I am glad someone mentioned Artificial Intelligence. If thought provoking is considered it should go in first place.
Also Bicentennial Man. The more I say about this the less it will be.

I think the name of the thread should be changed if all sci-fi movies are to be added. Or you should only consider and add titles which satisfies the thread title.

" Intelectually inspiring, thought provoking, mind boggling SCI FI MOVIES!"

^I though it was implicit. Above mentioned characteristics are inherent to most sci-fi movies. I am yet to come across a single science fiction movie which has not baffled me. Name one?

Insurgent was a very bad movie compare to the original Divergent. Just some mind boggling special effects, but "thought provoking" wise... naaah.

Mr. Nobody however, was such an incredible movie! It literally was a movie that sets an example for the power of Cinematic experience!

Re: Intelectually inspiring, thought provoking, mind boggling SCI FI MOVIES!

Wowoww some how missed this thread ...but guys I went through the entire thread, you are adding all sorts of movies, normal sci fi and sci fi action like Mad Max and all. The title says "Intellectually inspiring, thought provoking, mind boggling SCI FI MOVIES". Thought provoking, where you debate different aspects of a movie. Think and share ....

My List ...

1. Triangle
2. CUBE
3. Timecrimes
4. Trance
5. Inception
6. Momemto
7. The killing room

and most of David Lynch Movies like

1. Mulholland Drive
2. Lost Highway etc ...

Let me go through my list on IMDB and see if I can find more. For now these are all I can remember ....

BTW started a new thread of Top 5 all time action/war/martial art movie you have seen. Please do participate ...

Thanks. Added most of your list but apparently couldn't find links for Trance, The Killing Room. Also Memento and Lost Highway won't fall under sci-fi genre. Inception is already there in the list.

P.s. "Intelectually inspiring, thought provoking, mind boggling" are attributes of Sci fi movies. As such, any Science Fiction movie by default will have one or more of such attributes.
