Snowpiercer, I quite enjoyed it. It's society on a train. I'd say it's worth a watch. Feels a little grimy and it reminded me of the book, 1984.

Not see the world's end or black panther.
Is black panther even sci-fi? It's a superhero film right? I'd call that fantasy. I'll pass on it anyway.

Their city has a cloaking device, they have cool ships. Yes it could be considered sci-fi

Mr Nobody is brilliant, I'm a big fan of The Fountain too as it's Darren Aronofsky, but it's definitely an odd one.

There's better sci fi films than are on this list.
Some of thr list are more drama than having anything to do with a science fiction setting or concept.
I'd expect films like Equilibrium, Event horizon, 2001, District 9, Fifth element, Tron, Gattaca over a bunch of recent super hero films.

True. Could include Metropolis, Forbidden Planet, Quatermass & the Pit, The Day the Earth Caught Fire, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Day of the Triffids, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Night Caller from Outer Space et al. But then the demographic that that site seems to be aimed at, namely the idiot generation with the attention span of a retarded goldfish, probably wouldn't appreciate their inclusion.
48. I've not seen The Fountain, Mr Nobody and The Mist.
Definitely, It's a fantastic film!

I thought Moon was great, I had no idea what to expect and was pleasantly surprised. I normally find Sam Rockwell a bit too much but he was good imo.

Moon is fantastic, one of my favourite films.
The fountain is worth a watch, but it's extremely weird
Mr Nobody is very good.

43 Here,
Funny you should mention Equilibrium, I re-watched that again for the umpteenth time last week

40 if I include The Fountain as it sounds familiar, was a possibly a late night and beer may have been involved.

42 but the rest are films I didn't watch having read the synopsis. For example The Fountain is described as an epic romantic drama words guaranteed to make my inner Nerd avoid it!

I got 41, fairly happy with that!
Yep; but look at what type of website it is.
I'd expect there to be more proper sci-fi films if the same question was asked on Empire or Total Film, etc.
