10 Sci-fi Movies That Probably shouldn't have ever been made

I thought it was a great concept with poor delivery.

That about sums it up.

The Thing from Another World is the film that made John Carpenter want to make movies. He still loves it, and it's grown in reputation over the years. It's now considered a masterpiece of sci-fi/horror. I don't think that, but it's well-worth watching. It's very modern filmmaking in many ways.

Just as a little hint you're really not going to appreciate my next review that I'll be posting tomorrow.

I love this movie. I like the John Carpenter remake as well, but I grew up with this one.


Dr. Carrington: "I doubt if we'll find anything we call an engine."



Five minutes later...



Dr. Carrington: "That last explosion was the engine."

the only film which shouldn't be on the list is Equilibrium, very solid film.
alien resurrection was too much straight forward sillyness, no story,cliched....

Just checked in here to make sure BATTLEFIELD EARTH was on the list.

I love those old sci fi movies. I'd say for its time the thing was pretty good.

Also plan 9 from outer space must fit into the so bad that its good category.

Equilibrium is awesome and Looper is very good.

Well I don't know if you saw it or not but it was Equilibrium that I was talking about. It may not be a brilliant film but I've got a lot of love for it. I'd agree with a few of the others you listed though Slob, especially the Day the Earth Stood Still remake. Surely a film has made a mistake when it actually has you rooting for the destruction of all of humanity.

My Equilibrium review for anyone interested - Equilibrium review

I am highly disappointed Highlander II: The Quickening did not make the list!

It's not good enough for this list.

If there is ONE sci fi film that should NEVER have been made it is Highlander II, the quickest way to Butt **** a franchise!

Indeed. I considered putting Equilibrium in my top 200. It's rather silly and too unsubtle but it's great fun.
