One of my favorite action movies. Great characters, cast and writing.

Sunshine (2007)
Fifty years into the future, the sun is dying, and Earth is threatened by arctic temperatures. A team of astronauts is sent to revive the Sun — but the mission fails. Seven years later, a new team is sent to finish the mission as mankind’s last hope. Is a very decent Sci-Fi film that's grounded in real world physics, a good watch....

Excellent movie. I've watched it many times and it never disappoints.

Solaris.
The 1972 Russian version, not the George Clooney version. It's a non-Sci-Fi Sci-Fi. It takes place in on a space station around a distant planet, that's about as sci-fi as it gets. The science is comically outdated or flat out wrong. The non-Earth people in the movies are made up of "neutrinos instead of atoms."😄 Dr. Snaut tells Kelvin, "Science? Nonsense! In this situation mediocrity and genius are equally useless!" They're in a situation so bad, not even bad science can explain it.😂 In all fairness, almost the science I learned in school has been proven wrong today: Climate change killed the dinosaurs, Pluto is a planet (a hill I will die on) and the Biorhythm Theory😑.
Ignore the outdated future decor, the uninspiring FX, the movie isn't a sci-fi, but a psychological drama. The journey isn't one into outer space, but to inner space. The human mind. There things science can't explain. There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
There is about 30 minutes of pointless filler in the first half of Russian traffic and scenery. If I had known, I would have skipped it. After the Anri Berton, the pilot, visits him. 30 minutes of filler 💩. Kelvin arrives at the space station.

Does someone remember the DooM movie? Only in the last minutes there was some DooM feeling.
Sad, that they didn't make the movie like the computer game.
Or Max Payne? Good to see Mark Wahlberg again but don't got maxx Payne feeling.
Resident Evil was somehow okay, because I never played the games. My colleagues played it back then. They would say the movies are some kind of new interpretation.

The 1972 film was designed to make you to think, the 2002 film is just holyweird copying better work...Solaris.

Pretty much sums it up, switched to music - Roxy Music - Avalon which equally never disappoints... Remember one of his tracks intro was the roar of a V12 Jaguar when Jags were Jags not the sad excuse of a car they pretended to be today.

I’ll watch Doom again soon, since I am a big Karl Urban fan. I rewatch Max Payne occasionally because i love the games so much. They are remastering the first two games currently.

The Void (2016}
In the middle of a routine patrol, officer Daniel Carter happens upon a blood-soaked figure limping down a deserted stretch of road. He rushes the young man to a nearby rural hospital staffed by a skeleton crew, only to discover that patients and personnel are transforming into something inhuman. As the horror intensifies, Carter leads the other survivors on a hellish voyage into the subterranean depths of the hospital in a desperate bid to end the nightmare before it’s too late. Cosmic horror & practical effects what's not to like. You'd be surprised at the things you find when you go looking...

Dagon (2001)
Dagon (2001) is more closely based on H.P. Lovecraft's novella The Shadow Over Innsmouth than on the short story Dagon, as it primarily adapts elements from the former while incorporating aspects of the latter. Still one of the better Lovecraft films out there as it captures the feel & mood of the source material...

Pandorum (2009)
Pandorum has a lot of DNA in common with films like Alien, Event Horizon & Sunshine. The film developing a cult following over time despite its initial box-office disappointment. If into sci-fi its worth a watch if a touch derivative...

Don’t fear the end of the world. Fear what happens next.
Two crew members wake up on an abandoned spacecraft with no idea who they are, how long they’ve been asleep, or what their mission is. The two soon discover they’re actually not alone – and the reality of their situation is more horrifying than they could have imagined.Pandorum has a lot of DNA in common with films like Alien, Event Horizon & Sunshine.
