Star Wars was SECOND as the Top Sci-Fi movie of all-time as voted on by the readers of SFX Magazine.

Second? That’s not that bad, right?

So what was first?

2001: A Space Odyssey? HAL says no.
Alien? No love for stomach parasites, I guess.
Terminator? Hasta la vista, baby.
Blade Runner? I’m assuming that the presence of Harrison Ford twice on the list split the vote because it wasn’t first either.
Planet of the Apes? The damn dirty apes were robbed.
The Matrix? Apparently innovation in filmmaking doesn’t matter so much.

Serenity.

That’s right. A sci-fi movie that NOBODY saw, was voted the #1 Sci-fi movie of ALL-TIME. Perhaps the readers of SFX Magazine didn’t quite understand the question, because that’s the only explanation I can find as to why this movie would even be in the top 10. Serenity was based on a CANCELLED TV show called Firefly. Star Wars (and others listed above) shouldn’t even have to pee in the same POOL as this piece of junk. (Granted, I haven’t seen it, but I’ve seen everything else on the list.)

In even more ridiculousness, Serenity received TWICE as many votes as Star Wars. Now that’s just dumb.

Can someone please EXPLAIN this to me?
