Arrival is honestly one of the best sci-fi pieces ever made. Feels like our generations answer to 2001, beautiful film, incredibly profound insight into the human experience.
So can the next top 10 be about sci-fi movies?
Yes, please!
What a great interview. Unexpectedly this turned into one of the most thoughtful discussions of SF in cinema I've heard. Thanks for taking your listeners seriously. The same goes for Arrival, which is great technically and artistically but also treats its audience like thinking beings, showing that it's possible to make gripping, moving SF films without talking down to the audience.
1:22 when you fuck up and hope they don't notice.
Jesus Arrival was amazing. I watched the spoiler and cried my eyes out the whole movie. So glad it was made.
Unfortunate gif starting @ 5:41
Please make this and send it to me.
I need a new Tinder profile picture.
I'm into him so I would say fortunate =p
Ti broke Clint's arm when she found out he went to Arrival without her.
+CineFix This was WAY too short guys! All subjects were just scratched at the surface and the talk felt rushed.Please, you should give this format at least 40-60 minutes.
I usually see people trash talking about Ti and her opinions and picky taste BUT THEN she mentions at 9:30 a movie, which none of the guys even heard about, and impresses the guest with her points of view.
So it takes a good writer to appreciate Ti's opinions, it talks loud about her level of discussion.
Ex Machina, Minority Report, Her, Martian, Children of Men, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Edge of Tomorrow are some of my favorites. Can't wait to watch Arrival.
Close Encounters, the combination of mystery, adventure,character development,effects, drama and moments of humor make the film so damn rewatchable and like a work of art. Spielberg makes such incredible films.
phenomenal film
Niall Hassett
On that note, ET is like the less sophisticated, family friendly version of Close Encounters, but man does it still work.
Totally agree. Love every moment of both
Curious to what the round table would think about Primer. Very unique film, and almost impossible to understand
One of the things I find interesting (since they were discussing things like what makes sci-fi, or syntactics versus semantics) is the similarities between fantasy and sci-fi. There's obvious ones (nerds tend to like both, both involve reality mixed with the unreal, etc.), but one of the odder things in common is that they both have a binary sorting system. Science fiction has "hard sci-fi" and "soft sci-fi", fantasy has (simply) "fantasy" and "high fantasy". They're definitely two sides of the same coin, to the point that bookstores and places that sell DVDs/Blu-rays will often just have one "Fantasy/Sci-fi" section.
Also, I just realized that I just went on a nerd rant, and it's possible no one finds this interesting except me.
hands down best roundtable you've done
Arrival is one the smartest movies ever written. It's good to see the face of the responsible person for this masterpiece.
One of the best scifi films out there is Her. That movie is a masterpiece.
Agreed. Watched just a couple days ago, and I was amazed at the unique depiction of technology and the future. Not to mention, it was also very emotionally moving.
eh
The story and characters were really disappointing and bland. It's a shame because the themes and questions it asked were amazing!
I think the blandness of the characters added to the realism. It felt like something that would happen to ordinary people that are a part of that world. If Joaquin Phoenix's character wasn't relatable like he was, the film wouldn't have been as emotional.
The lead character wasn't captivating. The performance wasn't lacking, of either of the two stars it just left me (as a huge technology buff) genuinely underwhelmed.
Maybe not the best but snowpiercer is damn good
Blade runner is my idea of perfect balance of sci-fi
Thank you guys for this one, because this episode introduced me to Arrival, which I watched immediately and loved.
I was really excited at the title because I thought I would finally get to hear your thoughts on Primer. I guess I'll just keep waiting. (unless they've talked about it elsewhere and I missed it)
Please do a list on your favorite/best sci fi. We need it
Holy crap I could talk about and listen to them talk about the genre and differences all day.
Perfect Sense... was really good... starts off light and fluffy but gets more terrifying as you start realizing what the end game is going to be for people
I just came from watching the arrival, and it is that freaking awesome.
such a deep and relevant film, it really touches you
Great quality there. Being in the presence of a writer really helps. Also I like sci-fi as mentioned at this round table.
