The 1990s science fiction movie poll

wow, i've forgotten most of the stuff about that movie that i mentioned in that post.

good decision

omg y'all strange days is so horrible, just watched, kind of stunned at how long and stupid and self-congratulatory and gratuitous it was. just ugly and unpleasant and gesturing at all kinds of areas where it could Say Something, but not saying it.

i like strange days a lot but hard for me to say any aspect of this post is wrong

I don’t think I’d vote for it on a best sci-fi poll, but Galaxy Quest is easily the best film on this list in terms of quality.

not sure there's an "easily the best" option under any heading meself tbh, several movies here i love and think are really strong efforts

Considered watching 12 Monkeys the other day (don't think I've seen it since its theatrical release), remembered the plot, revised my consideration.

I do not care about 90% of these but Galaxy Quest is grebt.

A TS: Postman vs. Waterworld might be interesting. But for me it would come down to Olivia Williams vs. Jeanne Tripplehorn, and that would be sad because they are both dear to me. Terrible movies, of course.

so many bad opinions itt

mh, are you saying that you liked Waterworld?

sorry for the monday morning negativity

there are also so many good opinions itt

Galaxy Quest is indeed great

Strange Days is terrible, just like p much every other Kat Bigelow movie

I saw Lawnmower Man *in the theater*. It is also awful.

I think at the time i was still mildly curious about the potential of this newfangled CGI stuff

If you've seen the (yes, completely awful) film The Lawnmower Man but have yet to read the Stephen King short story 'The Lawnmower Man', I would suggest that you do so ASAP. Never has Hollywood more faithfully adapted an existing work. It's almost eerie.

I saw most of these when they came out, and for the most part, not since then. I have to go with my memory of how psyched I was upon exiting the theater I'd vote for Jurassic Park, though I'm baffled as to why T2 is not on the list.
