Other Underrated Sci-Fi Films of the 2000's

[deleted]

Did you basically list every scifi movie made in the 2000s that you've seen?

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow?  seriously?
Doom? Jurassic Park 3?

Why would you even list Cube 2?

Also, those are not underrated or unknown. Most of them were major blockbusters. Failures, yes but big hyped BS.

Better to be king for a night than schmuck for a lifetime.

These are also overlooked/underrated:

- Dredd
- Chronicle
- The Jacket
- Moon
- Equilibrium

I don't consider them masterpieces or anything along those lines, but they're rather entertaining films.

Most of them found their place exactly the way they deserved, and half of those are forgotten for a good reason. For example Equilibrium and Pandorum are hardly original and I have no idea how it would be possible to "underrate" them, since acknowledging their existence itself already means overrating them. I would also add Pitch Black to that category: Okayish executed made up of fragments so obviously lifted from other movies, not necessarily a bad movie but still utterly forgettable.

And Avatar, overlooked? Really? What would have been the way of honouring Avatar correctly if making it the commercially most successful movie ever is the equivalent of overlooking it for you? Wrapping up the globe and gifting it to Cameron for his merrits?

Then there are the true gems, like Children of Men or Moon, which certainly did not get a lot of attention, but when looking at the career of their creators, were rated exactly right: Great movies of talented people who created the most bang for a buck possible and for their awkward budget region performed suprisingly well. And they are on the way of becoming classics. Where a movie like Matrix more or less got crushed by its own commercial success and the weight of pop culture and now is just a shadow of the original theatrical experience, those movies are true growers, which can sit in a collection next to Hitchcock, Bergman or Allen.
