Idiocracy: from a comedy to a Documentary. Great list btw!

Idiocracy is now almost a documentary. Also... Dredd. Urban makes this movie work and it is awesome. Needs a sequel.

Thank you for including The Fountain in this list! I had the good fortune to be part of the Visual Effects team for this film and it continues to be one of the films I am most proud to have contributed to. I've always thought it was an exceptional film and recommend it often. I was thrilled to see it on the list, and a little flattered to see my work in the clips you showed. Cheers!

I'd add The Man From Earth. Complete cerebral Sci-Fi. Just people in a room, talking, and blowing your mind Zero effects. Just an amazing concept that carries the story nicely.

Dredd deserved a sequel. It felt like a Heavy Metal magazine come to life.

Don't know if it counts as "Overlooked" but I'd like to recommend Gattaca with Ethan Hawke, Uma Thurman, and Jude Law. Terrific movie!!!

Dredd is by far a must watch. It's violent, but in line with the comic's

Moon is one of the most criminally underrated films of all time regardless of genre. Great list

One of the things I love about these lists is searching the comments for movies that other sci-fi nerds love. I found several I'd never seen.

If you want silly and comedic sci-fi time travel movies, I suggest "Frequently Asked Questions About Time Travel". I watched it for Chris O'Dowd, but loved it for the sheer goofyness. I don't know if it would necessarily make a top 10 list, but it's a fun and light-hearted watch that I don't think I've ever heard anyone mention.

Sunshine is one of the most underrated sci-fi movies of all time.

Upgrade is a legit number 1 on a fantastic, underrated list. The unique action sequences make it a joy to rewatch too.

Sunshine and Moon are so good. Wish there were more films like them. Good list bro :)

That was an excellent FLICK CONNECTION, Darren. I’m glad you selected Upgrade as your #1. Outstanding recommendation. Many thanks for sharing with us and take care. Looking forward to further presentations for 2023 👍👍👍

I think The Vast of Night should be on the list too. Its hell of a scifi movie and deserves more recognition.

Wow, great picks! Predestination is an all-time favorite of mine. And Time Crimes!! I'm so glad you mentioned this one. It deserves to be on this list.

Nice list. Dredd, Upgrade, and Turbo Kid are incredible!

Thank you for your hard work and thought creating this amazing list. I LOVE movies like these but find it so difficult to weed through everything that’s out there these days and hate wasting my time on flics that aren’t worth it. Extra thanks for sharing the streaming services where we can find them. These are exactly my kinds of movies.

just what I needed also very nice when a list video actually puts the list in text form as well so it is easy to come back to. you did everything right so I'm gonna do the things that encourages the algorithm to support you 👍

The only movie missing here was Prospect. One of the most bizarre sci fi films of the last ten years, with an incredibly charming Pedro Pascal leading us through the surreal world of interplanetary prospectors

An unknown and underrated film that I stumbled upon a couple of years ago is Time Trap. It's not big budget, but the idea is fascinating and gets my imagination going every time I watch it.

Also worth checking out 2010 movie "Monsters" and "Limitless" with Bradley Cooper.

Thank you for including the fountain!!! A beautiful gem that gets overlooked. It's one of my favorite movies

Regarding "under the Skin" - reading the novel (from which the film deviates quite a lot) is definitely worth it.

Turbo Kid is my jam. I love how they went on made 'Summer of 84' after that which is so different but also amazing. Dredd is top tier and it sucks that we never got a follow up. Sunshine, I wish I could go in blind on that movie once more. Def the most underrated flick on the list.

Thanx for the list. A few i already seen but gonna check out the other ones! Cheers from the Netherlands.

