Avatar Ambivalence — 1 year ago

Whilst it was certainly a phenomenon i’m really not sure how I feel about Avatar being on this list. The movie was an experience yes but a Top Sci-Fi movie…

pretty good list man. you might consider Starship Troopers and Strange Days should you choose to expand your list.

I’m Unsure whether to Swap ’Ghostbuster’s’ out and replace it with ‘Minority Report’ as push come to shove the latter ticks more boxes of what i want from a sci-fi movie
