Think back to the science fiction cinema of the 1. The Phantom Menace, Jurassic Park, Independence Day, Men In Black, Armageddon and Terminator 2 were all in the top 2. But what about the sci- fi films of the 1. These are the films this list is devoted to - the flops, the straight- to- video releases, the low- budget and critically- derided. We've picked 5. 0 live- action films that fit these criteria, and dug them up to see whether they're still worth watching in the 2.

So here's a mix of everything from hidden classics to forgettable dreck, with a few films falling somewhere in between.. Abraxas: Guardian Of The Universe (1. This, surely, is the best title of any 9.

Jesse “The Body" Ventura stars as intergalactic cop Abraxas, who ends up fighting his rogue ex- partner Secundus (an equally beefy Sven- Ole Thorsen), who’s gone rogue, fathered a child (by touching a woman’s belly and immediately making her pregnant) and hopes to use the offspring as a means of gaining unlimited powers. Look out for Jim Belushi in a small role as a school principal. Is it worth seeing? It’s as batty as it sounds, so yes. Solar Crisis (1. 99. Before its release, Solar Crisis seemed to have plenty going for it: a starry cast, including Peter Boyle, Jack Palance and Charlton Heston, design by Syd Mead and direction from Richard C Sarafian (Vanishing Point). Unfortunately, the result was a hokey mess that clearly had some problems raging behind the scenes - Sarafian ultimately took his name off the movie, leaving it credited to one Alan Smithee instead.

About a mission to throw a bomb at our tyrannical sun, Solar Crisis suffers from a ponderous pace and a groan- inducing script, and even some decent pre- digital effects couldn't save this one from box- office oblivion. Is it worth seeing? The morbidly curious might get some fun out of it, but for a superior sun- bombing experience, see Danny Boyle's Sunshine instead. Dark Angel (1. 99. Also known as I Come In Peace, Dark Angel is a bit like Predator relocated to the streets of Texas. Dolph Lundgren plays a cop on the hunt for vicious drug dealers, only to discover that one of them is an alien that kills its victims with a deadly flying disc.

A sci- fi buddy- cop thriller (Lundgren’s partnered with an alien cop name Azeck), Dark Angel doesn’t win many marks for originality, but the action’s decent, it doesn’t take itself too seriously, and Jan Hammer provides the soundtrack. Is it worth seeing? There are worse ways to spend an evening, put it that way. Hardware (1. 99. 0)It's sad to think that, at the dawn of the 1. Richard Stanley was being hailed as one of Britain's finest young directors. But as the 2. 01. Lost Soul reveals, his career was unfairly cut short by the infamously nightmarish production of The Island Of Doctor Moreau.

Directed by Shin'ya Tsukamoto. With Lily Franky, Tatsuya Nakamura, Yûko Nakamura, Dean Newcombe. A Japanese soldier endures illness, starvation and brutality in the.

Titanfall 2 may have faded from the public consciousness since last fall, but the developers at Respawn have continued to add free stuff to their already excellent. Alternating Least Square Formulation for Recommender Systems¶ We have users $u$ for items $i$ matrix as in the following: $$ Q_{ui} = \cases{ r & \text{if user u. Here is an alphabetical listing of all the movies (so far) that have been certified as among the 366 weirdest ever made, along with links to films reviewed in capsule.

Go back to his debut, Hardware, and you can why see he was such a promising filmmaker. Its story, about a military robot putting itself back together and menacing a post- apocalyptic ghetto, is a familiar one, but Stanley gives it real verve - Hardware has a stylish, artistic edge that most low- budget genre films of the period sorely lacked. Is it worth seeing? Oh yes - and so too is Stanley's second film, Dust Devil. Moon 4. 4 (1. 99.

Before he became famous as Hollywood’s new Master of Disaster (taking over from Irwin Allen), Independence Day and 2. Roland Emmerich made this mid- to- low budget sci- fi oddity. About a group of helicopter pilots hired to protect a space mining colony (yes, really), it nominally stars Malcolm Mc. Dowell as the villain, but he’s only really in about five scenes. Some quaint special effects and set design are the few memorable things in this oddly tepid debut from a director now known the world over for his flamboyant destruction of civic buildings. Is it worth seeing? As a glimpse of Emmerich: the early years, just about.

