star wars is unironically really the only worthwhile "serious" space opera there is, all the other watchable ones are turbo campy crap like the 1980s Flash Gordon, or for that matter the original 1930s Flash Gordon

pitch black + riddick maybe

based x400

Ziltoid or Z2 are the best space operas there are

>Space opera
You mean when they sing and stuff?

actually wait, there's also The Fifth Element and the original Star Trek movies

beyond that, you're either looking at outright comedies (like Galaxy Quest), fever dreams that are so bad they're good (Dune, Ice Pirates), or just plain bad (Jupiter Ascending, Guardiands of the Galaxy)

I know you said movie but tv probably has more/better space-opera content for you.

legend of galactic heroes i guess is the best one if you can stomach animu

FLASH GORDON APPROACHING

>Guardiands of the Galaxy
>bad
HAVE S

John Carter, though technically it's planetary romance.

Guardians of the Galaxy is comparatively watchable by the standards of modern scifi films and capeshit movies, but it's a 5/10 popcorn flick timekiller at best

TITAN AE is a pretty good pastiche of Doc Smith's space opera pulps.

Enemy Mine
The Last Starfighter
Battle Beyond the Stars

Space Battleship Yamato live action movie

Valerian

Not a really lot of movies with legit planet-hopping, most producers aren't brave (or rich) enough to try to create multiple distinct planets.

Lost In Space
Per Aspera Ad Astra
Barbarella
This Island Earth
Enemy Mine
The Black Hole
The Last Starfighter
Chronicles of Riddick
Forbidden Planet

All sort of fufill your requirements and haven't been mentioned yet, though they only involve one or two planets and/or interstellar distances.
Also there are many and varied types of suckage attached to each.

LoGH

Well I'll take TV shows as well honestly. Most of this thread has been movies I'm familiar with, and most of them are pretty terrible.

You do realise that's OPs img right?

>varied types of suckage attached to each

Don't expect spaceship battles or anything but this one has a lot of camp and travelling across planets

looks lke both battlestar and lucas should sue

when were you planning on telling me you had space herpes!?!?

gundam was so fucking rad

I discovered Farscape a couple years back and fell instantly in love.

I rarely check this board nowadays, so I missed it.
Same, tho part of first season is just weird

farscape was amazing. i will always hate stargate for existing, since scifi channel only chose to keep one of those shows going, and chose stargate instead of farscape.

Nope, bro, Stargate SG-1 is my fav show and Farscape is the second place.

Btw, any torrents to Peacekeeper Wars?

What do you mean...Flash Gordon approaching?

LiS: movie > old series > new series

Is that it’s like fighting the Eldar?

I agree with this

There was a new series? You mean when they started filming in color?

the one that came out a year or so ago, it was...ok

Ice pirates was meant to be cheesy fun and succeeds in its aim. The rest of your post I agree with though.

How about more like Flesh Gordon? (Can't be assed to find a pic)

>since scifi channel only chose to keep one of those shows going, and chose stargate instead of farscape.
The death of Farscape as more political than that. Sci-Fi was in the process of becoming SyFy and the direction was headed towards "appealing to women". Farscape was seen as too "male oriented" and got the ax. Yes, that shit was already starting back in the early 2000s.

that looks like shit

I think of all the sci-fi kids growing up in the 40s, 50s, 60, 70s, and 80s. All of them imagining this amazing future. Then I think of where we are. Fuck this future.

Riddick films.
However, the first one, "Pitch Black", stands alone, towering over the rest of them. It's good. Watch it. Don't expect the sequels to make sense.
The sequels have ideas above their ability to convey them, being more dumb action schlock. Necromongers come off as fucking larpers in a bad fantasy film. The film-makers fail to show the scale of things, and CGI is pretty dire at times.

nigga he asked for a space opera, if you're gonna post anime at least post LoGH

>too male oriented

lol what?

My gf really liked it and she hates scifi. She said she liked the character interactions.

IIRC some exec decided that women didn't like puppets.

he didn't fly so good

why would she shoot a man after throwing him out of a plane?

Because he had a lotta loyalty for a hired gun

Takes more skill than shooting him before throwing him off a plane.

now is not the time for logic that comes later

Not sure if it counts, but it has space in it with some drama if you want a hook for it terrorists win in the end
