Looking for some good sci-fi space movies with lots of colorful scenes/eye candy. I got a LCD TV in Nov. and have been re-watching some sci-fi movies like star wars. In Attack of the Clones the scene where they're going through the asteroid field was a great colorful scene, as well as the crashing scene in Pitch Black. Would like to rent a few movies (or documentary) with lots of of colorful space scenes. Thanks in advance.
You know something? I keep thinking of the HD version of all of your suggestions shown on movie channels. Every one mentioned has been shown in HD...wierd...
Hated event horizon. Probably would suggest Fifth Element. Waking Life might be of interest to some for color.
Originally posted by ChrisMcCarthy Nuts, Flash Gordon is not yet out on DVD, oh well.
Flash Gordon was indeed released on dvd in Region 1 back in 2000, but is has been OOP for quite some time...the title can still be found used, but is not worth overpaying for as the transfer is poor.
Event Horizon is available, but the transfer is non-anamorphic and also looks dreadful.
The Superbit versions of Starship Troopers, and The Fifth Element, along with Pitch Black-Unrtaed Directors Cut are must buys.
I would also recommend the following;
Lost in Space-one of the better looking earlier releases.
Farscape...one of the best sci-fi series out on disc.
CQ - Colors are absolutely stunning. It's a mock 60's film that tells the story of a filmmaker who's making a 60's space film. Huh? Anyway, it's worth a rent. It's different.