Don't be fooled by the reviews claiming this is an artsy giallo. This is a surreal and extremely tactile movie about female sexuality and senses, with no exploitation. Plot Summary: In 2046, people can access a virtual network known as the Neurolinker via their cellphone terminals. A perpetual victim of bullying, middle school. 9 an X-Force film. Given how Deadpool, Cable, and Domino have all been members of the X-Force team, and seeing that 20th Century Fox has seen their X-Force movie. UK mail order specializing in Classic Rock titles from the 70s and 80s but also selling pop/rock music from over 4 decades.

Robot Jox (1. 99. Courtesy of Re- Animator director Stuart Gordon, here's America's proto Pacific Rim. In a post- apocalyptic future, wars between nations are settled not by armies and missiles, but by pitting giant robots against each other in gladiatorial matches. Achilles (Gary Graham) is the west's finest robot operator - that is, until he has a Tom Cruise- like crisis of confidence when hundreds of spectators are killed during a particularly ferocious battle. Eventually, he's coaxed out of retirement for one more fight with his arch- nemesis, Alexander (Joe Koslo). The script and acting's the wrong side of campy (a tone Gordon reportedly insisted on), but the Japanese- inspired robots look great and the stop- motion animation is quite adorable. Actually shot in 1.

Robot Jox was a flop on release, but has garnered a cult following since. Is it worth seeing? For a daft night in, it's well worth a watch. Spaced Invaders (1.

An ill- advised sci- fi comedy in which aliens land on Earth at Halloween and are mistaken for trick- or- treaters by the inhabitants of a small town. The special effects and designs, which pay loving homage to 5. B- movies, are the main reason to watch Spaced Invaders. The flailing attempts at humour, meanwhile, are something of an acquired taste.

Is it worth seeing? Not really. Dead Space (1. Bryan Cranston! Here's a crap- tacular space- horror from producer Roger Corman, made in the style of his 8. Alien rip- offs like Galaxy Of Terror and Forbidden World. In fact, Dead Space is pretty much a remake of Forbidden World, with yet another monster terrorising the crew of a roving space craft.

A fresh- faced Cranston plays a scientist in a white lab coat, while Marc Singer (The Beast Master, V) plays the buff hero. Eagle- eyed viewers may also spot the recycled footage from Battle Beyond The Stars.

Is it worth watching? Obviously, it's utter trash. But Bryan Cranston! The Guyver (1. 99. A live- action version of a cult manga and anime, starring Mark Hamill and directed by Society effects maestro Screaming Mad George? What’s not to like? About a young man who encounters an experimental suit of biological armour, The Guyver lacks the angst and melodrama of its Japanese source, but retains the protracted monster fights.

The Guyver bio- armour and the numerous monster antagonists are on the rubbery side to say the least, but that’s all part of the film’s goofy charm. Called Mutronics in some territories, The Guyver got a sequel, Guyver: Dark Hero, in 1. Is it worth seeing? It's spectacularly camp, so yes. Timebomb (1. 99. 1)Arriving in the wake of Total Recall, this cut- price thriller sees Michael Biehn's hero realise that he's actually a brainwashed assassin with only vague recollections of his former life. It's Philip K Dick by way of Robert Ludlum, and a poorly- cast Patsy Kensit (she plays a psychiatrist love interest) and some cheesy direction doesn't help the film's cause. Is it worth seeing?

Nah. Wedlock (1. 99. Remember those collars in 1. The Running Man, which blew convicts' heads off if they tried to escape?

That idea makes a return in Wedlock, in which Rutger Haur stars as a diamond thief trying to sneak out of a high- tech prison. Hauer's presence might make you think that Wedlock's essential viewing, but the film's hobbled by some pedestrian direction from Lewis Teague (Alligator, Cujo, The Jewel Of The Nile) and some flimsy made- for- TV production values.

Still, Hauer's natural charisma shines through, and the presence of Mimi Rogers, Stephen Tobolowsky and a young Danny Trejo make it worth a watch. Is it worth seeing? Just about, if only for Hauer's typically ice- cool performance. At one point, he does a seal impression. Freejack (1. 99. 2)Never mind the plot, look at the cast. Where else could you find Emilio Estevez, Mick Jagger, Rene Russo and Anthony Hopkins all in the same place?

Well, maybe at Freejack's wrap party, where they probably wondered why they'd agreed to star in this disappointing genre effort in the first place. Estevez stars as a racing driver who's snatched at the moment of death by time travellers from the future.
