http://www.imdb.com/list/rFhCeDBFGcY/ My top films of the science fiction genre... Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:39:50 GMT Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:40:42 GMT Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:40:06 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1446714/ Ridley Scott's return to form! Naysayers felt this movie couldn't compare to Alien. This film is better than Alien in that Alien was nothing more than a summer blockbuster frightfest. Prometheus had a message, a real purpose. I can't wait for the sequel! Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:44:03 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080684/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080684/ The best film in the entire series! Classic laser sword battles, action set pieces, and an all-around excellent script made this film the masterpiece it is and will be. The Force is with you, Young Skywalker, but you are not a Jedi yet! Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:48:01 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0133093/ Forget the sequels. This film was too good to do a sequel to. Great cast, visuals, etc. It's hard to improve on excellence! Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:51:48 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434409/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0434409/ Hugo Weaving's best role yet. This was a first-class film with real-world ideas and principles that were crafted beautifully! Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:54:58 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1136608/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1136608/ It's hard to put into words how good this film really is. Yes, it's graphic at times, but the story itself is so well done. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 18:57:23 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093870/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093870/ This is Paul Verhoeven's finest American film. The story, along with the late Basil Poledouris's powerful score made this a classic that never gets old. Happy 25th Robo! Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:01:07 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796366/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0796366/ A nicely done reboot. The cast was well chosen. But, most of all, it was the way Spock and Kirk interacted that made this film truly awesome. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:04:05 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084726/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084726/ There will never be a Star Trek villain as magnificent as Khan Noonien Singh. Ricardo Montalban made this role all his own. This film was The Empire Strikes Back of the Star Trek series! JJ Abrams has his work cut out for him with next year's sequel! Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:07:40 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087182/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087182/ The best version of this exotic classic is the Extended Version which is around 3 hours long. This is another film that is too unique to be remade. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:09:55 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078748/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078748/ Ridley Scott's first foray into the sci-fi/horror genre is very good. When it comes to films of the aforementioned hybrid genre, this one tops my list. Not overly graphic, but most definitely scary! Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:15:07 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093773/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093773/ This film is a guilty pleasure, yes, but a well done guilty pleasure! As we know this film, is the macho version of Alien. But, the cast and filmmakers put this film together in such a way that it rises above other 80s films of its kind. With one notable exception... Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:18:37 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084787/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084787/ This is the film that gave birth to Predator. John Carpenter was in his prime, putting together a film that psyched you out and even doused you with blood when necessary. If only Universal hadn't waited nearly 30 years to make a poor prequel... Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:22:36 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1424381/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1424381/ Guilty Pleasure #2. But, I was so relieved when I found out that Robert Rodriguez would be involved with this film. I was impressed with how the filmmakers went with an ordinary mercenary versus the muscle-bound guys. A great chapter in an interesting film series. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:26:52 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117731/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117731/ The best film of the Next Generation crew! I really enjoyed how the filmmakers spun Picard's past with the Borg into a tightly bound web, putting the crew of the Enterprise to the ultimate test. A true classic in every right. Not to be missed. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:32:54 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/ Another Ridley Scott classic. The best version of this gem is The Director's Cut. Hopefully, the sequel will be at least halfway decent. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:35:32 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1318514/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1318514/ This film took the series to all-new level! It was great to see how the filmmakers were able to create memorable human characters, along with astounding CGI title characters. The great Andy Serkis plays the heck out of Caesar! Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:39:15 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087597/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087597/ A nice departure from other sci-fi films of its kind, this movie still holds up after more than 25 years! Robert Preston is a hoot as Centauri and Daniel O'Herily is fantastic as Alex Rogan's mentor and friend, Grig. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:46:07 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167261/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0167261/ While not quite science fiction, this film still deserves to be on this list. The way this film was done was truly spectacular! Peter Jackson is a genius among directors. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:50:57 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100802/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0100802/ This is the version to watch! The Colin Farrell version is okay, but Paul Verhoeven proved yet again that he is the man when it comes to graphic sci-fi violence. But, the story was well put together. In all, this cool feature had Arnold written all over it. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:54:43 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096754/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0096754/ This is one of James Cameron's most underrated films. The film has such powerful performances by the leads, especially during the personal crisis situations. The version to watch here is The Special Edition. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 19:57:24 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103064/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103064/ Before there was Avatar, this film was most definitely Mr. Cameron's masterpiece. An all-time classic, the Special Edition is the best version. It's too bad Cameron couldn't have directed T3, or Terminator Salvation. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:02:19 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090605/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0090605/ Here is yet another gem from the great James Cameron. It's Vietnam in space! Colonial Marines vs. the vicious xenomorphs. Plus, there's Ripley getting a chance to get some payback. A truly awesome film. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:06:06 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499549/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0499549/ Masterpiece to the 5th power! The film is so spectacular that it seems that James Cameron is wasting his time making sequels. But, it's his money, and 20th Century Fox is happy to oblige. We'll see how it turns out! Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:10:00 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418279/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0418279/ This film is here because of its executive producer, Mr. Spielberg. He came up with the premise of a boy and his car, and the responsibility that comes with that. Of course, there is the fact that ILM outdid themselves with making the robots transform. Don't get me started on Michael Bay or the film's sequels... Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:15:22 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0290334/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0290334/ This film puts the other two to shame! It was great seeing the mutants band together to fight a common enemy, but also the price that comes with that. Kudos to Bryan Singer! Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:21:55 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407304/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0407304/ Why Tom Cruise? Wasn't there any other actors available who could have played the lead role? That aside, this was a very well done film. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:26:20 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1104001/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1104001/ I was very much surprised by how I enjoyed this film. I wasn't a big fan of the first film, aside from the scene with the original Lightcycles. But this film took the ideas of the previous film and made it worth watching because of the dynamic between Sam and Jeff Bridges character as his father. Olivia Wilde did a great job here as well. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:34:07 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0848228/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0848228/ This was a finely crafted piece of film that although it had science fiction and superhero elements at the core of it, made it a film that had real heart. A film that had characters with everyday issues who were not perfect. That's what great filmmaking is all about. Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:38:54 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379786/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0379786/ I remember seeing the trailer for this film when it was in theaters. I didn't really get into the series, but after I had a chance to see this film, I understood why so many people loved the series. Another Joss Whedon masterpiece! Mon, 05 Nov 2012 20:42:32 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/ George Lucas's greatest achievement as a director. None of his other attempts measured up to this one. Long live the Force! Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:26:56 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088247/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0088247/ I'll be back! Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:30:45 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086822/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086822/ Ahead of its time. Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:33:04 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091203/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091203/ There can be only one! Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:36:25 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086837/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086837/ This was a better film than the first one. Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:37:51 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111438/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0111438/ This was Van Damme's #2 film. Thu, 22 Nov 2012 15:39:43 GMT http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0453467/ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0453467/ I really enjoyed how well the science fiction aspect was integrated into the contemporary plot.
