7. Could you name a "good" science fiction movie, for comparison?

Grabbers was ok, at least for the parts through which I was able to stay awake. Strikes me as more of a horror comedy than a science fiction film anyway.

2001 is more or less unanimously identified as the cinematic pinnacle of the genre, even 4+ decades later. Interesting that you would identify it as "laughably bad."

You are welcome to your opinion, of course, but I suspect that you might be pursuing an aesthetic that is alien to most fans of the genre.
