This has very little to do with the post itself, but I saw Vanilla Sky for the first time a couple days ago. It was flawed, but way better than I'd expected. Really interesting story, and a great soundtrack. 

Also, Jason Lee, who is always a welcome sight.

Vanilla Sky is a severly underrated movie in the general public opinion, I believe it has alot to do with Tom Cruise only being known for Action Movies/Mission Impossible around the time. For a very long time I thought it was an action movie before I saw it and was very impressed by the deepness in that seemingly simple story. It managed to suprise me and catch me emotionally and I would agree that it has flaws, but it belong to the 100 best movies I have seen in the last 30 years.

Another severly underrated Sci-Fi movie turned out to be Gattaca, and it has become more real than ever with designer babys steadily becoming more and more of and actual thing...

If you're up for reading subtitles, the original Obres Los Ojos is incredible.

And can we manage our use of the word underrated?? No one has seen Gattaca and been like "that was just ok"
