What are the movies that have both scifi and war elements, and we can agree to be war movies? Some I know: War of the Worlds Independence Day Starship Troopers Battle: Los Angeles And I think Star Wars ones are closer to adventure movies...

"The Box"set during the civil war and "The Citadel"set during ww2 in the Balkans. It starred Jurgen Prochnow,had a nice sdkfz 251.

Edge of Tomorrow is a really good recent sci-fi war film with some very explicit references to contemporary warfare.

Star Wars [8D]

So the clone wars is not really a war?[:D]. I'm sure the Germans thought that "their" tour in Russia was not war but an adventure too! No one was mentioned the terminator movies yet. quote: ORIGINAL: Matti Kuokkanen quote: ORIGINAL: Curtis Lemay Star Wars [8D] Closer to Indiana Jones type adventure than war

Edge is JUST out go see it now.

Wing Commander - not highly recommended War of the worlds And if you aren't hard core about the sci- Fi requirement but can extend to horror/vampires - "The Keep"

aaatoysandmore -> RE: Scifi war movies (6/12/2014 4:10:10 AM)
The Soldier? the one with Kurt Russel?

quote: ORIGINAL: nicwb Wing Commander - not highly recommended Wing Commander is a lot funner if you imagine it's actually a U-boat film in space.

quote: ORIGINAL: gradenko_2000 Edge of Tomorrow is a really good recent sci-fi war film with some very explicit references to contemporary warfare. I saw EoT last weekend and it is very good. I was a bit skeptical because the trailers show the future soldiers using power suits. I thought they might distract me from the story but really they blend right into the background as "equipment" and the story and characters stand right out in front.

jday305 -> RE: Scifi war movies (6/12/2014 9:15:17 PM)
Dune...though not a very good movie compared to the books still have a couple of battle scenes.

nicwb -> RE: Scifi war movies (6/13/2014 7:07:28 AM)
Gradenko - Wing Commander as a boat film set in space? Weird but I guess it can't make it any worse. I'll add to my earlier list: Dr Who and the Dalek invasion of earth Predator -

Saw it today after reading the good reviews online. It was good. Kind of a "Starship Troopers" meets "Aliens" meets "Groundhog Day".

The Matrix Trilogy

Does Iron Sky qualify as war movie?

rodney727 -> RE: Scifi war movies (6/14/2014 6:50:54 PM)
The hitch hikers guide to the galaxy. Best scify war movie of all time![:D]

Kuokkanen -> RE: Scifi war movies (6/30/2014 6:31:45 PM)
This article seems somewhat appropriate for this thread [sm=00000289.gif]

Mobeer -> RE: Scifi war movies (6/30/2014 10:37:21 PM)
Battle beyond the Stars - a version of 7 Samurai in Space Gunbuster (OVA) - lots of fighting, but most interesting because it considers relative time passing for different characters Grave of the Fireflies - if you want to be totally depressed

Qwixt -> RE: Scifi war movies (6/30/2014 11:53:48 PM)
While not a movie, how about "Battlestar Galactica"?

jwarrenw13 -> RE: Scifi war movies (7/1/2014 12:42:55 AM)
Avatar. The movie builds up to a major combat sequence climax.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes. About two commanders from opposing fleets. quote: ORIGINAL: TulliusDetritus quote: ORIGINAL: gradenko_2000 Edge of Tomorrow is a really good recent sci-fi war film with some very explicit references to contemporary warfare. Wow, I have missed this one (I have seen all the others mentioned). IMDB score: 8,2 [X(] That's a LOT. Thanks, to my watch list [&o] I recommend the All you Need is Kill manga which is an adaptation of the novel that Edge of Tommorow was based on. It doesn't have the hollywood stupidity of the move and doesn't have the annoying political correctness.
