Good time travel films:
Time After Time, though there's not really much scifi beyond the initial time travel.
The Time Machine (1960 version).
Time Bandits. The Final Countdown.
Good computers in control or taking control films:
Forbin Project, Demon Seed, Logan's Run (worth watching anyway, for Jenny Agutter). I used to love
Westworld, but I saw it again recently and found it unbearably slow. The premise is great though, so it could stand to be remade.
Enjoyable weird/low-budget/cult films (if you're in the right mood):
Dark Star, Night of the Comet, Terrorvision.
All of the above are pretty old - 70s/80s - since the OP has probably seen most/all new recent films.
Timecop and
The Faculty are two enjoyable 90s films. Of the last decade,
Idiocracy is great,
Aeon Flux gets a hard time from comic-book guys at IMDB but it's not bad,
Surrogates is pretty good, and another 'avatar' related movie,
Gamer, which I expected to be terrible, is mindlessly enjoyable.
Some good suggestions in this thread, and some I haven't seen that I'm going to check out.

However a lot of people were just unhappy because of the dumb, annoying characters behaving stupidly and/or unprofessionally (ie, unrealistically), the parts of the movie that went nowhere, or made no sense or weren't explained, and the pointless use of Guy Pearce, with the worst make-up effects of any movie in history.
People had very high expectations, and it was a big let down.
