Best underrated sci-fi movies?

My favorite two underrated, or just not well known sci-fi movies!

I'm a sucker for Jude Law ;).

Serenity. It kinda was underrated but alot of people love it. I really cant describe it.

Gattaca is hardly underrated, everyone who has seen it that I know of praises it. If anything it is just undermentioned.

Starship Troopers.

Damn near perfect for the sort of ridiculous fun it's going for.

I have a soft spot for Gattaca as well. :oops:LZ71

Basically anyone can relate to the main theme of the story.

One of if not my favorite sci-fi film.

Another sci-fi fav.

Moon - purely for Sam Rockwell's performance though. biggest_loser

Event Horizon

Solaris isn't underrated, it's very well known and made by James Cameron for god's sake.

My vote goes to Sunshine. It got practically no press and didn't even open in all theatres (from what I remember) but I loved it.

Children of Men

most people I know have never watched this great film.

"The Time Out Film Guide describes this version as superior to the Tarkovsky version. However, the overall critical reception and popular votes do not share this opinion. Rotten Tomatoes gave the film a 65 percent fresh approval rating, which is far from that of the Tarkovsky's adaptation, which earned a 97 percent rating. The Internet Movie Database user ratings for the two versions are 6.2 and 8.0, respectively, while Yahoo! Movies user ratings are C and A, respectively."

*takes your hand* I´ll walk you through this quickly. :)

Now, this is the thread title: "Best underrated sci-fi movies?"

Question:

Do you know what "rating" means?

If so, you could try and differentiate that definition with ´well known´.

I didn't think we were talking about critical reception. Critical reception is heavy slated towards artsy oscar-bait movies and away from mainstream movies. A mainstream action movie that everyone watched and liked but that got panned by reviewers isn't usually referred to as underrated.F1_2004

Alright, i´ll pretend that today ´well known´ is a synonym to a parameter of quality rating, and not a parameter dealing with quantities like it does under any other normal circumstances.

All for you! :3

Children of Men is definatly not underrated. its in the imdb top #250 and has92%on rotten tomatoes.