Finally a list I can totally agree with. The Fountain is brilliant and I stumbled upon it years ago. It had such an impact on me I actually find it very hard to watch as it really hits me that hard emotionally. Between the story, the acting and the visual effect I get completely pulled in. It becomes hard to shift back into reality afterwards. Midnight Special was another happy accident and highly worth watching. It was not at all what I was expecting and I am glad for it. Idiocracy is more like a documentary sent back in time 500 years to warn people about the dangers of staying on the current path and was done perfectly. I've lost count of how many times I've seen it and every time I notice something else that I missed previously. I (sadly?) use this movie to judge people. If they tell me they "don't get it" I know so much more about them than if I had asked them any other question. Dredd...there is nothing else to add here other than it is just amazing. Blows me away every time and it was done perfectly. Very disturbing at times but it is all necessary and none of that over-the-top sci-fi tech nonsense. Down and dirty, grit in your teeth reality and very plausible. Sunshine...another hard to watch movie at times but well worth it. Brings up many difficult thoughts and feelings and often it is hard to be introspective. It shows us aspects of ourselves we might not want to see. Under the skin was...creepy, and it changed my outlook on a few things. Might be a bad thing but I look at people differently and try to find hidden motives. Not everyone is as they appear on the surface. You have to look, well, under the skin to see the real "them". Moon was a VERY slow start but well worth hanging around for. Upgrade is a must see. If anything it did a great job at showcasing the dangers of just giving in to technology and how it is leading to the loss of our humanity. Much more than a simple action film. Very powerful underlying messages if you're willing to look and pay attention.

being a sci-fi nerd I'm all about this list! and shame upgrade doesn't get enough love - as far as scifi action with a twist of body horror flick, this is story wise on par with something like total recall!

I pushed all my friends to watch idiocracy when it came out. The most memorable response I got was, “why did you make me watch that? That’s the stupidest movie I’ve ever seen.” 😂

Absolute BANGERS all over this list. I've seen a number of them already, but I appreciate you reminding me about how amazing they are. Time to get watching.

Thanks Big D, that's a pretty solid list! I hadn't thought about some of these goodies in quite a while. Excellent new playlist for the New Year. Good Job!!

I would like to add the following to the list: Happy Accidents - very trippy romantic comedy indie sci-fi. A Dog's Breakfast -comedy about a scifi show and a murder. Many cast from Stargate Atlantis are in this. History of the Future Folk - movie about alien invasion and music. All three of these are awesome and fun films.

I was stunned by Under The Skin. I suppose it is an art film but I honestly thought it was brilliant and terrifying at the same and the plot really is easy to follow. Glad you included it!

You are a godsend. Thank you for sharing your recommendations and making movie watching so enjoyable. I watched your Netflix recommendations, and you knocked it out of the park! You're awesome!

I really loved Dredd. I haven't seen a few of the movies listed but will definitely check some out! Love your channel

Great selections! I think Timecrimes is the best time travel film I have seen. It manages to handle the obvious paradoxes very well and is easier to follow than the also very good Primer.

A very solid list...indeed a lot of underrated gems especially "Sunshine", "Time Crimes", "Under The Skin" & "Moon". Again they are ALL good movies.

Moon & Sunshine, I've seen both a couple of times; there's always something you miss in great films.

“Upgrade” was one ☝️ of those that when the credits role, you’re like “damn” and also your appreciation of it will grow the next day, because you’ll still be feeling it & thinking about it.

"Upgrade" was MUCH better than I was expecting the first time I saw it. It had heart and action and very good effects, and the acting was spot on... and the plot had nuance and twists without straying too far from a tried and true revenge story. Best movie ever? No, but it's better than most by a wide margin, and the people who made it earned my respect. 8.5/10

Great selections. Would love to see a similar list, but exclusively non-English language sci-fi movies

Thank you, great list!

Great list. I’ve seen about 3/4 of these. The others are definitely on my ‘to see’ list now. I adored Upgrade.

Dredd was amazing. A scifi version of "The Raid". And some great visuals to boot.

_Primer_ is, for me, THE best sci-fi movie ever made... The concept and plot/story are SO solidly brilliant (with side-plot details tweaked), that for me it transcends even the best-of-all-time sci-fi films, in the strength of its idea and storyline, _despite_ its extremely low budget, poor production values, and relatively poor/flat (though well-attempted) acting. I _so pray_ for the day that it's remade, PROPERLY. I would love to see Nolan do it, perhaps! And also: WOW - I had NO idea that the guy who wrote Primer, also wrote f'ing Sunshine...!! Incredible. My second-favorite sci-fi of all time has gotta be The Martian. The story is a compellingly real-world/real-science "impossible" human challenge, and actually absent any real bad-guy role; the opponent/antagonist was solely the infinite pressure on him to logically surrender to his (and his situation's) hopelessness - he had to maintain hope and vigor, despite being marooned on fucking _Mars._ An amazing experience and extremely rewatchable, for me - and perfectly conceived and written... and produced and directed, etc.

