Saw two reasonably unknown scifi movies, but both were more than a bit good to be honest. I love how lack of a giant hollywood budget doesn't mean shitty special effects these days - and pretty much guarantees a decent plot and ditto acting
Monsters 8/10
Reporter gets the unusual assignment to take the daughter from one of his superiors from mexico to the US, right through the alien infected zone that is northern mexico. Not really an alien invasion type movie, more a roadtrip where the invasion plays out as a background story. Also, coolest alien invasion ever, they're just animals and plants mostly.
Pandorum 7/10
People waking up from stasis sleep in their spaceship in the wrong order entirely, and everything is a goddamn mess. Everyone who wakes up has severe memory function issues, but it doesn't take long to find out Earth has been destroyed, the reactor is about to go boom, scary barbarians are on the loose and the flight crew appears to have been eaten for the most part. The rest of the film is about finding out what the hell happened.
