Have there been any truly great sci-fi movies in the last five years?

The post about Automata got me thinking. We had Monsters back in 2010, but has there been anything half decent since then?

Interstellar - bladder-bustingly incoherent, with lame Nolan dialogue
Prometheus - Z-grade cartoon schlock
Looper - gaping plot holes and mash-up of other movies
Oblivion - mash-up of other movies and just plain lame
Gravity - great special effects, but no actual story
Elysium - generic pap
Source Code - more generic, forgettable pap
Rise of the Planet of the Apes - ho-hum CGI crapfest

Any suggestions?