Great list, I love finding these "hidden gem" type movie lists as Ive seen so many movies its hard to find something good that I havent seen... thank you, my weekend is going to be awesome!

Saw this video a few days ago. Bought The Fountain off Amazon. It arrived a couple days ago and just watched it. Your comments are spot on. Still trying to wrap my head around this stories’ symbolism. I’ll have to watch it a few more times. Thank you. Subscribed.

Nice list. I have seen quite a few and have added the ones I haven’t to my list. Since 2001 was the year, I feel there was one glaring omission….Donnie Darko. Although it has attracted a cult following, it went under the radar due to the timing of its release’s proximity to 9/11. It never grossed "big" dollars in theaters and video releases, but definitely has the Sci-if and Time travel components…plus being a little trippy.

Looks like a few others have mentioned it, but Coherence is a killer science fiction. There's no aliens, space travel or robots - no special effects of any kind, really. It's set in present day, and the set of almost the entire movie is one completely ordinary house. They start seeing dopplegangers of themselves and spend the rest of the film trying to figure out what is happening until one character takes adantage of it in the last act. It's quiet, clever, smart, well-written and cast with all unknowns. It ranks with Moon as a mindbender, and pulls off a lot with very little.

It makes a nice change to find a list that actually does what it says on the tin. I'll definitely give some of these a watch - thanks.

Thank you for the great lists, we really appreciate you KVD!

The second half of Melancholia (2011) is gorgeous, depressing, haunting science fiction. The first half is just gorgeous and depressing. Apollo 18 (2011) is creepy and looked fantastic. I would also mention Europa Report (2013).

Film recommendations are always welcome, thanks. I would add the awesome "Iron sky" (2012) to the list, though I don't know if it qualifies as underrated.

Good list, thanks! 👍

Wow. One of the best lists I've ever encountered. Loved everyone of these films.

Thank you! Great list and I agree with everything except that somewhere, I would have added, maybe as an honorable mention: Upside Down (2012). The effects are eye-popping, but they do not overshadow a very good, romantic original story. I LOVE a *good* time travel movie, and I trust your judgement, so I paused your video and ordered Predestination. I am very much looking forward to it. The Fountain reminds me of Slaughterhouse Five, which I didn't like overall, but enjoyed the sci-fi scenes so much that I cut them into a separate 10-minute short. Midnight Special, was as good or better than most big-budget sci-fi films. I loved it. Primer, I have seen five times (which is a prime number!), and it is FUN and excellent. Good, coherent story. Just love it. LOVE, LOVE. You have good taste! Time Crimes is phenomenal and Moon is a perfect choice for the top of the list. Thoroughly entertaining.

I really enjoyed Coherence, and I haven’t seen anyone really pay it much attention.

Aaaand just watched “Predestination”. Thank you for another great recommendation! Started off weird, then suddenly made sense. Guess I’ll have to check out the rest in your list 😅

I've seen about half of those. Excellent picks, and I'll be sure to see the remainder of your list.

Totally agree with Sunshine. Great actors and production values, especially the background music 👍

Solaris w/ George Clooney is very underrated

What a great list! I have seen Idiocracy and the fountain so I bet the movies I havent seen here are just as great. Thank you

Just found your channel and love sci-fi. I must have add at least 6-7 in this video to my Watchlist on LB as I’ve never seen or heard about them!!! As I watch around 600 films per year you can imagine this completely blew my mind and I will definitely check out some of your other videos. ❤

Awesome list, I've seen all of these except The Fountain, which I've wanted to see but had totally forgotten the name of! A couple that I expected to be on this list are Frequently Asked Questions about time travel and a fairly recent one (2017) Time Trap.

If it's not been said already, Alex Garland also directed Dredd. There were issues early on with filming and according to Karl, Alex took over and directed the film. It was very similar to the time that Kurt Russell ended up directing Tombstone.

Awesome list, seen some of them, also added more to the watchlist, thank you! Absolutely loved Moon, I AM THE ONE AND ONLYYYYY 🎶🎵

Upgrade is an amazing movie, one of my all time favorites. Can't wait to try Timecrimes. Thanks for doing what you do!

