Help me pick a sci-fi flick!
Added 2025-01-22 17:00:13 +0000 UTCTitle says it all :) I haven't seen any of these except for Hitchhiker's Guide (which I have seen most of, but never finished).

Maybe let’s pick something she hasn’t seen?

2025-02-01 23:01:34 +0000 UTCIt was interesting coming back to the comments on this poll and seeing how so many people who commented had the same exact take as me - Stargate SG-1 isn't going to happen, so vote Gattaca. Yet somehow Gattaca performed terribly in the poll.
David Bresson
2025-01-29 00:33:50 +0000 UTCIf you want sci-fi I can't recommend both Severance and Silo on Apple TV+ highly enough. Severance is more popular and more likely to win a poll, but both series are excellent.
Jordan Freemyer
2025-01-28 05:00:17 +0000 UTCI know it has nothing to do with sci fi... but any chance of watching Agatha all along?
Fiorella Burgos
2025-01-26 20:27:31 +0000 UTCI've been a HHG fan in all of its forms: radio play, TV show, novel, text adventure, new radio show, website, and yeah, even the movie. That said, I would argue that literally all of the other movies you've listed are better movies than the Hitchhiker's Guide movie, and I say that as someone who saw it in theaters and owns said movie on DVD (because my nerdy side refuses to not own everything Douglas Adams had something to do with, though I personally don't think he would have signed off on this cut if he'd lived to see its completion.) But at least we have a movie version, is what I keep telling myself. Anyway, the people have spoken, so... Edit: Oh wait, I just saw Stargate won. Never mind!

Jonathan Martin
2025-01-24 22:55:30 +0000 UTCAfter Moneyball, you should do a poll for sports movies. My vote is for Miracle (or Mighty Ducks)
Garrett Wolf
2025-01-24 21:31:44 +0000 UTCHonestly, that's the entire reason why I'm voting for it. :P Don't get me wrong though - I dig on the movie but I loved the show as a kid and would love to dive back into it again as an adult but with a community of people watching it all together would only make the experience that much better/more fun. :)
Logan Kerlee
2025-01-24 17:01:35 +0000 UTCxD Hell yeah.
Logan Kerlee
2025-01-24 16:58:43 +0000 UTCPersonally, I'd love for all of us to watch Stargate SG1! The show's very fun and it's easy to get into/it's very accessible. I'd have a ton of fun watching it again. :)
Logan Kerlee
2025-01-24 16:58:13 +0000 UTCSunshine is a criminally overlooked movie.
Shawn E Mercado
2025-01-24 08:19:53 +0000 UTCAh okay! I don't think I've ever subbed to Reacts with Jax or Addie Counts before, but the other two, the first and last I used to be subbed to on Patreon. :)
Logan Kerlee
2025-01-23 10:14:55 +0000 UTCIt wasn't around when I was in 5th grade but yeah, amazing movie!
Logan Kerlee
2025-01-23 10:11:23 +0000 UTCI've always preferred the show over the film but it does have some great bits about it, yeah. :)
Logan Kerlee
2025-01-23 10:09:47 +0000 UTCif donnie darko is on the list, then brazil should be there....very underrated film. stalker is an oldie that has a great feel to it. 2010 was actually a pretty good sequel. dark city could work here. i think its story is better than the matrix. technically could put the road on here. great movie but very unhappy. maybe good ol primer, confuse everybody. instead of the movie hitchhikers guide, do the old bbc series, much more fun.
michael anderson
2025-01-23 08:28:44 +0000 UTCLet’s go Donnie!
PureGonzo
2025-01-23 07:43:36 +0000 UTCI have to say that I think 95% of the time I pick the lest voted for movie. I love Gattaca. my 5th grade science teacher let us watch it in class. its really good, keep it on the rotation please.
