I remember it being the better of the two open world cowboy games that came out that year.
Sharknado is exactly what it says on the tin
I can never get in to Sharknado.
It just… sucks.
Like I get that it’s supposed to be corny and stupid, but I like my corny and stupid to be a function of the creators incompetence and a $257 budget most spent on aluminum foil.
Like the movie “Independents Day” (yes, ents and not ence).
In fairness, so is Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”.
Sharknado VR was worth the money I spent on it (it was on a 50% sale, so I only paid 50 cents)
best science-fiction film ever made
Idk about that buddy
We can debate the top rankings, but Alien is in the pantheon for sure. It's practically flawless as a movie. You could argue for 2001, or Blade Runner, or Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But you would have to at least compare those to Alien to prove they're better in some way.
All of those except Alien could be argued to have pacing problems.
Pfft no, 2001 is perfect. Every time I’ve watched it I’ve been high af, and I fall asleep for a few min at a time throughout it, and I don’t miss anything at all!
I certainly wouldn’t want to watch it sober, though.
Upvoted simply for the concept of "it's only good if you're high" that was a ridiculously boring, shitty movie.
Try it high ;) you might feel different!

Ahem....Aliens
Aliens is quite possibly the most perfect sequel to any movie ever. Rocky II, Terminator 2, Godfather Part 2, Empire Strikes Back, it's up there with the best of the best.
What makes Alien/Aliens special is that they are entirely different movies. Different styles, different feel, and almost an entirely different cast. All those other excellent sequels were continuations of the story, using characters and settings established in the first film. You start with Godfather Part 2, and you'll be almost entirely lost with who is who and why you should care. You can go into Aliens entirely blind, and you'll still get like 90% of the enjoyment. Watching Alien improves the experience, but is actually unnecessary.
And that's part of why it's so good. You should watch Alien, not just for the backstory on Aliens but because it's an amazing standalone film.
It woulda been cool to get some more sequels, but alas...

Honestly, there's also "The Thing" which is also as simple as it gets.
This is my vote as well. And it fits the prompt!
Yeah but that was actually good.
Here's The Thing...
Nah man, that's just a dog.
It's certainly in the running, the first two are basically perfect movies
You know what a gun is. A lethal weapon
It’s not so much a sci-fi film as a horror film in a sci-fi setting.
Is that like saying Star Trek is more of a Western show with a sci-fi setting?
Event Horizon is a horror film in a sci-fi setting. Alien is a sci-fi set in a horror situation.
What makes something a sci-fi film?
The science in the film is fiction. Like jump drives, FTL, or interstellar travel in general, laser zappers and swords, consciousness transfer, etc.

I heard it was Top Gun. :^}
Yeah well it's called 'heat'
It is, the Gun is just Naked (the OG trilogy.)
They misspelled “The Thing.”
"Shoot em Up". ?
It's always bothered me that someone went and called their band "Death", but I find it difficult to articulate why.
Death kicks ass, though.
Politicians in my eyes!
Aliens are not a core element of science fiction. It should be named Future

Bullet was a pretty good movie.
