But then, I haven't paid much attention to those sci-fi movies from THIS
century.

I didn't count how many of them I have seen; most of those are
well-known, but /Upstream Color/ may not be.

The /Brazil/ image was omitted in the "Director's Cut" because Gilliam
no longer understood it. This may explain /The Zero Theorem/, whose
ending was because he thought his audience would expect something like
that. (Both assertions are from my memory of documentaries on the
DVDs, and can safely be taken with a large grain of salt).

(I am sick and tired of carefully choosing a movie, paying $10 or so,
and STILL being very let down 25% or so of the time. So I rely mostly on
any movies I can get for FREE. The library has thousands, after all.)

I gave up on that a decade or more ago. My disappointment with films
that /looked/ OK but turned out to be was more like 100%. I went to
Red Box, but then got into online. I do pay for some films -- but not
$10, I have a limit of my own choosing -- on Amazon. I haven't been
inside a theater for a long long time, and never expect to be in one
again.

On the plus side, I have seen a /lot/ of small films, some of them
very much worth seeing or even buying on disc. And, more recently, a
fair number of films from other countries, which can be very
entertaining as well.