Great list, loved all these movies. Predestination was so crazy, Timecrimes is probably my favorite time travel flick. The only couple of films I haven't see here are Safety Not Guaranteed and Idiocracy.

Predestination was an excellent movie based on the Robert A. Heinlein novella called Attention All You Zombies. I remember watching The Fountain, but don't really remember anything about it. Moon was an excellent movie and I quite liked Upgrade.

Great list. Moon , and Sunshine are such underrated films.

Great list! All of the movies I've seen I agree with you. Moon , the fountain, Dredd. Will have to check out all the ones I haven't seen.

The 3D version of Dredd is really worth seeking out and watching.

Great list. Nice to see Primer and Midnight Special get a well deserved mention. One suggestion, is 2019's "Captive State", featuring John Goodman in a straight/dark role.

Awesome list. You should consider doing a list of the best and underated sci-fi from the golden age. 50s through 70s.

Just watched Upgrade. I'm a sci fi fan but never heard or that one. Really enjoyed watching it. Thank you for the recommendation!

It is stupid as to how ignored "The Fountain" has been. Grotesquely underrated.

I waited patiently thinking to myself I would ask you about "Moon". 🤣Would have referenced "Ex-Machina" to benefit a viewer with additional insight on "Under the Skin". Do you think the Korean "The Host" would fit with the list?. Great list! Loved "Timecrimes" it was a pleasant surprise. Looking forward to watching a few from the list. Have you heard of or seen the Argentinean flick "Man Facing Southeast"? I think you would dig it.

Thanks for including The Fountain. Its one of my fave movies of all time

Very, very solid list of films; great job. I was very glad to see Primer included (IMO it is the best time travel movie ever made) and was equally pleased to see Upgrade at your #1 slot (terrific movie, eh).

When I saw that crotch rocket for one second I instantly knew "Under The Skin" was on your list! It's tied for first with "Good Time" on my top twenty films of the Teens Decade.

2002: EQUILIBRIUM with Christian Bale is a MUST SEE movie that is still highly underrated... "Tread softly because you tread on my dreams"...very relevant given the real dystopia we are heading to.

Interesting list, looking forward to watch a few !

This list is excellent. Every film I’ve seen on it is top notch. Every film I’ve heard of and haven’t seen is already on my list to see, so Time Crimes and Upgrade move to the top of the list. Thank you.

*Dredd* is awesome and so terribly underrated it should have been a huge hit. Has a great following now.

I would love to see a list of sci-fi series sometime! There are so many, even just on Netflix alone! Silent Sea is one that comes to mind.

The three I've seen from the list were all wonderful, so I'll definitely be checking out some of the others!

Excellent list!!

Thanks for bringing in Sunshine. I've been a little bewildered why I hear little about this great film. It's been one of my favorites for years now.

it's got electrolytes.

Love these films! Lovely picks :) I haven't seen all, so I've got some catching uo to do ;D

Very nice and solid collection! I could agree on most of your choices... Bring on more lists like this! 👍

My man gave me the option to pick ANY movie, without explanation or sharing trailers. No questions asked, I could pick anything. I hadn't seen Upgrade, but found it on a 'underrated list' like this, and told him absolutely nothing. He literally scared the crap out of me when he shouted 'YES!' at the end because the story wrapped up EXACTLY how he wanted it to. 😂😂😂 It was a proud moment for me, having picked what turned out to be his favourite movie of the year Hahaha. Seeeriously underrated gem, that one.

Serenity (2005) blew me away. Nobody I know has seen it, but I thought it was fantastic

Nice list I had forgotten most of these movies 🎉🎉🎉 thanks

Solid List! some of my absolute favs

I do not know quite what this says about me, but I have seen most of these films. "Dredd" is fantastic, one of the best adaptations ever. "Idiocracy" is a favourite: Friends and I have talked about how uncomfortably close it is to reality. "Moon" and "Predestination" I have recommended to several people. Both "Safety Not Guaranteed" and "Timecrimes" were surprises and worth watching. One other movie I would call attention to is "Coherence": It stuck with me for quite a while after I saw it.

The best thing about these lists are the additional recommendations by fans in the comments. Thanks everyone 🙏👍👏👏👏

Another great vid. Glad I found your channel. I gotta see about this Primer.

Love that you included Primer!
