Best sounding Sci-Fi films

[Dunebuggy]

District 9
Cloverfield
Children of Men

[Frank S.]

Star Trek
Super 8

[LimpyLoo]

I always loved the screams (or whatever it was) of those creatures in War of the Worlds.

[Lindsay]

Solaris (soderberg version) for the awesome cliff Martinez soundtrack
Blade Runner (as above vangelis)
Alien - narrative based sounds
There is more than likely some astonishing sound design in animae, Ghost In The Shell etc

[charles maynes]

Terminator II
The Matrix

[metaldude55]

Tron
Fifth Element
Event Horizon

Hannah on Blue Ray.

Multichannel is pretty amazing. Chemical Brothers soundtrack. Great LFE. Overall very good.

Fifth Element is a classic.


District 9

Watchmen is really really good.

The newest Star Trek if your into that scene.

[PeterN]

Definitely the Star Trek films. They're also setting benchmarks in terms of animation. Look at the (new) poor Star Wars films. Then the difference will become visible and audible.

Terminator 2

District 9

Moon (very nice to hear a less overt/OTT rendering of scifi!)

Absolutely! This and the use of miniatures vs CGI really make this movie stand out.

"Sunshine" (year 2007)
"Renegade"by Jan Kounen, although is not Sci-Fi at all but a 20 minutes drugs illusions scene is impressive as stand alone Sci-fi experience.
