New "UFO" movie with Gillain Anderson

[BushMasterBoy]

Last alien flick I saw was "Arrival". Main message from that film was the cryptic "Use the weapon". I wonder what this is going to be like? I always thought the X-Files was lame and always left you wondering. Maybe this will be better.

My impression of Arrival was "We've got 55 different variations of the standard Hollywood love story, let's toss some aliens into this one." Just like Titanic, Pearl Harbor, All Dogs Go to Heaven, A Fast & Furious Christmas Special: Snowkyo Drift, etc.

Either way, I always welcome good sci-fi movies. When was the last one, District 9? Sphere? Event Horizon?

Speaking of which, anyone seen the original 1973 Westworld? Was it any good?

I liked it, but then again, I'm a fan of Yul Brynnyr.

I thought they wrecked Arrival with the love story angle.

What's with redheads and Sci-fi movies by the way? I'm not complaining, but I think it's interesting.

Here is another one, but seems more AI fears than aliens.

HAL 2.0

Yep. I think it's funny that the universal symbol of good robot is blue, and bad robot is red.

Have any of you seen “Moon” with Sam Rockwell, 2009 release? Just watched it on Netflix, really liked it.

[Irving]

Add it to my list.

I LOVED the original 1973 "Westworld". Hated "Event Horizon", it wasn't good SF or good horror, just a lame attempt to be the next Alien IMO.

IMO, the last genuinely good SF movie was "Ghost in the Shell" (I still prefer the original anime but was pleasantly surprised at how well the live action worked). Prior to that, maybe "Interstellar".
