@DannyDangerOzقبل 5 أشهر There's so much I like about your channel and the obvious amount of thought and work you put into it.
The fact you list and timecode the films id="hidden3" class="buttons"> is great. The range and your critique of the films is terrific. Both of those are things so many other channels a mediocre job of.
But then when you talk about the films, you're often careful to give additional context to your viewers, telling them that if they prefer this or that, then maybe this film isn't for them. That's so rare! I used to work in a video library and taking people's differing tastes into account when making recommendations was really import.
I only found you channel recently, but it's fast become a fav. Thank you for all the time, love, and hard work you put in - it shows and it's appreciated. ....وسعت 6

@goldenappelقبل 10 أشهر One of my first memories of being online was finding a movie discussion forum where a large number of folks were unaware that Starship Troopers was satire. 73
@

@ilshaguidesقبل 10 أشهر I appreciate how accurate your subjectively objective descriptions of movies are. There is no one better at describing who will enjoy id="hidden5" class="buttons"> certain movies, why they will, what they will, & how much they will. You are appreciated, sir. Thank you. ....وسعت 45
@

@Rex003قبل 10 أشهر In my opinion "Spectral" should have been on your list. One of my favorite movies of all time and i believe a Netflix original. 248
@

@Tsennguقبل 10 أشهر Warm bodies is a FANTASTIC movie. I loved this one. Had absolutely zero expectations going in to this one but it is so nice. Mostly from the main actors that make it work so well. 33
@

@danielwilliamson6180قبل 10 أشهر There's one Netflix sci-fi I'm looking forward to. But, it's not out until the end of 2023. Rebel Moon. Pitch Black is a classic and I love Starship Troopers and Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Such great movies. 16
@

@scotth8828قبل 10 أشهر I remember watching What Happened to Monday on your recommendation.HOLY CRAP! I was hoping to see Spectral here but there is only so many spots. My Netflix id="hidden8" class="buttons"> list always expands when you do sci-fi or weird-WTF movies and I'll keep watching as long as you keep making them ....وسعت 9

@darwinjinaقبل 10 أشهر My favorites are from China, Japan and Korea. Netflix needs to license more of them. Some watched for this year of Netflix, 65, Delete, Yakitori Soldiers id="hidden9" class="buttons"> of Misfortune, Ultraman, Unlocked (Horror), The Door into Summer (great), Unlock My Boss, Re/Member (Horror), My Holo Love, Mousa. yea, there are more. ....وسعت 9

@NikkiC-hl3bgقبل 10 أشهر I’m glad you included What Happened to Monday. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it. I’ve been telling people for years to check out this great movie. 35
@

@mszoomyقبل 10 أشهر I'm so glad to see you give Pitch Black a good rating, it's one of my favorite movies.
Great list Darren, theres a few on the list i havent seen yet so ill be cbecking them out this week 4

@RyanEglitisقبل 10 أشهر List w/ IMDB ratings
20. Extinction - 5.8
19. Warriors of Future - n12" class="buttons">5.6
18. Tau - 5.8
17. Level 16 - 6.1
16. Vivarium - 5.9
15. Jung_E - 5.5
14. ARQ - 6.3
13. The Wandering Earth - 5.9
12. Beyond Skyline - 5.3
11. Project Power - 6.0
10. Underworld - 7.0
9. Mirage - 7.4
8. Warm Bodies - 6.8
7. Gamer - 5.7
6. Space Sweepers - 6.5
Honorable Mentions: Hardcore Henry - 6.7, Code 8 - 6.1, Sleight - 5.9
5. What Happened to Monday - 6.8
4. Pitch Black - 7.0
3. Starship Troopers - 7.3
2. Annihilation - 6.8
1. Terminator 2 - 8.6
The ratings remind me on why I haven't seen so many of these. I don't thiink I'd count Underworld or Warm Bodies as sci-fi, though they're both good (The Adam Project probably fits better here than either). I think the top 4 are super solid, the rest seem fine if you just want to watch some sci-fi. ....وسعت 2

@TheLisandro1987قبل 10 أشهر Im still saying " WTF" whenever i think of Vivarium. I watched about a year ago. 6
@

@amaurypineda1834قبل 10 أشهر Such an uotstanding list. I really like that you introduce us to movies that are not the usual suspects. Per your recommendation, I watched "What id="hidden13" class="buttons"> happened to Monday" and I loved it. I have been putting it off, even though you have recommended before, but this time I watched it and I'm glad I did. It is pretty good and Noomi Rapace delivered as usual. Keep up the great work bro! ....وسعت 6
@

@wanderlking8634قبل 10 أشهر Saw Vivarium a few years back and it absolutely has stuck with me. I wouldn't describe it as a pleasant experience, but it is one that kept me thinking id="hidden14" class="buttons"> and I still think about it years later. It is a bit like an old sci-fi anthology series episode of Twilight Zone or Tales From the Darkside. I mention the latter because this one is indeed very grim. ....وسعت 20
@

