Serenity Trounces Star Wars

Posted by kdawson on from the meet-the-new-boss dept.

DogBotherer writes "The BBC is reporting that the film Serenity has been voted the number-one Sci Fi film of all time. Serenity is a followup to the series Firefly. The 2005 film beat out Star Wars better than two-to-one for the top honors. This result came in a poll of 3000 readers of SFX magazine.

    Basically Science Fiction is a speculation on what life will be like in the future, I don't know how you could say Star Wars wasn't science fiction. You've got advanced civilizations with huge futuristic cities and clone warriors and a bunch of other stuff. As for Serenity/Firefly being sci-fi, check http://www.fireflywiki.org/Firefly/CategoryTechnol ogy for information about their Technology. dosent star wars begin .. a long time ago in a galaxy far far away? .. that is in the past not future Star Wars is Sci-Hi(story) :)

    Well it was "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away." Seems more like the past to me.
    Not that I disagree with Star Wars being Science Fiction, just your definition.
