One more to add: Cypher (2002). Just watched it and was blown away. I can't believe this wasn't released in theaters, wtf. Clever plot, great cast, and it is visually awesome (especially given the low budget).
A real sleeper is "Save the Green Planet", a Korean film that is whacked and had a brief commercial run in the U.S. in '05. It blew me away and is worth checking out if you are into sci fi.