@CoastalWheelsقبل 10 أشهر Probably the most well put together movie countdown type of video I’ve ever seen, good job and thanks for the recommendations! 2
@

@reeldeal3227قبل 10 أشهر I'd also add Anon, a visually stunning cyberpunk crime thriller. The score remains on high rotation in my electronica listening list. 2
@

@ClaymateDesignerقبل 10 أشهر Wandering Earth done properly is called "Earthsearch 1", "Earthsearch 2" and "Mindwarp" by James Follett and is a multi part radio adventure I thoroughly recommend. The books are great too. 2
@

@travist.7279قبل 10 أشهر A bit off-topic (and a bit honorable mention): There is as sci-fi novel that I am surprised was never made into a movie. Is anyone here, familiar with id="hidden16" class="buttons"> "Lucifer's Hammer"? It fits more into the disaster epic category, than sci-fi. Though it is a bit formulaic, it still would have made a great big-budget movie. Think of a sequel to "Armageddon" or "Deep Impact", if the efforts of the astronauts had been unsuccessful. Even more surprising, this novel was published back in the late 70's! ....وسعت 3

@danwake4431قبل 10 أشهر Came to the comments to ask why someone who has T2 and Starship Troopers and What Happened To Monday on their list (they are all on my list too) didn't id="hidden17" class="buttons"> have Spectral on it, and I'm happy to see lot's of other people beat me to it. A couple other movie's i've recommended to co-workers who end up liking them is I Am Mother, Anon, and Archive. ....وسعت 3

@master2uall88قبل 10 أشهر I watched every single one of these movies and you are right they are all fantastic 2
@

@ademozkum2716قبل 10 أشهر All of these movies are great. There's something on this list for everyone. One that I was a bit surprised wasn't on this list is Spectral. 6
@

@thehauteedit3954قبل 5 أشهر You have Great taste! Really appreciate how you quickly break all the movies down without giving anything away. And Love that my ALL TIME FAVORITE MOVIE T2 made it to number 1. 1
@

@zxxz9875قبل 6 أشهر Thank you for making this list Herr Flick. Subscribed.
@

@bellissimo4520قبل 5 أشهر For T2, Cameron had a special type of laser printer developed that would allow them to print the digital imagery directly on the film in order to avoid id="hidden19" class="buttons"> the dreaded green-screen-border you often see around people and objects in older movies when merged with special effects. The amount of effort put into that movie was absolutely insane! ....وسعت 2
@

@auribusteneolupum2977قبل 8 أشهر I would like to add as a great Sci-Fi movie, if you don't mind CG animation: BLAME! Its based on a popular Japanese comic book (manga) and without id="hidden20" class="buttons"> spoiling it: It read/plays out like a classic western with a lone wanderer just passing through, ending up getting involved in a situation, helping out the locals in the process and learning something about humanity and maybe himself in the process.
It also features some awesome designs in a cyberpunk-theme! ....وسعت 3
@

@paulbaumeister7741قبل 9 أشهر No list is ever going to be all-inclusive, but another fantastic Netflix original sci fi is Spectral. very much worth a watch 2
@

@JimiJammaقبل 10 أشهر Vivarium is a strange movie no doubt, but absolutely great at the same time. The movie ends with a awesome song by XTC’s Complicated Game. I thought it was a fairly recent song but when I looked it up, it came out over 40 years ago in 1979. ....وسعت 3

@th00perman_قبل 10 أشهر 65 is also out on netflix now, pretty fun watch. 1
@

@bigsarge2085قبل 10 أشهر Killer list! Netflix ramping up the library, but I'm biased. I love scifi. "Tau" was excellent, watched it when it originally released. 2
@

@terrycmartinقبل 10 أشهر Spectral 2016 needs to be on your list!!!!!!! 2
@

@wistfulvista1020قبل 10 أشهر This is an excellent list. A few of these I've never heard of. Thanks for the groundwork.
@

@bobbyg4100قبل 7 أشهر Your List it’s Spot on. I’ve worked on 4-movies in Special Effects and Love Science Fiction. I was on The Matrix Reloaded Set and was live on the Courtyard Fight Scene being filmed. It was Mind Blowing. My last Gig was I built the 80’ long Baby Conveyor in the “ Sky High “ movie and was hired and flown into Hollyweird from Eugene, Oregon to build it 80’ long and install it at the Northridge University Library Steps going into the back of a School Bus. Loved working with Brilliant people. You have a great list and I have Subscribed ✌ ....وسعت

@gavinfinch2393قبل 6 أشهر You’re really good at this. I know that’s not specific or descriptive, but I just love watching your videos!

