    Stake Land is good fun, and A Boy and His Dog has one of the best endings ever.

    and for what it’s worth I thought Prometheus was perfectly watchable, wish I’d seen it at the cinema for the cinematography. if you ignore the plot holes and any links with the other Alien films it’s really quite alright.
    No it isn’t, even if you can ignore the completely stupid characters, e.g. biologist who gets friendly with an alien vagsnake, catographist who gets lost, the two dopey women running in the shadow of a rolling spaceship (one immediately doing so after having a ceasarian section) it’s still a deeply flawed film. Sorry but it really was a waste of a good opportunity. 2/10.

    ‘The Quiet Earth’ is one of my favourite films, but quite unlike anything else on this thread-

    ‘A Boy and his Dog’ is the one you want 🙂

    haha, I’d forgotten about the self-administered c-section followed by instant recovery.

    New total recall ? Granted it’s not as good as the first but watchable
    Prometheus

    How about TV series Jericho or Falling skies (which starts on c5 next week)

    Children of Men fits the bill too.

    Brilliant recommendations. I would add Silent Running, The Andromeda Strain, Fahrenheit 451, Logan’s Run, The Day The Earth Stood Still, War of the Worlds and When Worlds Collide to this list of classic, thoughtful dystopian/existential sci fi. Ignore remakes and go for originals.

    Brazil should fit the bill nicely

    Stalker or Solaris by Tarkovsky. Both an acquired taste I admit but beautiful, haunting masterpieces IMO.

    Another vote for Children of Men

    TV series rather than films, but how about the original (Terry Nation?) series of Survivors. And I think there was a pretty good verison of Day of the Triffids in the 1980s (Channel 4?)

    And the 1979 Thames TV series “Quatermass”
