The Wired Top Twenty Sci-Fi Movies
blamanj writes "The June issue of Wired includes a list of the top 20 Sci-Fi movies, based on ranking a combination of Adrenaline, Vision, and Precision. Somehow, they came up with (yawn) Gattaca as the #2 SF movie of all time!?! Their rating system was based on one by Josh Calder, who also uses a three-point (Futurism, Entertainment, Plausibility) system, and has the same movie at #2, BTW. Clearly, I think using such a scale gives odd results, but what if it were weighted differently, e.g., Vision is worth 2x Adrenaline, would it be a better list? And, more importantly, what are the real top 20 films? And wouldn't that list have to include Forbidden Planet?"
I thought we were discussing Sci Fi, not animated Japanese child porn (which, let's face it, is what every piece of Anime really is).
It was your typical "all talk and no action" british film. Had I known it was a british sci-fi, I'd would have never gone to see it.
Sure, the *idea* was fine, could even have been done well with some more thought to it, but it was about as exciting to watch as paint drying.
So rise up, all ye lost ones, as one, we'll claw the clouds.
