| shio said: That's an awful list. It's like IGN just researched the most acclaimed Sci-fi movies, then played raffle with them. The 2 biggest mistakes that I can see in there is: - A complete raffle of some of the most acclaimed Sci-fi movies. - Why in the hell did they put Avatar in there?! The movie's just mediocre. - Why is Brazil so low?! One of the most unique and brilliant movies I've ever seen. - No Star Wars movie should be in the top ten. - I also wouldn't put some of the older movies so high, or even on the list. It's true that some aspects of them are timeless, but cinematics, sound, and many other qualities have evolved beyond them. 'A Clockwork Orange' is an example of this: you can't deny the impact of it's violence and social constructs, but the cinematics and camera work in the movie is incredibly outdated, making it's age appear in an obvious manner. |
You're kidding me on A Clockwork Orange, right? Outdated camera work? The film remains more innovative and interesting in its camera and composition than pretty much any film released recently. The opening steadycam shot of Alex alone outclasses most modern films poor editing and composition.
Agree on Brazil and Avatar and Star Wars though, so hopefully the Clockwork Orange comments are just a blip.
EDIT: and you mention Gattaca, etc. which is also spot on! You've got to be kidding about Clockwork.
Try to be reasonable... its easier than you think...
