My Favourite Sci-Fi Movies 

Here are the science fiction movies which are in my personal top five (in no particular order).

I, Robot (Two-Disc All-Access Collector's Edition)

I was always a fan of Isaac Asimov, and even though it is not based on any particular story, this film manages to stay true to the themes and concepts that he wrote about.

Amazon Price: $15.99 (as of 12/02/2009) Buy Now

The Chronicles of Riddick (Theatrical Widescreen Edition)

Based around the same character from 'Pitch Black', this film turns him into the 'good guy' who has to save the whole human race.

Amazon Price: $13.49 (as of 12/02/2009) Buy Now

V for Vendetta (Two-Disc Special Edition)

Set in a future London, this film features a 'Guy Fawkes' character set on blowing up parliment and overthrowing the evil government.

001- Transformers

Based on the popular toys that transform into giant robots, this live-action Michael Bay megahit finds the planet Cybertron inhabitants engaging in a secret war for control of Earth's natural resources, which they desperately need for fuel. But much of the action centers on young Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf), an unlikely hero whose first car turns out to be an Autobot and helps him win over his dream girl (Megan Fox).
002- The Golden Compass

After overhearing a shocking secret, precocious orphan Lyra Belacqua (Dakota Blue Richards) trades her carefree existence roaming the halls of Jordan College for an otherworldly adventure in the far North, unaware that it's part of her destiny. Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig and Sam Elliott co-star in this fantasy-laden family adventure based on the first book of the Philip Pullman trilogy His Dark Materials.
003- War of the Worlds

In this loose adaptation of H.G. Wells's novel about alien invasion, Tom Cruise stars as Ray, a divorced dockworker whose children (Dakota Fanning and Justin Chatwin) are staying with him for the weekend when a fleet of spaceships carrying tripod creatures appears in his neighborhood. Forced to become the protective father he's never been, Ray scrambles to usher his kids to safety, as the invasion escalates around them. Steven Spielberg directs.
004- I, Robot

Inspired by Isaac Asimov's work, this techno-thriller stars Will Smith as Del Spooner, a technology-wary cop investigating the murder of a scientist in mid-21st century Chicago, who isn't the perfect man for the job … but he takes it on anyway. Aided by expert Dr. Susan Calvin (Bridget Moynahan), Spooner discovers that an android (Alan Tudyk) might be the culprit -- and realizes the entire human race could be at the mercy of machines.
005- Fantastic Four

During a space voyage, four scientists are altered by cosmic rays: Reed Richards (Ioan Gruffudd) gains the ability to stretch his body; Sue Storm (Jessica Alba) can become invisible; Johnny Storm (Chris Evans) controls fire; and Ben Grimm (Michael Chiklis) is turned into a super-strong … thing. Together, these "Fantastic Four" must now thwart the evil plans of Dr. Doom (Julian McMahon) and save the world from certain destruction.
