The Fountain (2006)
A man travels through time on a quest for immortality and to save the woman he loves. As a 16th-century conquistador, he searches for the legendary Fountain of Youth. As a present-day scientist, he desperately struggles to cure the cancer that is killing his wife. And finally, as a 26th-century astronaut in deep space, he begins to grasp the mysteries of life, love and death. At the time, The Fountain was considered “pretencious” and “confusing,” but now after popular movies like Interstellar and Arrival, audiences are used to interwoven stories and profound questions.

#3 IMDB save me from what appears to be a significantly torturous experience. A few of these are OK and one is outstanding: #8 . Buyer beware of this list.

The Abyss was great for it's time (despite being an apparently horrible experience for the stars from what I've read)

Treasure Planet and Dark City are both amazing movies that it seems like no one has heard of

Event Horizon was a one trick pony that lost steam:"Oh, right. Portal to Hell. Okay, everyone gets dead then."
High Life? Go read the plot and then try to imagine why noone went to see.....wont take you lone
Treasure Planet is just not very good. It's not terrible but it's also not good. Even Disney didn't know what to do with it.
Cube is a ridiculously awful movie that doesn't know what it is. It's NOT sci fi. It's a dull and pointless film that quickly becomes repetitive and hard to watch because none of the characters are either interesting or likeable. "Oh no, we are trapped in this maze made by *mumble mumble* to *mumble mumble* reasons Shut up and stop asking questions. This is what I think sci fi is".
Primer: the third reference to that film in two weeks, gonna have to watch it.
Abyss. Long winded and over stays its welcome but decent enough.
Source Code is sci fi popcorn.
Annihilation......look, the problem with Annihilation is this......it has Natalie Portman in it and Natalie is the thinking man's sexy babe and the film kinda forgot what the story was and we all left confused as to what the hell we just watched. To quote Peter Griffin:"It insists on itself". It's the film equivalent to that guy in the Cafe who wears a beret and a scarf and carries Proust with him......he is trying SOOOOO HARD to be seen as an intellectual.......
Titan AE got missed.
Jonny Mnemonic
Starship Troopers MAYBE.
Let's do a list of 80s Sci fi next but make a list of GOOD science fiction. Not Star wars rip-offs or Alien rip-offs but GOOD sci fi that has stood thd test of time.

Never watch any Natalie Portman movie after the year 2010. She's turned into an insufferable tool, carping about the struggle of women and sexism, while she made a career off sex appeal, starting off with that creepy lolita movie The Professional. Her and her parents both knew exactly what they were doing. She is the ultimate hypocrite.

#2 I liked it back in the day and even now. It was different and strange.
#6 I thought it interesting at the time and it is the only time that I've seen anyone actually try and depict liquid ventilation on screen. We were experimenting with it back in the 90s and it showed promise back then.
#15 I remember this one and it wasn't bad.

Love it or hate it, I always liked Stargate. It's a little dated now, but I thought it was pretty cool when it came out.
