You might add "They Live" and "The Island" to the watch list if you havent seen. I was not a SciFi fan until a few years ago - guess I had to wait until I believed that it may already be happening to be into it.
Don't forget Logans Run.
Just watched Dark City. Fabulous flick.
I still have the paperback along with Dune and some other good sci fi. Need to revisit!
Villaneuve-directed Dune was supposed to drop Dec 2020, will be this year.
Hope it dodges the curse.

Tx for this☝?
Since you mentioned Dune... any chance you've seen this documentary? Incredible shit: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1935156/
The dude literally inspired almost all major sci fi from a conceptual book to outline the movie he was supposed to make.
No and thank you for the recommendation! Looking forward to watching.
Yes
Also check out Jupiter Ascending, it’s by the same brothers as the matrix trilogy. It has aliens, genetic human/animal transhumans, adrenochrome, and Mila Kunis.
Dang I dugg her, until...
Only the first half of The Island is worth watching. Once they break out, it turns into a very bad hollywood chase movie.
There's lots of movies like this. Sucks that filmmakers have to compromise a good premise like this.
Maybe "Never Let Me Go" is probably a bit closer to what you want? Same premise and much less hopeful.
People forget that, at the end of 1984 (the movie), the Party breaks the main character and this is supposed to be seen as a "good" ending.
Thanks for the suggestion. I feel like it had just enough hope to make you keep watching, only to delicately disappoint. Much less hollywood and feels truer to the premise.
Thanks I will check it out
you are probably right - it has been a while but the premise was great. Maybe someone will remake it with a better ending
Best odds are with an independent studio. Hollywood is a strange beast. I feel like some movies don't get made unless they include lowest denominator crap. "In Time" is another one like that. There are so many. Maybe studios just buy/steal the premise and give it to their puppet directors to finish it off.
