SciFi films Picture teaser game - give it a go!

[Tabitha]

Here's a new game for you lot, I wanna play it, does anyone else?

The plan is: Post a piccy from a scifi horror or fantasy film, and we have to guess what film the piccy is from.

You get it right and it's your turn to post another....

A few hints - try and make it a not-so obvious image or film, don't forget to change the piccy's name - we might be able to tell from the filename!




Try this easy one for starters:

 

[Falcon Horus]

Star Wars-something?

Falcon Horus

 

[Tabitha]

Nu-uh, no "stars" in the title at all. It's a classic sci-fi movie...

 

[Dave]

The Day the Earth Stood Still

That was way too easy.

This one is a little small, but should also be quite easy.

(PS. It's difficult to find images, so this game may be hard. When I searched for some images, the first one I got back was exactly the same as you used.)

 

[Tabitha]

Yep Dave - thought that should be an easy one.
I didn't think it would be too hard to find pics - imdb is always an option for more recent movie stills too. If anyone comes up with any good resources please let us know!


Your one is Evolution (which I really like btw!) here is another:

 

[Falcon Horus]

Uh...is it an actionfilm?

Falcon Horus *considering of watching more sci-fi movies, knowledge of them is poor*

 

[Dave]

I don't know your new 'teaser' one Tabitha

It must be something that I haven't seen.

Can I post another one while I have it. (The man's face in the back of the car has been altered to protect his identity! -- it would be too easy otherwise.)

I made a screen capture with a digital camera (I think that is going to be easiest -- Until I run out of films to use.)

So, two to guess now! Anyone else going to play?

 

[Tabitha]

Falcon - go watch more scifi films RIGHT NOW!
And if you want to use this game as an excuse, then who's to blame you ?

Dave, I get the feeling I really ought to know yours, but I am having a mental block here....



And for a clue for mine, um, it's one of my most favourite scifi movies ever? It was a movie that is generally regarded as having some pioneering sfx.

That doesn't really help me. Is it 'Final Fantasy'?

RE: mine.

Yes, you really should know it! You do know it!

 

[Tabitha]

AHA! Got it - yours is "Total Recall", I knew it was something I should have got right away. I am watching Voyager right now, and that's what jogged my memory.

No, mine isn't FF - it was from 1989 and was made by a very famous director.

 

[Dave]

I guess I'm not very good at this -- don't know that either!

It's another great game idea though, just need to get more people to play.

 

[Tabitha]

For shame Dave! I picked this (second) one 'specially for you! Hint Hint, it's a film you like talking about, and it might even have it's own dedicated forum here at ascifi....


Need to advertise the game, I think people would like it if they tried it

 

[Dave]

The image is a little dark, but I guess it could be 'Blade Runner'?

I still don't know the first one, are you going to give any clues?

 

[Tabitha]

It is Blade Runner. I see what you mean about the image being dark - on my mac at home it looks really clear and sharp, but here on my work pc it is much harder to make out... Sorry :blush:

Re: My first one - I have just realised that the still is actually from the Director's Cut, so people may not have seen it. It is from the Abyss, near the end, when Ed Harris is being 'preached to' by the underwater aliens.

Your turn...


ps - I stole the idea for the game from www.rottentomatoes.com/forum

 

[Dave]

I've not seen 'The Abyss'. If you hadn't said I'm sure someone would have got it.

Anyway, here is another. I'm hoping it will be a hard one. (Yes, it is only a wall.)

 

[Tabitha]

Bloomin' 'eck. This one might be beyond me...


Is it the Matrix?

 

[Dave]

No, not the Matrix.

BTW My daughter got it easily, she told me that it was far too easy!

 

[Tabitha]

Okay.... Can I ask for one clue? Do the bricks in that wall slide back and forward rapidly?
The picture is bringing some other thoughts to mind, and I wanted to know if I was on the right track.

 

[Dave]

Yes, the bricks move when touched in a certain order.

That's all from me tonight, feel free to post some new ones, next time I'm online, I'll try and drag a few more people here.

 

[Tabitha]

Okay, still mulling over yours....

But here is another one for fun --->
