I'm Thinking of Ending Things. I love how bizarre it is, watched it like 3 or 4 times. I was surprised to see it has 50% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Probably Elizabethtown - Cameron Crowe movie from 2005.
Envy (2004) starting Jack Black and Ben Stiller. I recently rewatched this as it had been 10+ years since I last saw it. I was pretty surprised to see how poorly rated it was. Supposedly Jack and Ben even apologized for it. I don't know, I still think it's funny.

I Come In Peace / Dark Angel (1990) - campy sci-fi action with a really interesting premise.
I watched it as a kid on VHS in the early nineties, then spent 20 something years trying to remember its name.
Apollo 18. It just has the atmosphere, sense of isolaton and impending doom.
Also Life which is thematically similar, but higher production value.
And in the same vein, Europa Report, though it has critic score of 80. One of the best hard sci-fi films ever.
Almost forgot Pandorum—that one was decent, too.
As was Prometheus (I know biologists and geologists IRL, studied biology myself—the films depiction of these folks is spot on!).
I really enjoyed Europa Report. Didn't know it was so lowly scored by the audience.
Batman v Superman is great, it just doesn't fit the usual super hero movie tropes in my opinion. The ultimate edition is awesome
Big Game by Samuel Jackson. I really loved that movie and people barely know it exists.
