It was reasonably successful for its time.
Sharknado is exactly what it says on the tin
In fairness, so is Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”.
I can never get in to Sharknado.
It just… sucks.
Like I get that it’s supposed to be corny and stupid, but I like my corny and stupid to be a function of the creators incompetence and a $257 budget most spent on aluminum foil.
Like the movie “Independents Day” (yes, ents and not ence).
Sharknado VR was worth the money I spent on it (it was on a 50% sale, so I only paid 50 cents)
best science-fiction film ever made
Idk about that buddy
We can debate the top rankings, but Alien is in the pantheon for sure. It’s practically flawless as a movie. You could argue for 2001, or Blade Runner, or Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But you would have to at least compare those to Alien to prove they’re better in some way.
All of those except Alien could be argued to have pacing problems.
Pfft no, 2001 is perfect. Every time I’ve watched it I’ve been high af, and I fall asleep for a few min at a time throughout it, and I don’t miss anything at all!
I certainly wouldn’t want to watch it sober, though.
Ahem…Aliens
Aliens is quite possibly the most perfect sequel to any movie ever. Rocky II, Terminator 2, Godfather Part 2, Empire Strikes Back, it’s up there with the best of the best.
What makes Alien/Aliens special is that they are entirely different movies. Different styles, different feel, and almost an entirely different cast. All those other excellent sequels were continuations of the story, using characters and settings established in the first film. You start with Godfather Part 2, and you’ll be almost entirely lost with who is who and why you should care. You can go into Aliens entirely blind, and you’ll still get like 90% of the enjoyment. Watching Alien improves the experience, but is actually unnecessary.
And that’s part of why it’s so good. You should watch Alien, not just for the backstory on Aliens but because it’s an amazing standalone film.
It woulda been cool to get some more sequels, but alas…
Exactly.
Alien is a horror film.
Aliens is an action film.
Honestly, there’s also “The Thing” which is also as simple as it gets.
This is my vote as well. And it fits the prompt!
It’s certainly in the running, the first two are basically perfect movies
I heard it was Top Gun. :^}
You know what a gun is. A lethal weapon
Yeah well it’s called ‘heat’
Aliens are not a core element of science fiction. It should be named Future
Im sorry wheres the mages and the wizards with the wands and staffs. The dragons need to be vanquished again.
I’m always saddened when I remember the greatest sci-fi series of all has no proper movie.
