General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Just looking for some recommendations because I'm in a sci fi mood. And btw, my favorite sci fi film is Planet of the Apes (original).

Stalker (1979) I like scifi weirdness. The book it's based on Roadside Picnic is also great.

Just looked it up, a Soviet film which probably means its a very arthouse film so that should be interesting.

Look up Solaris while you're at it (the Soviet one, not the horrible George Clooney remake.) Same director.

I've heard of Solaris, never seen it. Yeah I ignored the Hollywood remake, and have heard the original Soviet version is basically Russia's answer to 2001.
