Hey everyone thanks so much for tuning back into clevver movies, Im Tatiana Carrier with your top 5 Tuesday! With the release of Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace 3D this Friday we countdown the top 5 sci/fi films of all time!
.
Coming in at 5. The Matrix---
The Matrix was just the kick in the pants the sci-fi genre needed. It combined sci-fi, action and introduced the groundbreaking bullet time effect. Though the technology ended up being overused in just about every commercial made since the film's release and two crap-tastic sequels followed, the film was the perfect swan song to the 20th century.
Aliens comes in 4th place---
Though many would probably select Ridley Scott's 'Alien' in the top 5, James Cameron's sequel 'Aliens' was simply, in our opinion, a more entertaining movie. Less horror and more action, the film pits Sigourney Weaver's Ripley against the mother of all aliens as she and a crew of Colonial Marines try to discover what happened to the colonists who have settled the planet where Ripley and the crew of the Nostromo first encountered the aliens.
3rd place goes to The Empire Strikes Back ---- Here's another sequel that trumps the original. Though Star Wars was a huge box office success when released in 1977 and has spawned countless sequels, tv shows, books and video games, The Empire Strikes back is just an all-around better movie. It's questionably one of the greatest sequels ever made. From the battle on Hoth to Luke's inevitable confrontation with Darth Vader, the film gives the original character's real depth and introduces new characters like Yoda, Lando Calrissian and Boba Fett. Plus, how many summer blockbusters these days let the bad guys win?
Coming in a close second, is 2001: A Space Odyssey---- Stanley Kubrick's '2001: A Space Odyssey' is not only considered one of the greatest sci-films of all time, but also one of the greatest films of all time. Period. The film influenced the later works of such pioneers as Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.
.
And finally last but certainly not least, Blade Runner comes in the top spot on our countdown! ---- Blade Runner was a commerical and critical flop when it was first released back in 1982. Surprising considering it stars Harrison Ford during the height of his popularity, with the the film releasing right between Raiders of the Lost Ark and Return of the Jedi. The film finally got the recognition it deserves and became a cult hit with the introduction of the home video market. Though there have been seven versions of the film with significant changes to the storytelling, Ridley Scott's "The Final Cut" was released in 2007 and the director has called the film his most complete and personal film. A sequel is planned with Scott returning to direct.