@jd31068قبل 9 أشهر What happened to Monday is fantastic. Thanks for the list, there are a few I'm going to check out.
@

@PimptatoPCsقبل 10 أشهر I've been "thinking" about Annihilation for the last 5 years later. And still don't know what the hell was going on in that movie. 2
@

@tom4296قبل 10 أشهر Another Micro budget (3m) but still good is "Time Trap", maybe not top 20 but good enough for an honorable mention 1
@

@Russty1969قبل 10 أشهر Great list. Thanks for putting Starship Troopers in; so many people can it but I love it. 1
@

@manleeman5212قبل 10 أشهر Dude I love you put pitch black where you did. Great picks all around I wrote down several I havent seen or didnt even know about.
@

@judsdragonقبل 9 أشهر absolutely cracking list and thankfully for a change the vast majority of those that piqued my interest are on the UK Netflix, the only one in ur list id="hidden23" class="buttons"> of the ones iv seen that i disagreed with was Beyond Skyline, i really enjoyed the 1st film so when the sequel was released on Netflix i was eagerly anticipating a similar fun experience from where the original left off, sadly it had the opposite affect to the point where i switched the film off after maybe 30 mins, as with most things in life personal choice and preference play a big part in viewing enjoyment and u have brought to my attention at least 5 or 6 films i either missed seeing about or reminded me of that i would enjoy experiencing again so for that i thank u very much, cheers for the vids keep them coming as theyre very much appreciated ....وسعت
@

@RobMacQقبل 9 أشهر Can't believe I Am Mother is not on this list. Also Pitch Bkack is a classic. And Aliens is the best Si Fi thriller of all time. 1
@

@andreashaynes3346قبل 10 أشهر That was a great FLICK CONNECTION, Darren. Particularly as you have Terminator 2 as your #1. Many thanks for sharing with us 3
@

@markzambelliقبل 4 أشهر Starship Troopers was based on Robert A. Heinlein's book so already had an amazing take on a possible future. the film had a superb foundation and we see this played out on the big screen. Still one of my faves.
@

@mehdishirazi3قبل 10 أشهر Warm bodies is way underrated. This is such a great film. 1
@

@Non-Serviam300قبل 10 أشهر Underworld is definitely just a badass movieand I agree it’s the best one of the series 9
@

@charlessomerset9754قبل 7 أشهر Thanks for listing Annihilation. Hands down the most alien/psychedelic moments ever put on film, especially the final scene in the lighthouse with the mimicking entity. Great film. 2
@

@lorensims4846قبل 10 أشهر When you said great Sci-Fi on Netflix I was just holding my breath for Space Sweepers.
I saw that one a while ago and I still think about it. It's id="hidden26" class="buttons"> just so much damned FUN!
It is a wild ride about salvage operators in a very crowded Low Earth Orbit that just presents so many new and interesting features and is a high-action hoot! But ultimately with a LOT of heart!
Starship Troopers was an early Robert Heinlein novel from the mid-'50s and follows the usual 'space marines vs. space aliens' theme that was so popular in those days. Fortunately, Robert Heinlein could certainly write so the story holds together much better than the rest of that ilk. Paul Verhoven studied the films of Lili Reifenstahl to get the pure fascist uber-alles look he wanted. The political satire is just delicious!
Annihilation is an absolute mind trip and definitely NOT what I was expecting. Yeah, it's a pretty deep think piece but with plenty of really weird eye candy. It really does deserve a second watch.
Yes, Pitch Black is by far the best of a very good bunch of Riddick movies, maybe because it doesn't feature Riddick quite so prominently.
T2 -- what can I say? Sarah Conner never looked better. I'm a long-time Linda Hamilton fan and I was delighted to find that she was in Terminator. She is absolutely at the very top of her game in this movie. The tension is high throughout, and yes, the CGI was groundbreaking at the time.
As an old Atari Computer fan I really enjoy the way young John uses an off-the-shelf Atari Portfolio hand-held computer to jack ATMs.
That thing ran on AA batteries and had DOS 2.2 in ROM (DOS 3 needed to update the disk too often to be able to be used in ROM) and could definitely do everything the kid has it do in the movie. ....وسعت 6

@CurseTheDarknessقبل 6 أشهر Thanks for keeping the name of the film onscreen the entire review. It makes it so much easier to find the movie I’m interested in.

@

@charlesajones77قبل 10 أشهر Surprised you didn't have Spectral on here. For having a fairly ridiculous premise, it was surprisingly good. It involves Bose-Einstein Condensate, id="hidden27" class="buttons"> which is a real thing, though I think I can safely say it doesn't quite work like this in real life. Great sci-fi/horror/action movie. ....وسعت 135

@hugorobinson277قبل 9 أشهر Will go through all of your list because I've been pleasantly surprised by Extinction which received mixed reviews. Where they saw a cheap action movie, id="hidden41" class="buttons"> I've seen more of a metaphor of what's being a human feeling disconnected from his present.
