Best sci fi movies
Some of the best sci fi movies that are reviewed in this series of lens are the Star wars films from George Lucas, the Alien movies, Lord of the rings, Battlestar Galactica, Star trek movies and TV series.
The quality of the TV series available in this genre is so spectacular that it would be a dis service to any new comer to the Genre if i did not include them.
As all people who love movies know, the age of a great movie hardly matters, the effects might not be up to the current standards, but a Great movie is more than just its effects, it ought to contain a great story. Watch these movies if you can. Better still, buy the dvd and keep it.
Please note that the lists and reviews below are being added to continuously, and I invite you to suggest movies for the lists.
Transformers: Revenge of the fallen
Well the have continous battles with the fate of the planet hanging in the balance. The US military ably assists the Autobots and our teenage hero to save the world. Our heroic teenage defys the Decepticons and does the deed that leads to the world being saved. He retains the love of his girlfriend . And they all live happily till the next movie.
This movie is strictly for action movie fans. Its science fiction as its full of tech items that do not exist today. This was an enomous success in the cinemas, and for kids, its certainly a top movie. For views of all ages who like an action movie that moves smoothly without being avoidably absurd, this is one to see. Its one of the top action movies of 2010.
Krull
The story involves a marraige of the heirs to two previously competing Kingdomsgetting married with their fathers agreeing to stand down resulting in one kingdom to rule that world. The wedding cerrimoy hints at technologies that only respond to the commands of a unified command structure. Thus the marriage is of remarkable importance, for their are dangers in their Galaxy that even the regressed inhabitants of this world are aware of.
Enter the beast, a galactic traveller seeking to conquer the Galaxy, and needing the hidden weapon systems of the world know as Krull, Ergo to conquer the Galaxy, first he must conquer Krull. Plus their is a curious love twist.
This Movie is epic in Scope, yet local in feel. You do not get the massive space battles of Star wars, but for my money, this little known movie had a script superior to Star wars. Plus the Action is also great. Buy this movie now :)
4400 season one
From the begining, 4400 lets you know that it is an ambitious series, its truely epic in scale, even though the focus is in Seattle. However, world events are tracked via TV , news reports, occasional and trips abroad. The series follows what happens as discoveries are made about what has happened to the 4400 people. We discover that they have new powers. We discover new fascinating chemicals like promicin. We discover the ripple effect, and finally, where the 4400 abducted by Aliens or People from the future.
This is easily one of the finest pieces of science fiction work I have ever viewed. I was watching this at the same time as Battlestar Galactica, both in Boxsets, and I tell you, the 4400 did not suffer in comparison. It is consistently excellent through every episode. Buy this Series.
Battlestar Galactica
This is the best visual space opera available today and it deserves to be at the top any list of the best sci fi movies. This series involves a complete re write or re imagination of the old series.
The story line is that A collection of 12 Human occupied worlds creates robotic servants, the Cylons, who are self aware ai and eventually rebel against the 12 worlds. A long war commences and is ended with a truce.
However, the Cylons, develop a plan to wipe out the Humans of the 12 worlds and Launch a successful surprise attackm destrying tha Majority of Human military forces and Civilian Populations. Battlestar Galactica, a human Space Capital war vessel, survives and shepards an collecion of surviving humans in space ships in a race accross the Cosmos, away from the vastly superior Cylon aggressor.
I came to the re imagined series expecting The old series with new technology, what i got is the best series I have seen on TV in any genre for a long time. Infact, I struggle to remember anything better constructed.
Battlestar galactica seasons- dvds reviewed
Stargate SG1
The first spinoff from the film Stargate
Stargate SG1 is preceded by Stargate the movie, a classic film which should be seen by any science fiction fan. The premise is that the US military discover a device which creates a worm hole through which people can travel to planets in other Star systems. A small team is sent through the worm hole and soon get into a fight with an alien entity who holds humans as slaves. They defeat the alien after suffering severe losses.
Stargate SG1 takes up where the film ends . As the US military sends out teams to explore the Galaxy via the stargate, they discover that there are a lot of civilisations out there , plus factions, with the Dominant powers being the Extremely Malign Goa uld, Aliens of the same race as the Alien defeated in the movie. Stargate SG1 focusses on the adventures of one off the teams being sent through the Stargate, SG1.
Stargate Atlantis
The second spinoff series from Stargate the film
Stargate Atlantis: We are introduced to the City of Atlantis, built by an ancient race in the Pegasus Galaxy, in season 8 of Stargate SG1. An international team of scientists and soldiers lead by Elizabeth Weir are sent to investigate the City. They discover a galaxy dominated by a hostile Species which defeated the Most powerful entities that the Stargate teams had ever encountered previously.
The five seasons of Stargate Atlantis focus on the endeavours of the Atlantis expedition to defeat a remarkable opponent. Ultimately, as in all popular fiction, the Human side wins and It would appear that the Studio's feel that the Series has had its day.
However, Each of the 5 seasons is superbly penned and fantastic viewing for the casual and enthusiastic sci fi watcher alike.
Alien
A review of the first 4 films
There have been 4 films in this series to date plus 2 Alien vs Predator films.
I watched the First Alien film at 3 am during a Family Sleep over and none of us had ever heard of the film and knew not what to expect. Wow, what a film, this remains, in my opinion, the apex film about first contact with a hostile alien species.
By Aliens, I refer to only the first 4 films , which starred Sigourney Weaver and excluded the predators. These 4 films where classics in their own right. Each time I've watched them, its been a delight. The AvP films deliver a different experience.
Alien: The species of alien in all 4 films is essentially the same. They are first encountered when space cargo carry ship responds to a distress call. An extremely inimical alien attacks the crew and eventually there is a sole survivor, Ripley(Sigourney Weaver).
Ripley is subsequently involved in three further encounters with the alien species. These three ecounters form the three sequels to Alien.
A large part of the excellence of the "Alien " films lies in how they combine some of the finest Directors such as Ridley Scott, James Cameron, Excellent scripts and Special effects that are still special today, plus an absolutely splendid cast led by Sigourney Weaver.