Christopher Mcconnell
2025-01-23 07:03:21 +0000 UTCHHGTG! A must watch
Greg Kenzo Wickstrom
2025-01-23 06:28:36 +0000 UTCStargate is amazing
West Beast
2025-01-23 05:02:15 +0000 UTCI really want to see Nat’s take on Donnie Darko… too bad it always barely loses
Dillon Sylvester
2025-01-23 04:53:29 +0000 UTCDefinitely watch Gravity at some point! It's an amazing sci-fi
Joshua King
2025-01-23 04:44:51 +0000 UTChaha I promise I'll do more sci-fi polls this year and include it a lot!
Natalie Gold
2025-01-23 03:05:25 +0000 UTCAppreciate the reminder!
Natalie Gold
2025-01-23 03:02:21 +0000 UTCso smart lol...
Natalie Gold
2025-01-23 03:01:02 +0000 UTCOkay but where’s Sunshine, Upgrade, Moon, Coherence, or Prometheus/Covenant (if only to get to Romulus)??
Daniel McGuinness
2025-01-23 01:44:28 +0000 UTCVKunia/Reacts With Jax/Just Stef/Addie Counts/Popcorn In Bed would be the main ones
Derder
2025-01-23 00:22:13 +0000 UTC100% with you on preferring the series to the film.
Logan Kerlee
2025-01-23 00:20:01 +0000 UTCAlso - this is just for the Stargate film.
Logan Kerlee
2025-01-23 00:19:03 +0000 UTCWhile that's fair to figure - it doesn't make me happy knowing that it is.
Logan Kerlee
2025-01-23 00:16:47 +0000 UTCWho are your other reactors that you follow/are subscribed to?
Logan Kerlee
2025-01-23 00:14:58 +0000 UTCNot going to lie, I'm disappointed that Gattaca's doing so poorly. It's easily one of my favorite sci fi movies of all time.
Logan Kerlee
2025-01-23 00:13:14 +0000 UTCAs much as I love Stargate and am sure it will win, I would love to see the reactors I follow watch Donnie Darko and NONE of them have :( Still, I'll be happy for any of these :)
Derder
2025-01-23 00:04:53 +0000 UTCA.I. (2001)
Rog
2025-01-22 23:03:20 +0000 UTCThat's my take as well MV, it was definitely a pillar of Sci-Fi for a while, but movies have changed so much in the last 50 years. The pace of Close Encounters really drags, and for folks who are now extremely familiar with seeing aliens/spaceships in TV and Movies, it can be a bit underwhelming even if it was incredible in '77.
Erik Stevenson
2025-01-22 23:02:48 +0000 UTCSunshine is such an absolutely incredible movie for reactions as well. Cinebinge just did it pretty recently and they were blown away lol.
Erik Stevenson
2025-01-22 22:57:31 +0000 UTCEvery season of a show has to win a poll now, we'd literally never get through all 10 seasons of SG1.
Erik Stevenson
2025-01-22 22:53:31 +0000 UTCWe are so close to Stargate SG1.... Gattica is wonderful though, watch it anyway.
Cory Silver
2025-01-22 22:51:34 +0000 UTCPersonally I voted for Hitchhikers because I don't care that you've already seen most of it, I just love the movie lol. Surprised that Stargate is winning!
Erik Stevenson
2025-01-22 22:44:44 +0000 UTCNoooo Gattaca lost!
Hertzweil
2025-01-22 22:27:32 +0000 UTCI voted Gattaca. Great movie, and possibly relevant to the world soon. I love the Stargate franchise, and it's a must see if you're going to jump into the series, but I'm not a huge fan of the movie. I like it, but I prefer the series changes.
Peter Jones
2025-01-22 22:17:38 +0000 UTCPlease at some point watch Gattaca, it’s beautiful and tender and I think you would love it. Plus all the actors are young people who go one to have amazing careers
Gavinmc
2025-01-22 22:13:11 +0000 UTCGreat films but I'd go with Close Encounters.
thansen
2025-01-22 21:02:33 +0000 UTCThis is such a great poll. All of these films are amazing, fascinating and excellent. Except for Stargate, so of course it's in the lead. 😭
Opti_Frog
2025-01-22 20:46:27 +0000 UTCOne of the toughest polls because they're all must watches. I voted Donnie Darko because WEIRD. I'm weird and I love weird so Donnie Darko always wins lol but the others are so great too, Hitchhiker's is my second, but I say it's my 42nd. Damn but Gattaca is so damned good! And then the other two are iconic must sees.
