Sunshine was very kino, although the horror elements in the ending kinda hamstrung the story
2001 maybe
2001 takes place entirely within the solar system tho
2001 had its charm and was a work of art, but the sequences where being in space and doing space stuff was intentionally made boring were super fricking aids, even the author got butthurt at those elements.
the exercise sequence, and the landing on that moon base thing was intensely boring and im whiter than you mutt. I do have ADHD however, but at least i watched the entire fricking thing, more than i can say for 90% of people i know.
i've watched and enjoyed plenty of slow films in the past, and i've read more books than pretty much anyone i know, fun books, but still. Dont sperg out at obvious problems with the film, when the author literally gets soo mad watching it at the premier he's reduced to tears, there's problems with the film.
I'd have loved to see the version of it finished properly, without the budget cuts that forced him to make the ending a hackjob.
Space travel is literally useless, probes and satellites can go far because they're small. Any vessel to hold humans would be too big to travel at that speed. The tiniest rock that hits it will compromise the entire spaceship
Yeah there's no reason to have a manned ship traveling across the galaxy, with all the complications that entails. Realistically we'll probably use Von Neumann probes; simple, efficient, self-replicating and cheap.
>i have never read a sci-fi novel >what are shields? what are deterrence/debris lasers?
in high school i stumbled across a very scientifically plausible sci-fi short story where the human ship had a reflective shield that simply reflects anything that hits it at an L angle to the speed of light, destroying both it and protecting the ship, so long as you can maintain the shield indefinitely and power it, you're free to sail the galaxy.
Contact, starring Jodi Foster and Matthew McConaughey, with a bunch of "that guy"s (Sully from A Perfect Storm, the sheriff from Picket Fences, narrator from The Storyteller, James Woods). Written by Carl Sagan, and not a marketing team trying to write a script that appeals to as many people as possible.
The only problem is the movie shits itself in the final act when we find out the alien was her dad all along. We go from awesome, introspective sci-fi about the human condition to an Agatha Christie flick.
Expanse has a lot of good "space big" stuff. It takes weeks and months just to get around the solar system. Ships fly thousands of miles apart. They're preparing a generation ship to spend over a century traveling to the nearest habitable system. And only finding an alien wormhole system is going to allow humans to get anywhere in space in a realistic time frame.

>intentionally made boring
it's only boring if you aren't white

>I do have ADHD however
all you had to say

>I do have ADH
dont reproduce.

that's the point. it's in a place so close to us on the cosmic scale, yet poignantly communicates the massive distances and total isolation involved
2001 on mushrooms. Do it.
this is all fake and gay
Nah man, all planets and stars are just balls neatly lined up on a celestial being's basement bench
What do you need to do to get this big? Realistically speaking.
Intermittent fasting
Space roids
>no ancalgon the black
>no op's mom
Event Horizon
Aniara
especially the ending reveal
Someone recommend this to me the other day but I don't usually listen because he has shit taste on everything most of the time. Is it really kino?
NTA it's very bleak and depressing. Worth a watch if you like slow burn psychological horror.
You won't like it if you're a man.
How big is Texas for comparison?

That's why they send vessels with DNA all over the place.
this already happened, it's why aliens all look pretty much the same as us
aldebran got blown up tho
Gunbuster, unironically.
Kino about sending probes to Uranus?
>the insane gigamaxxing once you leave our solar system.
Reminds me of that graphic of Tolkein's dragons
Are we the manlets of the universe...
Nearly, but not quite. Fortunately we have those single cell manlets on Mars the soibois got excited about a few years ago to.
Wait, what?
you did see the delegates from venus being interviewed a few months ago, right?
Thats a big star

forgot to post the poster, so everyone can be sure what I am talking about.

did you even watch the movie lol?
