The ten most underrated science fiction movies
Here is one such list. It offers up:
1. Primer
2. Aeon Flux
3. Body Snatchers (1993!)
4. Tron
5. Sleeper
6. eXistenZ
7. A Boy and His Dog
8. Enemy Mine
9. Gattaca
10. Silent Running
My picks would have been Mission to Mars and Titan A.E. Sunshine is also quite good and not so well known. At times I regard What Dreams May Come as science fiction. Can I call John Carpenter’s The Thing underrated? (Is Gattaca underrated? I don’t think so, not any more. Is the wonderful eXistenZ underrated?) Then there are the three Stars Wars prequels, each deeply underrated (unlike The Clone Wars, which defies every rational choice theory known to mankind). But we’ve had other comment threads on the prequels, so don’t flame me on that one. Offer up your picks, with an explanation why.