Lord of the Rings
Lord of the rings is the Tale of one of the many wars for Middle Earth, a fictional setting probably soewhere in our world. A Major Component of this war , for which the books are named , is the so called "ring of power" . Thr Protagonist are split into roughly three camps, those determined to destroy the Ring, Those determined to gain the rings power, and Those doing their own thing and being pulled into the whole affray.
The movie intepretation is an awesome spectacle, I have watched it several times, and each time it has been Gripping viewing. Peter jackson has produced a master piece without equal for spectacle. By staying remarkably close to the original script, everything really has the Stamp of Tolkien on it, the dialogue, the look, the cast.

Star wars
The six episodes
The six episodes that make up the star wars films standout as a feast of visual spendour, fast story telling and extreme excitment for new or casual Science fiction fans. These are in this list of Best Sci fi movies by right. I re watch these movies often, and i am entertained everytime.
The very first Star wars film is probably what really ignited my ongoing love affair with science fiction. Prior to this film, the best Sci fi I had seen where the Doctor Who TV episodes, Thunderbirds, UFO , Captain Scarlet and Star trek. I had been fascinated by all these programs on TV, but some how, they did not quite hit the mark. Then Came Star Wars.
Epic in scale and Imagination, this truely was the first Major Science fiction for many people. Plus, it appears to have been the first Major Box office success for the genre. Star wars did make it acceptable for Big studio's to Gamble on making such films with some expectation of Success.
The Six main star wars movies are
Star Wars: Episode I :The Phantom Menace
Star Wars: Episode II : Attack of the Clones
Star Wars: Episode III : Revenge of the Sith
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
Star Wars: Episode V :The Empire strikes back
Star Wars: Episode VI :Return of the Jedi

- Well, for a list of best sci-fi though some are great you are missing many of the really good ones and many on there are mindless action films that masqueade as sci-fi
Off the top of my head: 2001, 2010, Inception, Planet of the apes (original), 12 monkeys, Brazil, Gattaca, The Thing, Predator, Starship Troopers, Donnie Darko, Mad Max, Invasion of the body snatchers, Escape from NY and Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai.... I am sure I missed a lot.
Besides that great job...sorry if I seem critical
