[paidelr]

Minority Report

I, Robot

The Island

What are yours?

[Tarheels.]

V For Vendetta

[tristy]

Back To The Future

[Liam]

The Running Man

Starship Troopers

...thats if they are both set in the future...

[Summers]

TIME COP: THE BERLIN DECISION.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Alien

Battle Royale (well kinda)

Minority Report

I'm not a big viewer of future films....

[Dingle]

Back to the Future and The Matrix (kinda).

[Guest Bluesman]

I find the lack of love for Johnny Nuemonic very disturbing, even more so than my inability to spell it.

[damhausen]

Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan

Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home

Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country

Star Trek First Contact

If you count them as action... which I tend not to. But "action freaks" also like Star Trek sometimes.

[BlackFlagg]

The Fifth Element

[Ash J. Williams]

V For Vendetta...best movie I've seen all year. (I know it's early in the year yet, but only X3 and Clerks 2 could top it...they might)

[damhausen]

Technically V for Vendetta took place in 1997 and 1998. But since they don't state the year it is happening in the movie I guess it's legit as a "futuristic" film.

[Mysterio2000X]

Equilibrium. (Y)

Mad Max. (Y)

[Mick]

Total Recall

Predator 2 (It says it takes place in 1997, seeing how the film was released in what, 90, 91...)

Escape From New York

Escape From LA (Both take place 16 years after the year they are released)

Mad Max

Mad Max 2

The Time Machine (both versions)

...Where's all the love for Planet of the Apes?

To be picky, only one of the Back To The Future films took place in the future...

[Mysterio2000X]

...Where's all the love for Planet of the Apes?

[TheCrippler]

Blade Runner.

End of dscussion.

[GoGo Yubari]

What, no Adventures of Pluto Nash? Shaaaaame.

[YI]

Until 2 years ago, Transformers The Movie. Oh yeah. You know it was badass. I have all on Gen 1 on DVD too...it's class.

[Guest muddatrucker]

Escape From New York

Escape From LA (Both take place 16 years after the year they are released)

[Mick]

Escape From New York

Escape From LA (Both take place 16 years after the year they are released)

Are they actually any good?

New York is, LA is more or less the same exact thing as NY only with different actors and set in the ruins of Los Angeles.

New York is awesome though. Kurt Russell, Donald Pleasence, Lee Van Cleeft, Issac Hayes, Ernest Borgnine, Harry Dean Stanton....

LA only really had Russell, Pam Grier and Steve Buscemi.

[ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster]

Equilibrium. (Y)

Mad Max. (Y)

Yeah Equilibrium! Amazing film!

[ClaRK! Kent]

Blade Runner.

Battle Royale.

And anything bastardised from Aasimov (sp?) - ie: iRobot, and Bicentennial Man for the kids.

Poor old Planet of the Apes, such a terrible remake. It was on channel 4 the other week, with the trailer claiming it was "from the imagination of Tim Burton."

Yes, it was really imaginative how he nicked the concept and fucked it up.

[Pepsi]
