Ask Lemmy

For people with Letterboxd I found some lists where it's easier to compare with your watched movies (by hovering):

Now personally I've watched very few of the movies in those lists and almost all of those I've given very bad scores or have abstained to. The best one was 3/5 for Star Wars Episode I, which I though was fine.

Bench warmers

Jurassic World Dominion. The original Jurassic Park is probably my favorite movie of all time, and I know that people hate the remakes. But they were so much fun to me. I love dinosaurs. Sue me.

I, Robot (56%). Didn't care for Will Smith in this role but he did well enough. It was more about the plot for me. Also, if your eyes don't well up when Sonny is about to be terminated you should get checked out.

Fired Up. Sitting at 24 percent from critics.

Was it as good as Not Another Teen Movie? No, probably not. But it still had some hilarious moments and lines. I especially enjoyed the long running jokes they kept sneaking in throughout the movie.

Speed 2: cruise control

I know its likely unpopular, even for a list like this, but i find myself genuinely enjoying putting it on. Quite often.

It is an action movie, but it isnt all dark & gloomy like so many in the genre. Instead, its bright and sunny. The scenarios genuinely make no sense (ex, door handles apparently dont exist) but the movie still feels fun and entertaining.

Envy (2004) starting Jack Black and Ben Stiller. I recently rewatched this as it had been 10+ years since I last saw it. I was pretty surprised to see how poorly rated it was. Supposedly Jack and Ben even apologized for it. I don't know, I still think it's funny.

The New Guy! 7% tomatometer and 54% audience score. It's still my favorite feel good movie and the funky music is amazing.

I Come In Peace / Dark Angel (1990) - campy sci-fi action with a really interesting premise.

I watched it as a kid on VHS in the early nineties, then spent 20 something years trying to remember its name.

Apollo 18. It just has the atmosphere, sense of isolaton and impending doom.

Also Life which is thematically similar, but higher production value.

And in the same vein, Europa Report, though it has critic score of 80. One of the best hard sci-fi films ever.

Almost forgot Pandorum—that one was decent, too.

As was Prometheus (I know biologists and geologists IRL, studied biology myself—the films depiction of these folks is spot on!).