Not mentioned: ex machina, blade runner, secret of the abyss(?), moon.
Blade Runner
And it's food equivalent is a gourmet pretzel with the fanciest of cheese
Great film, possibly my overall favorite film of all time.
it's fucking delicious I can't have enough
2001: A Space Odyssey is the obvious answer for one of the best, but I'm not sure about my favorite
JalepenoHunter it's a gourmet steak with a garnish
Blade Runner brah
James Marlon Yes, I love Blade Runner! That's why I made my username BladeJogger
Ghost in the Shell
Officially promote Billy Jackson to the big leagues. Our movie lists writer on Roundtable once more!
fantastic movie wonderful roundtable...love this channel!
Saw Arrival yesterday, excellent.
I'm with Ti on this one. The cerebral sci-fi and the action movie sci-fi both have their merits.
can you guys talk about primer
Science-Fiction themes include: Artificial Intelligence ('A.I. Artificial Intelligence', 'Blade Runner', 'Solaris'), Time Travel ('Twelve Monkeys', 'Back to the Future', 'The Terminator', 'La Jetée'), Dystopia ('Brazil', 'A Clockwork Orange', 'Alphaville', 'Metropolis'), Extra-Terrestrials ('E.T. The Extra Terrestrial', 'Alien', 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind'), Scientific Experiments ('The Fly', 'Bride of Frankenstein', 'Frankenstein'), Space Travel ('Contact', 'Silent Running', '2001: A Space Odyssey', 'A Trip to the Moon'), Monsters Unleashed ('The Host' from South Korea 2006, '28 Days Later', 'The Brood', 'Invasion of the Body Snatchers').
i had no idea what movie was this, but after 3 minutes of this interview, I am convinced that I will definitely watch it
I was about to type: I loved The Arrival.
But I meant the guilty pleasure of the 1990s with Charlie Sheen :D
Hans Wurst It's just called "Arrival", not "The Arrival".
Daniel Mashanic He was making a joke.
The best is undoubtedly 2001. Its an enigma of a film, and it's filmmaking is impressive at the very least. The best recent sci-fi film is Don Hertzfeldt's animated short World of Tomorrow, which is on netflix. Its 17 minutes, and more people need to be seeing and talking about it because it has more great sci-fi in its 17 minutes than the entire past 5 years of Hollywood million-dollar blockbusters. Other excellent sci-fi films include Her, ET, Close Encounters, Alien, The World's End, Eternal Sunshine, and The Iron Giant, just to name a few.
Obey Banksy
I liked Ex Machina, albeit not as much as most. The cinematography in particular I thought was exceptional but I felt like it lost its way a bit towards the end. That's just my personal opinion though.
There are also sci-fi movies I hear are brilliant that I've yet to see, namely Solaris, Blade Runner and Under the Skin, so nothing against those for me not mentioning them, I just haven't gotten to them yet!
Obey Banksy
I love what I have seen, but being the heathen I am, have yet to finish.
Thumbs up for mentioning Eternal Sunshine :-)
Working at +CineFix must be awesome. You guys do it right.
First time watching a video of you guys and I just love it.. got one more subscriber. Thanks Arrival, thanks UA-cam.
I completely forgot about nerds rope, now I want some 😈
oh no! now i want it tooo! soooo delicious.
Kind of sounds like some sort of tool for masturbatory auto-erotic asphyxiation, for spotty glasses wearing introverts with no way to connect face to face with another human.
Hmmm, wonder if they're available here ;)
Jason Hardman thanks for shutting me up dad! Geez
My favourite scifi is actually a novel, The Swarm by Frank Schätzing it's just a perfect example of pure scifi from all angles set right here on earth in a contemporary setting. And I just got lost in it, I devoured the whole book all within two sittings and I to this day miss that experience
Really found this roundtable interesting. Is their any chance you could do a video on genre theory about sci-fi in a similar fashion to the theory of humour video you did during the week.
It sounds like an idea that would work better with examples that we can see. Especially since a lot of the movies you mentioned in the roundtable aren't exactly mainstream.
Would also love to see T review some of the independent movies she's seen lately.
