I want to find a movie that has a sci-fi military vibe to it, preferably with space military or something close. I also just want general cool bad ass space movies. I’ve struggled to fill my need for good sci-fi movies recently. The audio books I’ve been listening to, don’t help me as much as a movie does.
So any suggestions would be amazing
check out "Edge of Tomorrow" for some cool time-loop action, and "Upgrade" if you want something different. also can't go wrong with "Dune" and "The Forever War" if you want epic space vibes.

I loved edge of tomorrow, that’s the exact vibe I am looking for
Edit: I’m watching upgrade rn, it seems intriguing

Soldier is possibly a bridge between Alien and Blade Runner. WY is mentioned on some of the screens, as is Tyrell if memory serves.

One of my all time faves. I actually just read the book for the first time as I’ve heard there’s something in development with Neil blomkamp attached, but we’ve also been hearing things like this for the last 10+ years

Guardsman, it's a very cool short film from 2018 that takes place in Warhammer 40k.

If you are up for a series, both of these might be to your liking:
For All Mankind
The Expanse

For all Mankind - I had no idea until I randomly turned on Apple last night that season 5 just started!
Expanse - GoT in space. I should go back and rewatch.

Galaxy quest
Oblivion is good and often overshadowed by edge of tomorrow
I thought predators with Adrian Brody was awesome

I just posted that I wouldn’t recommend it, but War Machine has a sci-fi aspect and includes the military
