Tell us the best sci-fi film of all time!

Now this may be one of the toughest bounties yet… seriously… I really struggled with this and as kept going between 4 movies…. So I’m just gonna pick one and say “Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace”

Why? Well this easy MY Star Wars movie growing up as a kid and it is to this day the only movie I have went to see at the cinema twice! It was that good lol!

Now I know it got a lot of hate back in the day, but I feel this was from older Star Wars fans who grew up with the original trilogy and I kind of get that but as a kid who I feel this movie was targeted at it was mesmerising… from the incredible super fast pod races, to the unbelievable light saber battles and the incredible big battles this just had it all!

The story was fab, and the main villain Darth Maul was amazing but he should not have been killed off so soon as he definitely had way more to give!

My only real gripe with the film is Jar Jar was annoying as hell lol even as a kid I didn’t like him lol

Still to this day when dual of fates drops and the big metal doors open with Darth Maul standing there facing the Jedi as they all draw their lightsabers gives me goosebumps! Absolutely epic!

It’s really just an epic fun rollercoaster of a ride from start to finish!

We’ve had the promise of sci fi movies through the ages. How can picking one be the just enough to suffice through grand adventures that have been brought to life before our very eyes. Without further ado, try to follow along and grab at the titles.

The Chain Reaction through this Comination, don’t forget we had Cyborg 009 looking to take Death Ray on Coral Island. No more songs for the Death Watch trying to gain back before The Empire Strikes Back. Just when the Final Countdown begins Flash Gordan arrives Somewhere In Time just to be witnessing Superman fighting Virus but never Without Warning there had to be Escape from New York. Heavy Metal gave way to The Last Chase just under the score of Mad Max. As in The Aftermath from reeling from the choices of Blade Runner. E.T flying high into the Star Trek forcing along the clashes of beings from Swap Thing and the horrors of The Thing. Tron shoved, pushing through the barriers shoving us then towards a different kind of movement.

More after, this Aftershock brought another towards Back To The Future. Transformers on the rise gripping through The Dark Side of the Moon, as we sought too the Dragon Ball Z: both to the World’s Strongest and The Tree of Might. Only to be clashing against Edward Scissorhands.  Martians Go Home running from the Predator’s that marched on the rise. The Rift of Robo Cop along side those in Total Recall.

The list goes on. As the creates work to bring these ideas and motions into a world of the living. Providing us the entertainment that we chase for in our dreams.

There are many great sci-fi movies, and it's hard to name just one.However, I do have one "goosebump-movie: Sunshine.

This film, set in 2057, where diverse team of astronauts attempt to reignite the dying Sun to save Earth. I love how the movie shows different reactions and actions from each team member, representing various aspects of humanity. The scenes, dialogues, and especially the music often giving me physical reactions like goosebumps. I've rewatched the movie about ten times and continue to enjoy it every single time.

For me, this has been the toughest challenge on JA so far! I could easily go with a top 10 or top 5, but choosing just one? I could quickly Google a movie title and grab the reward, but I’d lose sleep knowing I wasn’t being honest with myself.

One thing I've noticed is that I've seen all the movies submitted so far. It’s a great indicator of our well-bonded community, sharing the same passion.

Anyway, my pick is Blade Runner 2049 (2017). I watched it only once, seven years ago, but it's the only movie that has imprinted itself on my brain. I can close my eyes and remember every scene vividly. I might not recall the exact dialogues, but the sequences, the backgrounds, the characters- the overall vibe - I remember it as if I watched it just four minutes ago.

Blade Runner 2049 (2017) ⭐ 8.0 | Action, Drama, Mystery

It has to be the original total recall starring arnold swarchneggar.

it has wonderful set design, an amazing concept, classic arnold one liners, full on violence paired with comedic relief. The twists and open question ending leave you thinking about the film after it has finished.

Also the practical effects are top tier, seeing animatronics is so nostalgic compare to cgi these days

anything aswell with retro futurism is a win, looking at film from the past that puts forward the idea of what the future may look like is really cool.
