Inspired by the linked XKCD. Using 60% instead of 50% because that’s an easy filter to apply on rottentomatoes.
I’ll go first: I think “Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows” was awesome, from the plot to the characters ,and especially how they used screen-play to highlight how Sherlocks head works in these absurd ways.
Apollo 18. It just has the atmosphere, sense of isolaton and impending doom.
Also Life which is thematically similar, but higher production value.
And in the same vein, Europa Report, though it has critic score of 80. One of the best hard sci-fi films ever.
Almost forgot Pandorum—that one was decent, too.
As was Prometheus (I know biologists and geologists IRL, studied biology myself—the films depiction of these folks is spot on!).
I really enjoyed Europa Report. Didn’t know it was so lowly scored by the audience.
