn't)
>>70353792
>too futuristic
How can Science Fiction be too futuristic?
>>70353990
>12:01 PM is one of the best since it's the original TIME LOOP movie that inspired groundhog day and what not
It's you again, i told you the last time that even fucking wikipedia says that the first time loop story was published in 1941. 12:01 pm is nothing fucking new and it inspired nothing.
>>70354279
>Better than interstellar or Kubrick
>>70354279
>still eons better than The Martian, Interstellar or any of the Kubrick crap.
Kubrick is shit and Interstellar "love is the force" is just plain retardation I give you that, however Martian is still better than Europa Report in terms of hard-sci-fi.
Repo Men is like an exaggerated grounded sci fi.
>>70354209
>Europa Report
Is this bait?
>>70353648
>grounded.
well looper is totally contrived. because yeah, time travel is invented, but not by a government, by the mafia and they only use it to kill people, not for any other benefit. fucking retarded.
>>70354356
>>70354279
>>70354209
desu the best hard-sci-fi movie I saw was Sunshine UNTIL the shitty slasher sequence at the end.
>>70353792
>too futuristic
>science fiction
Are you retarded
>>70354299
The Matrix aged like uncorked wine.
The movie is absolutely terrible in every way if you watch it now.
>>70354398
Europa Report is one of the better hard-sci-fi movies out there, like Moon, it is certainly better than Interstellar or Gravity.
>>70354424
Sunshine was pretty good until pizza man came to kill everyone
I don't get how so many great movies drop the ball in the last minute like 10Cloverfield Lane
>>70354456
This, I genuinely couldn't get past the first 35 minutes or so the last time i tried to watch it.
>>70354302
published?
is this a novella?
>>70354402
>Here are the lottery numbers, and the F1, Tennis, Football, Soccer, Nascar, Hockey, Horse Racing, Olympic Gold Winners for the next 30 years.

HURRRRRRRR
>>70354461
Your opinion is shit.
This is what happens when /tv/ contrarianism goes too far.
>>70354470
fuck off pleb both of those things were great
>>70354507
Haven't seen EP but Moon is certainly better than those movies.
How is there a better Sci-Fi movie. Even the Martian is one ofthe most realistic sci-fi... except him getting stabbed. That was the unrealistic part.
>>70354507
>This is what happens when /tv/ contrarianism goes too far.
I agree, it doesn't matter if they saw the movie, it is more important just to shit on it.
>>70354470
at one moment I thought it would be a philosophical masterpiece of the mankind coming to terms with their existence when they re-ignite the sun. then chucky cheese came along.
>>70354543
No it was just mediocre the whole way through.
>>70354569
Interstellar was average as hell
>>70354586
I want new/tv/ to leave
/tv/ always loved that film.
>>70354626
>me and two other people liked Moon therefore everyone on /tv/ has always liked it until newfags came
You're whats wrong with /tv/
>>70354569
>How is there a better Sci-Fi movie
I can't tell if you're trolling.
Interstellar has great effects and a few good sci fi moments but the story is like Michael Bay trying to understand and adapt Isaac Asimov.
>>70354492
>The short story "Doubled and Redoubled" by Malcolm Jameson that appeared in the February, 1941 issue of Unknown
And don't give me that bullshit that it does not count.
>>70354665
vile newfaggot, pretending you're not.
>>70354156
Hothead get out
>>70354569
Interstellar is at least grounded most of the time, and when they go off base it sort of works (I liked the inter-dimensional bookcase scene well enough), but it's not really a good movie. Mostly it's just a few good moments connected by a painfully mediocre plot and some bad/cliche writing.
>>70354209
>Europa Report
this one scene BTFO every hard-sci-fi movie hollywood tried to produce afterwards.

great movie for hard-sci-fi fans, plebs and capeshit faggots are intellectually not able to appreciate it
>>70353648
Bicentennial man
>>70354586
Moon is excellent. It holds up as a movie, and not just some sci-fi setpiece. Don't be such a pleb.
>>70354743
Just convinced me to watch that.
>>70354586
Your troll opinion is average as hell 5/10 good effort
>>70354838
watch more movies, Intestellar was all lights and sound.
>>70353648
>Looper, Dredd, Minority Report
If that's your standard check out Mars Attacks, Hulk and Starship Troopers
Seriously though the term you're looking for is "hard scifi" anon, and you might want to consider
>1984 (the 1984 version; the 1950s version was stupid as fuck apparently and Orwell's estate stipulated that the newer film couldn't feature scifi technology - but it is set in the 1940s future, sort of, idfk)
>Moon
>new Planet of the Apes
>A Scanner Darkly
>Her
>Ex Machina
Shout out to imdb for helping me with my list

Nooo atomic train is the freightest of all time movie

that's what realistic plots look like.
check out every space mission except apollo 11 and 13.
That's grounded.
you just proved me right.

