I think I wont exaggerate if I say that Sunshine (2007) is a must watch... I loved this film.
Cloverfield (2008) also a good film, handy-cam first person all the time thru film adds to the thrill plus very well made all around.
The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008), nice but don't expect too much. This film have some gaps to fill... but if you are in non-pretense sci-fi you should be ok.

I'll write some more titles as I remember them 8-) .

Two more...

For you that are into zombie/future doomed sci-fi's there is one you shouldn't miss;

Image

28 Weeks Later (2007). It is somewhat better than 28 Days Later (similar concept). Both very well worth seeing.

For you purists and higher budgets sci-fi aimers outhere, The Prestige (2006) will probably ring the bell, first class actors as well.

Got this and 28 days later in a two pack for $15 just aboot the best $15 i have spent in a while, but those goddam kids :twisted: horror/thrillers end up just getting me a bit po'd rather than scared just at the shear incompetence of the characters
