The French sci-fi one is literally Moebius comics

Fifth Element

Barbarella. It’s an incredibly weird movie with Brigitte Bardot Jane Fonda as the bombshell. Pretty sure the provided definition of french sci-fi is based on this movie.

Edit: misremembered the actress

American sci-fi goes all over the place. Look at Phillip K. Dick for instance.

That dude was on an island by himself with the insane shit he wrote

I'm fairly sure that's half referring to Fantastic Planet, but might also Gandahar. Both rated PG for copious unfun, more like decorative boobs.

In addition to Moebius, you can also check out the Valérian et Laureline comics. They fit the script (but they are so much more !)

And we bring back the Australian car manufacturing sector!

And we have telepathic dogs who teach us that women are bad

So Mad Max (the original)

Real Australian Sci-fi: What if there was a woman named Muriel who loved Abba and went on vacation?

There's also When the Wind Blows, if you want to be depressed but also want an absolute banger of a soundtrack.

And the American version was The Day After (1983)

Entirely different movies with the same premise. The Day After messed me up as a kid. But Threads haunts me as an adult.

it's technically a docudrama. and then it gets bored.

just read some Metal Hurlant and Pilote - it is way wilder than the movies.

Total shit. I'm posting this so you realize you actually don't need to watch more French Sci-Fi.

Watch some Spanish Sci-Fi like this, this, this, this or even this instead.

LEXX - The Beginning + Brunnen G Fight Song looks very interesting, but not much plot. There's another video, a review of the show with heavy spoilering, quick FFWD recommended, which then praises its complexity and creativity, comparing it to Terry Gilliam amongst others... that's enough for me, I'm in.

There's actually a lot of decent sci Fi with Canadian creators / writers / cast / filming location

The main rule is that it will be set anywhere but Canada

Oh well, off to work lads, tally ho!

and the credits roll over a still frame of an toddler's penis. that movie was messed up.

Death by snu-snu?

Current Russian* SciFi RPG: The Soviet era was awesome! Just kidding, this dystopic post-apocalyptic world is a better place to live than the real thing.

*actually made by an international group of developers living in Latvia, Ukraine, and Poland as well as Russia

Make it so, number one.

all three of that is just Doctor Who,

don't forget that Black Mirror started british

Space.

British sci-fi is more like:

"Oh freddled gruntbuggly,Thy micturations are to me as plurdled gabbleblotchits"

Edit: the down votes are disturbing. Do people hate HHGTG or do they not know it? Both are horrible options.

Aniara is amazing! Like really, it might not be quite a typical sci-fi story but it is really good. Also so confusing, Harry Martinsson makes up soo many words.

Absolutely worth reading!

Also, it does not rhyme. He uses a verity different meter throughout the book, few of which rhyme. A lot is free verse. Also the first 29 songs were apparently written under trance. It is truly a very, very strange book.

For a hint at what it's like, I'd like to quote the second song (so no spoilers here, this is the beginning of the book)

Goldonder Aniara shuts, the siren gives the wail for field-egression by the known routine
and then the gyrospinner sets in towing
the goldonder upward to the zenith light, where
magnetrinos blocking field-intensity
soon signal level-zero and field-release occurs.

I didn't know about Arne goes to space but now I desperately want to see it... That trailer is just wonderfully goofy
