Gattaca

Great movie and it's every single bit as relevant today if not more so.

All that genetic engineering shite is going to happen eventually.

A lot of good mentions already.

Oblivion is a good one, because it's fairly well known, but it is actually a top tier science fiction film.

I think we've all said Sunshine is a Top 10 science fiction film.... until the last 20 min.

No mention of Dark City, but that definitely fits the bill.

If we're throwing out slightly more under the radar stuff - I find Source Code to be underrated. And Upgrade, in the same boat. B-Tier film but definitely underrated.

Coherence is my pick for something slightly more obscure. Love that movie in a Primer sort of way.

It may stretch the the definition, but I think Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was exceptionally well done.

It wasn't underrated when it came out, but you rarely see it mentioned anymore.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence - Spielberg’s retelling of Pinocchio - gets better every time I rewatch.
The scene where his adoptive mother dumps him in the woods like an unwanted kitten gets me every time.

100% was the first title I thought of.

For some reason, I was reading about it again this week and thought about starting a thread.

Not all of the below movies are underrated, but the younger generation might not have seen some of the older movies. Examples of old: 2001 A Space Odyssey, The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951).

K-PAX
Source Code
Predestination (Someone recommended it earlier in the week on Tiger Droppings. I watched it and will watch again. Thanks!)
Æon Flux
Serenity (Movie version of Firefly with the TV cast.)

I have DVDs of all of the above except Predestination. Watched Valerian once again earlier this morning and have Lucy loaded and ready for a re-watch. Just need to hit the play button after changing some settings.
