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:

  1. Serenity
  2. Star Wars
  3. Blade Runner
  4. Planet of the Apes
  5. The Matrix
  6. Alien
  7. Forbidden Planet
  8. 2001: A Space Odyssey
  9. The Terminator
  10. 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!
