Default Sci Fi 4k

I've been getting into Space/Future/Time Travel/Alien movies a lot lately (probably trying to escape the current time period for a while haha). What are your favorite Sci-Fi's from your list? Looking to expand my "horizons" a bit...

The Matrix trilogy, Alita, and Jupiter Ascending make for some pretty impressive 4K discs.

There is not that much on this format unfortunately but my ten favorites are Ready Player One, Pacific Rim, Assassin's Creed, Star Trek: Into Darkness, Alien: Covenant, T2, Terminator Salvation, Prometheus, Pacific Rim: Uprising, Rogue One. I didn't include the comic-book movies as those aren't primarily sci-fi. Honorable mentions to Mortal Engines, Star Trek, Ad Astra, Predators and Blade Runner 2049.

MANY of the ones listed already...I also personally really like the new Planet of the Apes trilogy. The Matrix of course is a no brainer. Interstellar is pretty great too. Bumblebee is fun as well!

From the top of my mind recall and in no particular order:

2001
Inception
Matrix
5th Element
Blade Runner
Brazil (though not available in 4K iirc but Criterion has a relatively nice version)
1984 (the Criterion version)
Metropolis (not on 4k yet)
Martian

You're right; Alien is so good, it deserves to be on my list twice.

My 4k sci-fi collection:

Movies I'd seen before owning in 4k:
2001
Alien
Blade Runner
Blade Runner 2049
Close Encounters
Fifth Element
Independence Day
Knowing
Mad Max: Fury Road
Matrix
Men in Black 1-3
Rogue One
Star Wars: Last Jedi

Movies I had not seen before purchasing:
Arrival
Bumblebee
Hunger Games 1-4
Inception
Men in Black: International
Pacific Rim
Planet of the Apes 1-3 (Dawn, Rise, War)
Ready Player One
Serenity

The weakest movies are MiB 2 and MiB: International. But 2 came as a set and my wife wanted to see International and it was dirt cheap on Black Friday.

Everything else ranged from good to excellent both in terms of the movie itself and the 4k presentation.