Children of men is good
>>70353990
Is primer any good? I've only seen UC and if primer is like that I can get into it.
>>70354321
Yo when did Chris join the Wiggles?
>>70355016
does it matter, or you the new internet white knight?
>>70353648
Logan's Run isn't completely ungrounded and it's pretty good in a 70s sort of way.
>>70355055

>>70355026
Primer is one of the best time travel movies IMHo. It doesn't talk down to you and treats you like you have the intelligence to understand what's going on in a sort of 'mockumentary' style without being up it's own ass or pretious.
it's a movie that just plays out and fuck if you can keep up or not.
it's an intelligence test that you'll never see in blockbuster movies that narrate every single action that has or ever will happen.
don't let the mockumentary thing turn you either, it's mostly because the movie is about invention.
>>70354943
Thanks for your kindness
I chose bad examples, what Kind of movies I meant, what derailed this thread from the start on
Most of your suggestions I have ready seen, but I will watch 1984 and a Scanner darkly
>>70354503
It cheapens the whole end of the movie which would be cool otherwise. But if you have to contrive such bullshit to get to your twist just don't bother.
>>70355053
oh burn, you got me in one line, my heart. i am dies. i am salty....... DX

>Minority Report was based off the same books as Scanner Darkly, Total Recall, Paycheck, adjustment bureau, screamers, imposters, and blade runner, but in my opinion:
SCREAMERS is the best of all of them
"same books" Philip K. Dick wrote novels, not cheap ass gay series's of books like Jkoff Rowling and Gay GRRM.
>>70355116
No problem anon, though I think you'll find books will have a lot more titles in the genre you're looking for. It usually doesn't translate well to have almost no scifi elements in something set in the future in a visual medium
If you haven't read 1984 (sometimes titled Nineteen Eighty-Four) by George Orwell, start there.
>>70354470
After giving it time, I realize I enjoy the absurdity of Cloverfield.
>>70355389
I am not a book guy.
I just like the visual style of movies like looper and her, and I want more sci-fi movies like them.
This realistic approach.
Europa Report was ok hard sci fi, but the movie is a remake of 2001 except it's now a monster horror film.
>>70353648
>Gattaca
as much as i like gattica (me and 12 other people globally like it) i thought it was satire about the internet. when the movie was made more homes in america were getting pc's and the internet was still young
but a name was a name online and who looks at avatars on profiles?
>Silent Running
>Solaris
>>70355116
If you like hard sci you should start seeking out short storys by authors like greg egan, arthur c. clarke, vernor vinge,
the wealth of sci fi is in short stories. look up "the days of solomon gursky" for one of the most extreme hard sci fi stories out there.
try "bears discover fire" as well. thats not hard sci fi but it's grounded as fuck. comfiest story ever.
Time of Eve was pretty good for a movie.
>>70353648
The best part of Looper was the "A Life in a Day" sequence. I would watch an entire movie, or animated series about something like that. A low rent, mid level hatchet man who takes jobs to support his degenerate habits. Set in some sort of near future dystopia.

>>70355276
>Philip K. Dick wrote novels, not cheap ass gay whatever
He wrote pulp science fiction for pulp science magazines, often to pay child support, and died right as he was finally being discovered.
The man had imagination, but in his own time he was seen as an affectation.
>>70355446
>I am not a book guy.
Pleb, gotcha
>>70355939
Was the movie just the episodes one after the other? I only watched the series and liked it a lot.
Starship Troopers.
realistic sci fi is shit, fuck off you Nolanfag
>>70354461
Europa report is shit, b movie shit
>>70355113
i really enjoyed it even though i must not have been focused enough to fully grasp it, great for replayability for me
