Hey guys, I'm looking for some recommendations for good sci-fi movies that haven't been released here in the U.S. This is a genre that gets a bit overlooked on this forum, probably because there's not that much good sci-fi out there.



Just so you guys can get a sense of what I enjoy, here's a list of some recent orders:

Just got Cypher a week ago and I thought that it was pretty good for a low budget flick. Jeremy Northam does a great job in it. Surprised it hasn't gotten a stateside release. Not much talk about the movie in the forum.

I love great visuals and Wonderful Days has lots of them. I'm not that big into anime, but I really really enjoyed this movie. Great score and great animation.

Returner was a pretty good brainless action movie. Pretty good special effects and I was never bored.

Avalon. Not my cup of tea. I tend to like quiet, reflecting science fiction (Blade Runner is my fav), but this movie just felt empty to me. Maybe upon second viewing I'll change my mind.

Versus (kinda like a sci-fi if you count the ending) Fun movie. Nuff said.

I recommend Save the Green Planet from Korea.

Try Natural City. The plot is pretty bad, but the visuals are very well done.

I enjoyed the Japanese scifi/horror movie ANOTHER HEAVEN. which starts off as a serial killer plot but quickly changes to something a lot more sinister. I have the R3 release (which is available cheap from some of the usual online sites) but I believe it's also outin R1.

Lexx Season 1
Canada

I was actually thinking about buying that one, but the reviews make me kinda weary. Haven't seen many reviews that said it was really good. Still not sure if I'd enjoy it.

Natural City wasn't too bad - stay away from Yesterday though.

I just got Natural City (get it from Yesasia for half the price HKFlix charges...) and am about to watch it. I'll post what I thought, heh.

I loved Natural City. I don't know why the plot/story aspect of it is so maligned, really, and if you think it sounds like something you'd enjoy, don't let the negative vibes deter you from getting it.

2009 Lost Memories was a great what if movie. Also Resurection Of The Little Matchstick Girl was also very good. Both are Korean movies.
