Wait, what?
How could you possibly think Prometheus was a good movie, much less "best sci-fi movie to date"?
It's probably one of the worst movies I've ever paid to go see.
Firefly isn't even a movie.
Serenity was good for Firefly fans but it's not really what you could call science fiction.
Anyway, Inception is probably very close to the top of my list for the best science fiction films, at least of the last ten years or so.

Say what? I know one can always have lengthy discussions about genre classifications, but out of the many tags you could apply to Serenity (or Firefly) science fiction is certainly the first one that comes to mind.
It has space ships, a whole colonized solar system, laser weapons, space ships, a system wide internet called Cortex and sex robots. Oh, and space ships! |

I personally can't believe I didn't add that to my list. One the greatest "WTF!!! Moments" in film history occur in that movie, lol. |

I would prefer to see any of the Iain M. Banks Culture novels as a film as long as they don't **** it up, I'm reading The Hydrogen Sonata now and its rather sad to know it will be the last Culture novel I ever read.
Yes, that is quite sad. Banks' death took me by surprise. His was a unique talent and outlook. He will be missed.

2001
and im seemingly one of the few that would put
2010
in there too - i loved it for the cinematics over the firsts 'life story of humans' thang, guess im a Lollywood ****.
Ill also put in A.I.
A movie i watch deliberately at distant intervals for no other reason than it takes a while for the end to destroy me as efficiently each time as its most potent at doing the first - an epic story based Sci-Fi, and i like it.

Indeed. Inception was roughly an hour too long for the content. One of the few movies I'm gone to at the cinema (I've been to 9 in my entire life, people annoy me) that had me wishing it would just end.
I liked District 9 when I went to see it. I like bothe the old and new Total Recall.And things like Blade Runner etc. I don't consider Event Horizon to be proper Sci Fi, it's more a horror in a Sci Fi location.
As for TV series I like most things. I even liked SG:U and think it would have not been cancelled if it were released 10 years ago. These days no show can afford to spend an entire season introducing characters and background, because peoples brains are no longer wired to enjoy it. This is the time of instant gratification where, if a show doesn't wow people in the first half an hour, then that show tends not to be watched. Just my opinion, but I think the Internet has changed how we process information. We expect everything to be available to us as soon as we want it. |

To me, there's a huge difference between 'good' and 'entertaining'. While there's a lot of entertaining SF movies, most of them are high on special effects and low on actual story. And in all honesty, it's getting decidedly worse with the remakes of old classics.
My personal favorites:
The Thing (1951)
The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951)
Blade Runner (1982)

Aliens
Terminator II
Matrix I
Contact
Total Recall the Original.
I also would add "Back to the Future"s to the list. I'm not sure if they are classified as "SciFi" though. Same goes for "V for Vendetta"..hell I would put "V for Vendetta"as best movie ever.
Also if anyone remembers this one "Wargames" ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086567/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 ) It is one of those movies that is etched in my mind and I cannot forget. |
