I think for me it's alien: covenant. I was really interested in the ideas explored in prometheus and covenant just expanded on them. I don't get much into the details of why it is or isn't a good movie.

Luckily, though, HBO ran raised by wolves which really delved into ideals about AI and planet seeding etc. So that itch got way scratched even if the run was cut short.

I liked Battlefield Earth

Oh, god.

I mean, maybe if I had no awareness of Scientology and Hubbard, but not only was it awful, it was hard to watch knowing the cult connection. It's like The Passion of Christ, but for Scientologists.

Reminiscence - gotta admit the story kinda fell on flat note, especially with all the potentials in their world building, but I think it's a work of art

Ad Astra - yes, it's like Apocalypse Now (i.e. Into The Heart of Darkness) with a zest of daddy issue, but visually, they got some absolutely magnificent cinematography

The live action Transformers movies. ALL OF THEM.

Shit blew my mind when the first one came out. Weird faces and all. I cannot get enough of these robots beating the tar out of each other and sometimes committing war crimes.

Dark of the Moon in the third act is still one of my favorite pieces of cinema.

Stay

Massively underrated film imo.

I'm partial to Last Days on Mars, and I'm one of those weirdos who loved both the book and movie versions of Cloud Atlas.

Michael Mans 'Miami Vice' 2006. Absolute shit rating is probably to hard, but the reviews back then were underwhelming (I remember 'style over substance' as a quote)
The original XXX with Vin Diesel. It feels that nobody got the joke, that it is a parody of the James Bond movies, although a James Bond look alike literally gets killed within the first scenes of the movie...

Convoy. Old trucks, Kris Kristofferson, bad acting big explosions and beautiful women. And that soundtrack, chef’s kiss 👌

Off topic but it needs to be said :

Star wars 7, 8 and 9 aren't terrible. Or if they are, they are in the same way 4, 5 and 6 were. (we don't talk about 1, 2 and 3)
