I love District 9 for its hard sf value and excellent acting. But I still haven't seen Children of Men which I heard is very good. So no vote from me, at least for now. Great poll btw  ------------- http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/ |

I'm embarrassed to say that of all the above, I have only seen Donnie Darko and Inception.  ------------- https://armchairmaestro.com/" rel="nofollow - My Music Blog |

I�ve only seen Children of Men and Pitch Black. The latter is a bit too much of an action movie for my taste, while the former was pretty interesting but a bit too long. Oh I just remember I�ve also seen Sunshine ( twice as a matter of fact). Very beautiful and ominous movie that one. I don�t nearly see enough movies these days. Don�t really have time. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I just thought I�d share this list. They are not all sci-fi movies but there are some pretty sinister ones among them ( also some sci-fi stuff): http://www.imdb.com/list/1t9qe2TSJ3s/" rel="nofollow - http://www.imdb.com/list/1t9qe2TSJ3s/ ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

^The list reminded me of Moon, very good hard sf movie with great soundtrack by Clint Mansell, worth watching. ------------- http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/ |

A tie between Donnie Darko and V for Vendetta.
Some other good ones are Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and The Science of Sleep by Michel Gondry. |

Damn! I forgot to add Moon! Excellent movie, directed by the son of David Bowie. Shame on me!  |

I actually quite like "Star Trek: Nemesis" from 2002. It's very dark and different.

V For Vendetta....by a country mile. Set in dystopian England and similar in some respects to Orwell's 1984. Famous for this quite incredibly written quote and spoken by "V" (Hugo Weaving) the main character. V: But on this most auspicious of nights, permit me then, in lieu of the more commonplace sobriquet, to suggest the character of this dramatis persona. Sheer brilliance! Watch it if you can ------------- http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112" rel="nofollow - http://www.last.fm/user/colt2112

I think the poll is a faild one (if you plan to have the landmark sci fi movies from the 00s) for not have included Avatar,, you might not like it but it is wha it is. the most spoked and one very important movie in the genre, maybe not storywise but must certanly graphicly and visullay

Since we're on the subject, I've recently read a short story by Poul Anderson and found it suspiciously similar to Avatar. Then I found this: http://www.slashfilm.com/is-james-camerons-avatar-actually-an-uncredited-rewrite-of-a-1957-poul-anderson-story/" rel="nofollow - http://www.slashfilm.com/is-james-camerons-avatar-actually-an-uncredited-rewrite-of-a-1957-poul-anderson-story/ The short story is actually much better than the movie. ------------- http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow - http://shrineofllyria.blogspot.com/ |

^Actually, there's many things very similar to Avatar... but just made before Avatar! Thanks for the link Bartosso! Anyways, Balthamel is right: visually, Avatar is excellent. And still the best movie to utilize the 3D technology. But I've expected more from James Cmeron (a great sci-fi/action filmmaker). |

I wouldn't call V for Vendentta sci-fi. Or Children of Men (loved this one). Equilibrium is a great sci-fi, quite underrated, worth watching).

V for Vendetta is an amazing movie. Love it. Children of Men had a nice dark atmosphere, but it´s not a favorite of mine. Inception was pretty cool. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

They are both dystopian films. Dystopia is not so much a sub-genre but closely related form of fiction to science fiction (like fantasy or horror) so it's not uncommon for such films to be included in sci-fi lists. ------------- Earn Money Online (NOT a scam): https://premium.gg2u.org?referrer=adg211288" rel="nofollow - GG2U https://adamsfilmcorner.quora.com/" rel="nofollow - Adam's Film Corner on Quora |

Went with Inception, but it could have been V for Vendetta also. I'm wondering now if I didn't put my vote in the wrong place. Especially since I just did a double take and the question was best film of the 00's. Inception is the 10's.  District 9 was also very good. Some good ones not on the options are Moon, The Road and Iron Man, if you're willing to count superhero films.
