1) Starship Troopers

Space bugs , mastermind bugs , Denise Richards , Doogie Howser — this movie ’s obtain it all . It ’s eldritch how everyone from Argentina speaks sodding English , and it ’s uncanny how bug poop lasers . But Starship Troopers is a capital movie .

2) The Fifth Element

This is an excellent flick , in my opinion . It is also cheesy as hell if you step back and view the premise of Korben Dallas saving the universe by manner of an orange - hairy superwoman with really keen getup . It ’s Luc Besson at his unspoiled and worst .

In my notion .

3) Event Horizon

So some astronauts go looking for a lost ship with a sobriety drive that generated an artificial black golf hole and discover that it has literally gone to hell and back . signal me up .

4) Hollow Man

Kevin Bacon figures out how to make support organism invisible . Of course he kick the bucket crazy and spies on his aphrodisiacal neighbour and wipe out his friend and finally destroy his life ’s workplace . waitress , was that a mollycoddler ?

5) A.I. Artificial Intelligence

Stanley Kubrick started making this movie , died , and then Steven Spielberg took over . The concluding consequence is pretty much what you ’d wait from this absurd collocation of filmmaking artistry . Plus , Jude Law plays a automaton gigolo .

6) Star Wars: The Phantom Menace

hater gon na hate .

7) Judge Dredd

8) Mission to Mars

A decennary and a one-half before The Martian , there was Mission to Mars . Unlike the Matt Damon blockbuster , this movie boast a cause of death twist that would make even M. Night Shyamalan shit his pant .

9) Bicentennial Man

The greatest tragedy is that Robin Williams was n’t alive to make more moving-picture show . This is not his best . But boy , it ’s fun to watch .

10) Demolition Man

See the above commentary about Sylvester Stallone as future fuzz . Also , the three shell .

11) Source Code

Did you know that David Bowie ’s son is a director ? Indeed , Duncan Jones is a manager who ’s made a couple curious sci - fi photographic film , include Source Code and Moon . The latter is passably skillful . The former is wondrous terrible .

12) Lucy

This Scarlett Johansson first-rate drug moving picture is also Luc Besson at his best and worst — emphasis on high-risk . It ’s fun to see until you get the ending and wonder what the fuck anyone imply in this undertaking was think .
