I was reading this list of the 50 greatest sci-fi movies of the last 50 years, and it was all fairly predictable. There’s only a couple that I’d disagree with, but there were a few that would have made the list in place of them if I were compiling it myself, and I realised my additions were less mainstream or less critically acclaimed than were on there.

What guilty-pleasure sci-fi movies would you recommend?

For starters, ones I’ve watched a bunch of times would be:

Dredd (2012)

Pandorum (2009)

Lockout (2012)

Monsters (2010)

    I think that’s why I preferred Rogue One (and Andor), in that they were more like war movies/shows that expanded upon this galaxy we were promised, but only previously had exposure to the same handful of individuals and their lightsabers.

    Regarding the reset of the galaxy via TFA as a mistake and what you do with it after that is actually a superb take. I think your second paragraph might even have made me want to give TLJ another go!