Loved the video but Heisserer barely talked, wished he talked more about sci-fi in context with his thoughts on the genre and with his film.
Some great are Spring, Upstream Color, The Lobster, Moon, Coherence, Frequencies, Predestination, I Origins, The City of Lost Children, Perfect Sense, Equilibrium, and, of course, Dragonball Evolution.
How can you talk about cerebral science fiction movies and not mention 2001: A Space Odyssey?!
DarthEd77 Because it's been done to death
They briefly went over it on the Facebook live-stream.
They might also mean moves in the last decade
***** It'd be almost like bringing up "The Godfather" in a discussion on important film. It's universally well known. Discussion should evoke less well-known film.
E.T., Close Encounters of the third kind, Star Wars, 2001: A space oddsey, Super 8, Back to the future, Blade Runner, The Iron Giant, Ready Player One, Arrival.
11:48 - Start talking about Primer! Start talking about Primer! 12:10 - ahhh, you blew it!
They didnt mention blade runner! :(
i agree with one comment this is too short 40 - 60 minute is necesary
It sounds like executives nearly ruined Arrival. Thank god for this writer.
Interesting round-table, but I would have liked a discussion of some more specific titles. I prefer more "cerebral" sci-fi, as came up in the discussion. I would include Blade Runner, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Day the Earth Stood Still (the original 1951 version), Moon, Ex Machina, Brazil (more dystopian than "real" sci-fi), and Planet of the Apes (the original 1968 version).
I loved that Stalker was talked about when they were highlighting Sci-fi movs without clear sci-fi tropes. But i think they missed a trick here. After all, the very first Sci-Fi story ever written in the english language is probably Frankenstien's Monster by Mary Shelley, that would make an even better example
Arrival is such a great great movie!!!
really cool video
Go see Arrival guys. Holy f it's fantastic
And because I live in small-town Louisiana, Arrival is yet another movie this year that I won't be able to see at my local theater because they don't show movies like that. Other movies I've missed this year: The Lobster, Green Room, Hell or High Water, Loving, and Moonlight. Not to worry though: Both Madea and Almost Christmas are playing on more than one screen, so yeah!!!
Sci fi is my favorite genre BECAUSE it's cerebral, it's inherently philosophical. It should challenge you, your perspective, your knowledge and also introduce how technology or advancements interplay with current human existence. I also do love science, in general. It's fun for me to explore tech and physics.
Note: I enjoyed Billy Jackson's perspective on this roundtable, I wish he was on more.
What happened to Clint's arm?!
Great video guys.
What happened to your hand, Clint?
Ti you're very eloquent on the spot. It gives me hope that one day I can be too :).
Surrogates (2009) The budget seemed like the studio liked it enough to green light but not enough to get a proper budget and director. Could have been amazing, but still was a good idea.
2001 A Space Odyssey
Akira
Automata (maybe, but maybe it was kinda dry)
Blade Runner
Children of Men
Close Encounters
Cloud Atlas
District 9
Dredd
Event Horizon
Fire in the Sky (for that abduction scene alone)
Ghost in the Shell
Her
Johnny Mnemonic!
Metropolis (grand daddy of sci-fi)
Monsters (monster sci-fi movie)
Evangelion
Pandorum (special mention)
Perfect Sense
Transcendence (as much as I hate its cliche approach to the subject)
12 Monkeys
Under the Skin (but it tends to be more of a horror art-house flick)
Videodrome (for a more hardcore sci-fi)
and Aeon Flux (the series)
Hello...this doesn't have to do with SciFi, but I'm a nurse and I noticed what looks like it might be jugular vein distention on the left side of Ti's neck. I'm not her doctor, obviously, but I thought it might be something she should bring up at her next check-up.
That lady is very articulate about what's she saying, I love her dulcet voice... she should definitely record some audiobook.... people would love to her voice.... I kinda like her smile...😀
A little late to the party. An excellent Sci-fi film that is hardly ever brought up is PRIMER...Love the channel.
I can't believe walking out of this and realize that nerds rope is actually a thing!
