We love science fiction (sci-fi) movies, well, at least the good ones since there are several of them made throughout the years. We're Startrek and Stargate fans.
Within the sci-fi movies genre, there are actions, adventures, thrillers, aliens, fantasies, dramas, martial arts, foreign, supernatural, even horror. So there's a variety to choose from.
One of our favorite past times is watching movies, both at the theater and at home; well mostly DVDs at home since it's more economical that way. This lens is about sci-fi movies we love or like a lot. The list is a work in progress and in no specific order.
