Watched pic related and liked how it was essentially a Western in space, looking for similar movies.

Another film from this micro genre.
Liam Watson
Outland is a great one.
Daniel Richardson
The Sean Connery film? Peter Boyle was really fun in that and now I want a shotgun with a birds head grip.

Outland is the only one I know of.
Try The Expanse or Firefly too, thought technically they are TV.
Ian Gonzalez
A physicist's life-long work comes to fruition when he is reluctantly partnered with a gifted young assistant. Ego divides them when they receive an unknown signal from space.
Kevin Perry
Speaking of small budgeted, weird, and underrated kino, how did everyone like Beyond the Black Rainbow?
Evan Richardson
Firefly is in that genre if you enjoy TV at all, it's only 1 season so not much of a time commitment.

I've been looking for a browning 2000 to SBS for forever

In “Young Ones” the main character has an Enfield with a shotgun positioned underneath the Enfield barrel, one of the more interesting guns I’ve seen in a post apocalyptic movie.
Colton Baker
I liked Firefly, though I’m generally allergic to Whedon, I tried the Expanse, but couldn’t get into it.
Chase Hall
I thought Mandy was a bit better(though I’m not sure I could articulate why), BtBR was really, really cool though, very interested in anything that guy directs from now on.

>Archaeo-Future Sci Fi
Spoonfeed a fool on what this means?

“Archaic Future”, as in there’s some stuff that’s high tech and some things that are more primitive and low tech than what we currently have. It’s a political term popularized by right wing French political thinkers, I was borrowing it to describe these movies. For instance, in “Prospect” they have space travel, but no tablets or cell phone analogs and still read paper books and one of the main characters talks like a 1800’s cowboy lawyer.
Josiah Stewart
Oh wow had no Idea they made a feature out of this. I remember watching the short at a festival 2 or so years ago, which seemed promising enough at the time but plagued by horrible writing and performances. Is the feature really worth watching? Were the original filmmakers of the short involved at all?

>I’m generally allergic to Whedon
I don't know how you survived Firefly then.
If you genuinely didn't like the first 5 eps of the Expanse it's probably just not your speed so try Farscape.
Isaiah Edwards
That girl was such a qt. Then I looked at her instagram and I was repulsed
Camden Gray
Oblivion (1994) and it's sequel fit the bill. They're very much in the trash kino category though.
Ethan Price
What about Coboys and Aliens?
Easton Nelson
looks kino to me
Dominic Peterson
>some stuff that’s high tech and some things that are more primitive and low tech than what we currently have
Almost sci fi movies made before the internet and smartphones is like that

Time Cop
Dominic Wright
That's actually set in the past so it's kind of the reverse of what OP wanted but that's their call.
Some others with a weird mix of retro and tech:
Battle Beyond The Stars (literally The Magnificent Seven in space)
Ice Pirates
Spacehunter: Adventures In The Forbidden Zone

>One of the only films to copy Alien's industrial-space travel look and setting.
>Virtually all new space films are about explorers on state of the art ships and shit.
I really wish we had more of them. Prospect is good, but it doesn't fill the hole.
Ethan Murphy
It's the same makers who did the short film. Perfomances were pretty good imho, the look was awesome but the writing felt a bit off.
James James
Why did you feel the writing was off? I thought it was pretty suspenseful in terms of the two main characters and whether she could trust him. I absolutely loved his dialogue too.
Kayden Peterson
It's a good look.
Blake Evans
Most modern sci fi is shiny ships and lasers, and everything works. I probably didn’t explain archaeo-futurism very well, but imagine robots tending wheat fields for people who read paper books by candle light on purpose and don’t use the Internet. I’m kind of looking for stuff like “Alien” where the future happened and it’s not a shiny perfect Star Trek utopia.
Nathan Rivera
Kevin Smith
fun to get high to
Ryan Wright
Only movie I can think of is Looper or Blade Runner. If you don't need space these will fulfill your needs.
Gabriel Clark
Shit yeah maybe. I forgot there was a time when Star Wars was good, I had purged that from my mind.
Tyler Campbell
The tension between the main characters and the dialogues were great. It's something else for me that I can't exactly pinpoint.
I guess it had, and Yea Forums will kill me for typing that, too little exposition. I'll give an example: at the start of the movie there is no explanation about why and what exactly they are going to do on this planet and who Dad and Daughter are working for. Are they freelancers? I assumed it. But then we learn they were being forced to work for the mercenaries?
Does the spaceship/station from the start belong to the mercenaries? Is it a space bus because they were talking about the route being cancelled? What did the mercenaries actually do on this moon? Delivering the prisoner to die AND forcing people to "mine" the pearl-thingies? Were there other "miners" that worked for them? Throughout the movie I had several of those questions which kept bugging me and took away my attention.
The movie seems to have an interesting world, but so little is told about it. I wish it would have more world building. It feels like a spinoff movie from a big franchise. It assumes you already know many things about this universe and tells this side-story, like if you've never watched the original Star Wars Trilogy and then go and watch Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, you'd get a similar feel.