Joe D. MacGuffinstuff
2025-01-22 20:33:55 +0000 UTCOne day we will watch hitchhikers guide! #42

justajester
2025-01-22 20:26:00 +0000 UTCHi Justajester, Nat has already reacted to Spaceballs, if I remember correctly she wasn't a fan lol..
Baggie Mark
2025-01-22 20:24:03 +0000 UTCI think out of these choices, Natalie would like Gattaca best. Because it's kind of a high-brow intellectual film, and Nat is a big ol' smartypants smarty girl.
Mastervodo
2025-01-22 20:08:43 +0000 UTCA few more to consider 1. Spaceballs 2. The last mimzy 3. Enders game
justajester
2025-01-22 20:08:14 +0000 UTC1. Stargate 2. Donnie Darko 3. Hitchhikers Guide 🩷
sleepless_dream (Lauren)
2025-01-22 20:03:57 +0000 UTCJust watch the theatrical edition of Stargate Nat. The director's cut is not required viewing, plus the theatrical version is more readily accessible for most people.
Darryl Low
2025-01-22 19:59:23 +0000 UTCKeep Donnie Alive, Nat!
Walter Lopez
2025-01-22 19:54:40 +0000 UTCI agree with other comments please watch the Directors Cut of Stargate if it wins!!
Adam
2025-01-22 19:49:12 +0000 UTCYea it would
Rey
2025-01-22 19:46:56 +0000 UTCI love Gattaca so much. Love that its in a poll even though its losing badly 😆
Juliana Montenegro
2025-01-22 19:27:33 +0000 UTCDang, Donnie darko would’ve been awesome
Jerry Gonzalez
2025-01-22 19:23:34 +0000 UTCReally missing out not putting A Clockwork Orange in there...
Jimmie V
2025-01-22 19:05:23 +0000 UTCNat , if "StarGate" wins please watch the director's cut 2 hours 10 min runtime :)
Peter Heine
2025-01-22 19:02:37 +0000 UTCDonnie Darko defies category. Still, I hope it wins.
matthew h
2025-01-22 18:53:08 +0000 UTCGattaca is one of the best SF film ever made. It easily makes my top 10 list of SF in film history. Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide, though it is also one of my all time favourites, comes in a distant second on this list not because it isn't any good but the film, despite a gallant effort by both the studio and the talented cast, pales in comparison with the original Radio 4 broadcasts, the books and the BBC television series. The fault lies mainly with the necessary brevity of a film.
Avenging Dark
2025-01-22 18:50:32 +0000 UTCone day hitchhikers will win
K0ppar
2025-01-22 18:49:19 +0000 UTCI’ll concur with what Vodo wrote, Dredd, Alita and Event Horizon would be nice scifi films. Or Sunshine, Alien Romulus, Pacific Rim, etc. I feel like I’ve seen Close Encounters and Donnie Darko lose out a few times now…
Mike Hell
2025-01-22 18:30:53 +0000 UTCStargate series is great, the movie is okay. I'm surprised Donnie Darko isn't taking it. Gattaca should've been chosen. You're going to have to sneak in Hitch Hikers Guide like you did with The Boys, or it'll never get picked lol.
Noctis
2025-01-22 18:30:48 +0000 UTCStargate because it's currently apropos... also Spader all-day!
Bryan Erickson
2025-01-22 18:21:39 +0000 UTCStargate is a good movie and it got my vote but I won't mind The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy would be mine 2nd choice
JarHead0351
2025-01-22 18:20:22 +0000 UTCYou're right Baggie. Stargate will be right up Nattie's street 😊
Darryl Low
2025-01-22 18:19:37 +0000 UTCSome Sci-Fi recommendations: Dredd. (Kinda cross between sci-fi and comic book) Alita: Battle Angel. (Cross between sci-fi and Manga). Would love to see some continuation of the Alien franchise. Event Horizon (Sci-Fi and Horror mix). Pitch Black (Also kinda Sci-Fi Horror mixed with Fast and Furious).
