(386 posts)And endorse Sunshine, 2010, and Pitch Black... though Pitch Black was something of a hit. It got... two?... sequels.
One of my favorite little-seen space sci-fi's is Europa Report. Get thee to Europa, NASA! (or Enceladus or Ganymede)
I guess The Road doesn't qualify as under-appreciated because it was highly acclaimed by critics, but audiences took a pass. And that also describes a lot of supposed "Best Picture" winners.
I would like to see the Academy Awards split Best Picture out into Best Drama, Best Musical or Comedy, and Best Sci-fi, Fantasy, or Horror.

(386 posts)Ex Machina is great, but was critically praised, and fairly successful.
In the same category... great... but probably not under-rated:
Her
Arrival
Does an alternative reality with cloning make for a sci-fi? I highly recommend Never Let Me Go. It definitely wasn't seen widely enough.

(71,311 posts)I always liked Outland. Sort of High Noon in space, but i found it very watchable.

(386 posts)I forgot about that one, it's very good. It got good reviews but didn't do all that much box office.

(386 posts)I'll deem it sufficiently "sci-fi."
Shattering book. Shattering movie. Got nowhere near the viewership it deserved. Maybe this post will get it a handful more.
