Serenity Named Top Sci-Fi Movie
I was stunned to read that Serenity won the poll of 3,000 SFX magazine readers as the best sci-fi movie of all time, receiving 61% of the vote. Star Wars was pushed into second place and Blade Runner came third. I didn’t think that Serenity was that interesting, although I’ve never watched the Firefly TV series so maybe parts of the film were lost on me.
Here’s the full top ten:
- Serenity
- Star Wars
- Blade Runner
- Planet of the Apes
- The Matrix
- Alien
- Forbidden Planet
- 2001: A Space Odyssey
- The Terminator
- Back to the Future
Any major omissions?

I’ve not watched Serenity yet, but I’ve heard some very good things about it - I’ve the Firefly series to watch first, have seen the first episode so far, but that was quite a while ago - it obviously hasn’t grabbed my attention to a great extent so far.
I’d question a couple of the other films’ inclusion too, but am very glad to see ‘Back to the Future’ in there, probably my favourite set of films ever since I was a kid!