Mastervodo
2025-01-22 18:08:32 +0000 UTCI won't call Donnie Darko a sci fi
Redrum Ritual
2025-01-22 18:04:57 +0000 UTCNot so much. Close Encounters is pretty boring when it comes to sci-fi shows.
Mastervodo
2025-01-22 18:04:09 +0000 UTCWould never happen.
Mastervodo
2025-01-22 18:03:08 +0000 UTCYa. No way Nat's going to dive into that series.
Mastervodo
2025-01-22 18:02:55 +0000 UTCAlso there’s zero chance she will watch the Stargate series guys, stop coping and vote for the best movie
Jason Gillman
2025-01-22 18:00:22 +0000 UTC*gasp* STARGATE and then you can watch the Stargate show (one of my all time favs!)
EngineeredTwist
2025-01-22 18:00:11 +0000 UTCGattaca is one of my favorite sci fi movies ever, this should be a no brainer vote for people imo
Jason Gillman
2025-01-22 17:59:19 +0000 UTCI loved Stargate as a teenager, one of my favourite movies. If it wins i think Nat will enjoy it.
Baggie Mark
2025-01-22 17:49:44 +0000 UTCOf course my pick is in last place.. Gattaca is one of the best sci-fi films I have seen. I watched it as a kid, not understanding everything, but moved by the swimming scene. And later as an adult understanding all the underlying symbolism, understanding why the swimming scene was so powerful. I hope it will get more attention next sci-fi poll
Edward Rahardjo
2025-01-22 17:42:49 +0000 UTCIt's one of the most underrated scifi movies of the 90's!
Sean Obrock
2025-01-22 17:38:12 +0000 UTCAlways depressing to pick my favorite and see it running in 5th. Ya'll sleeping on Gattaca.
Brant Campbell
2025-01-22 17:35:58 +0000 UTCHaven’t heard most of these movies. Went with Stargate bc it’s currently in the news right now for some reason.
Javi
2025-01-22 17:35:10 +0000 UTCLove all of these films. I went with Gattaca even though it's sadly not going to win. It is such an under-rated movie!
Troy
2025-01-22 17:34:45 +0000 UTCYou can tell the age of this community because close encounters is in close to last lmao, darn zoomers.
Thats MR. Baldamort
2025-01-22 17:33:41 +0000 UTCAll of these are good. Stargate is special to me. James Spader was incredible in it. Donnie Darko and Gattaca also very important films. Hitchhiker's Guide is peak storytelling. Close Encounters is the lowest for me but it was just a year or two too early for me. Still a monumental achievement.
adrianR31
2025-01-22 17:26:03 +0000 UTCGattaca being low in this poll makes me feel a little bit sad. It's genuinely an extraordinary movie, one of my absolute favorites and way ahead of its time. It's an absolute triumph in cinema. The other choices aren't bad per se, but not really in the same league IMO.
Berry
2025-01-22 17:19:34 +0000 UTCNoooo, I LOVE Gattaca but it will never win! 😫 The music is STUNNING
Ali D
2025-01-22 17:15:10 +0000 UTCWow. Stargate over Close Encounters. Fucking madness
Ravinder Bath
2025-01-22 17:14:01 +0000 UTC*Eats Popcorn* Polls always turn into YouTube comment sections lol I agree with David. Stargate works as a sort of prequel to the TV series Stargate SG-1. It features many of the same characters who appear in the series, though only around four actors returned, with some reprising their roles and others cast as new characters. However, the main cast of characters was entirely recast for the show. Even if you’re not planning to dive into SG-1, I’d still recommend checking out the movie, great introduction into this world. But I'm voting for Gattaca, needs some love.
LittleGalaxyBoy
2025-01-22 17:10:33 +0000 UTCI'd say Stargate if you were going to watch SG-1 and Atlantis, but I don't see that happening. That's over 300 (excellent) episodes of television.