Is "Safety Not Guaranteed" sci-fi?
I loved "Arrival"! It reminded me of the (vastly?) under-rated "Contact" & the rightly celebrated "CE3K" with elements of "The Day the Earth Stood Still" & "Interstellar" freshly mixed into it.. It even had a terrifically intense dash of (the non sci-fi) "The China Syndrome" towards the end.
Donnie Darko
I have those exact same chairs in my house.
I'm glad they mentioned Children of Men in it's true genre. maybe my favorite ever
can we now talk about what is really important... Clint, what the hell happened to your arm??
Clint with that Starlord GOTG 2 facial hair!
Come on, what are you talking about? Although not at much length, they properly explain how the machine works in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind!! They identify the brain cells which are related to spesific memories by triggering activity on those cells with visual stimulation, compose a map of them, then kill all those cells while the subject is asleep with a laser or something. That's the process! I think that's enough and much better explanation than many other stuff in other sci-fi movies.
I think the point they were making is that the question of "how it works" it's not central to the story, in comparison with say, Interstellar or Inception, where this is practically what the film is all about, or at least absolutely fundamental to understand the story.
Gattaca. Everyone forgets about it.
9 minutes in and they haven't listed anything
Nerd rope is definitely a thing, they're awesome!
Thank you. I'm all about the cerebral Sci Fi films. Cannot stand the summer blockbuster Sci Fi crud like Transformers or After Earth or Pacific Rim. Excited to see Arrival this weekend.
And I cannot believe that half of the hosts were unaware of Nerds Rope!!
Stalker by taro sky is what I consider the best film. Glad it was talked about.
Tarkovsky
I actually want to see a movie by someone named Taro Sky now. Or a movie called Taro Sky. It could also be a great band name! But yeah, Tarkovsky is great, Stalker and Solaris both are fantastic sf films!
And Solaris by Tarkovsky
Oh man I love nerds rope!
Arrival = you don't have enough candy to qualify for it. It should get an Oscar for anything. If it doesn't get an Oscar for something the committee is soulless. I just saw it last night. It is literally the greatest film I have ever had the privilege of watching in a theater.
Brian Anderson
Back to the future
YES CLINT AND TI NERD ROPES DO EXIST AND THEY'RE DELICIOUS!
Anyone else get the feeling the other guy was slightly pissed they didn't thank him for joining them lol
Dude Nerd Ropes are the best!!
What is the movie she mentions in the beginning? Was it Emperor's? Not quite understood the title
Paloma A. Embers
Nerds Ropes are real. I remember eating them when I was a kid! 😄🍬
I hope Clint makes a speedy recovery to however he hurt his hand/wrist.
Arrival, together with Gravity maybe, is my favourite sci-fi movie!!! ♡♡♡
stalker is the best sci fi imo
My favorite science fiction movies is The matrix trilogy ,district 9,terminator trilogy,Star wars original trilogy,Star wars prequel trilogy,alien trilogy,predator trilogy,Tomorrowland,chappie,Jurassic park trilogy,back to the future trilogy,Avatar,inception,Independence Day,The thing,A.I. Artificial Intelligence,Starship Troopers,RoboCop,event horizon,Demolition Man,The Fly,Ex Machina ,war of the worlds,cloud atlas,The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Fantomex So every sci-fi film ever? lol
TheRonster9319 Hell yeah
Did someone find the Independent Scifi movie Ti is talking about? :O I can't find it
clint has been choking the bishop a little too hard it seems
Nerds Rope is awesome... haven't lived. Also like that billy jackson guy, seems to know his movies!
Interesting little bit on female protagonists!
I used to always get nerd rope at my old theatre.
Favorite sci-fi movie... Prestige?? if that counts. Interstellar is up there aswell.
How have you not heard of Nerds Ropes?!?!
how have you guys not heard about nerds rope. Haven't seen them in a while, though, must admit.
yep we sold nerds rope at the movie store I worked at as a teenager
Yay clint is back!
Source Code and Moon are two of my favourite, it's a shame Duncan Jones wasted his time with Warcraft.
Yes
