Can I ask why have moderators if blatant harassment doesn't get dealt with?
MMO-Champion
Even though these not my usual go to movies when I'm looking for something to watch, I think I've seen most of the big titles that have come out this century.
And since tomorrow is my turn to pick one out, I was hoping the MMO Champion community might have a few ideas. It would also be nice if you could include a short description why you think the movie or movies you have listed is worth watching.
So anyway, rules..
-has to be made after 2000
-can't be thriller or one of those confusing mysteries where someone says (s)he's alien who has come looking for love or some such but it's never made clear and they might just be crazy.
-moderate or large budget, high quality movie
-cant be animated
-has to be made in US or co op.
-cant have any spiritual or "deep" stuff in a la Butterfly Effect.

Star Trek (2009)
Trailer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SyJszxnJydA
Great acting and directing, and the actors really fit their parts well. Even if you're not a big star trek fan I would recommend this film. Lots of action and a great story that brings the original enterprise crew together.
With the new film (Star Trek: Into Darkness) being released in may, now is a good time to watch it if you've not seen it before.

You've seen most big titles, yet you want us to suggest a blockbuster? xD
I'm just going to assume that you've seen Avatar, Alien vs predator, Predator then?
Anyways; Robot & Frank was a pretty good movie. It's not science fiction per se but it does have some futuristic elements.
Robot & Frank isn't an action movie with exploding cars and whatnot, instead it's a heartwarming and fun comedy/drama. You learn to love the main characters from get go and you just want to see how their relationship progresses throughout the movie. Don't be fooled though, it's not a cuddly, naive movie with all fun and laughter. It was a good watch and I highly recommend it.
Now, if we're talking about expensive effects, cute damsels in distress and evil masterminds then I'll have to say, Jumper. It's a great lighthearted movie that feeds you all the science fiction you crave without inconveniencing you with a deep and mysterious plot. As the title says, it's about Jumpers. Not the boring ones in computers but people who can Jump/teleport anywhere they like as long as they've seen the area they are "Jumping" to. There's not much more to say about it. It's just a good action Sci-Fi flick for those hungover sunday's.

I loved Avatar, War of the Worlds and most disaster movies though.

How about district 9? Although that might fail your made in America label test. Good movie, laughs and sci-fi.

Event horizon, it's 1997 though but really good.

Edit: There is no loose ends in this movie so it's not that type of mindfuck.
Who didn't? Visually amazing movies! * Faint whispering runs through the air...Independence day* xDI loved Avatar, War of the Worlds and most disaster movies though.Last edited by mmoc098be2d235; 2013-03-23 at 01:45 PM.

The Core, quite a bad movie, but fits what you seem to want, Disaster movie, Sci-Fi and big budget.

Uh, John Carter?
At least the visuals are nice.You see, there's this thing called "aggro". It's a very complicated, very technical roleplaying expression.
Loosely translated, it means "the priest dies".

2013-03-23, 01:48 PM #13DeletedNo, and I have to apologize Originally Posted by Jevlin
I haven't seen the movie, I got it mixed with Looper. Soo.. probably got a winner here (I really like both Bruce Willis and Joseph Gordon-Levitt). Also seen Moon twice. My ex bf liked it so he made me watch it, lol. It wasn't too bad though, especially considerign the low budget. Seen Independence day too. It was ok, I guess.

How about looper?
JGL and Bruce Willis are pretty good in this movie. I really enjoyed it.
Its set in the future and stuff about time travel

Loopers and Source Code - fucking awesome.
Repo men - not as good but also very enjoyable.
they all have a thriller/mystery aspect to it tho.

2013-03-23, 02:05 PM #20DeletedSome movies just have that feel to them. You feel like a child on Christmas morning watching both Avatar and previously mentioned. Originally Posted by Lizbeth
