brakes - Memberand 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.
Empty Earth is worth a watch on You Tube
Pandorum's on Netflix, best film you've never heard of
'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.

Yes, done a medical computer bizarrely only programmed for men! WHY!? 😆
Yeah Pandorum is good too
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)
Stake Land was good, go for it!
Plus one on Twelve Monkeys.
Children of Men fits the bill too.
Monsters.
Serenity.

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.
Yes!Monsters
Stop resisting - you may damage your credit rating.Brazil should fit the bill nicely
A little bit older and quite Matrix like in terms of action but I really like Equilibrium
Day of the Dead is bleak bleak bleak. You might enjoy that!?
City Of Lost Children.
What about the Romero stuff - originals and remakes?
Mad Max and Road Warrior!!! 
Avoid the 3rd Thundercrap one, though... 😡
And maybe Robocop?
Stalker or Solaris by Tarkovsky. Both an acquired taste I admit but beautiful, haunting masterpieces IMO.
I love this about Prometheus (spoilers):
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"
