Do you consider THX-1138 "same old same old?"

Ex Machina, Predestination, Source Code and Looper are all good sci-fi movies with a fairly original premise.

Less well known recent sci-fi movies I liked are Coherence, The Signal, Timecrimes, Blindness, and Europa Report.

Moon 44 is a cool little outer space science fiction flick made by Roland Emmerich, who went on to make Independence Day.

OK, ignoring the bigger names, which I assume you've seen already, here are some suggestions:

Snow Piercer is on netflix and is pretty good. Predestination (yes, ok, The book was better) is worth a watch. Just rewatched Dark City recently, so that's on my mind. Brazil was mentioned, definitely out there and a cut above. Moon is pretty recent and didn't really get the credit it deserved. Along those lines, Pandorum was alright, had a budget. Forbidden Planet is an oldie, and if you can get past the animation style, tells a really interesting tale.

I'll check out Brazil, I've seen the rest. Predestination was cool. Great movie imo.

I loved snowpiercer - I went into it not expecting anything, and was completely blown away.

There are two on Netflix right now I would recommend. Primer and Transfer.

Both movies are best watched if you know nothing about them before you watch them. I will tell you, they are both quiet movies. Not a lot of action. Primer will require some thought to follow along.

Automata: Robot Freedom

Knights of Sadonia: Anime series, haven't watched the second season yet, but the first was quite good

Black Mirror: BBC Twilight Zone like show

Primer: Realistic look at time travel and how mind bending it is, tends to take more than one viewing

Troll Hunter: Fantasy (cause there are trolls) but very well done, Documentary/found footage style movie

... all on netflix

edit: Formating

I tried to get into Knights of Sedonia, but honestly when I saw mechs I was somewhat turned off. Should I suck it up and give it a real go?

Oh my, you have to watch season 2 of Knights of Sidonia, I can't wait for season 3 if they follow the Manga story line (I made a subverse for the series/Manga...I'm the only one there:( ).
