My Top 100 Sci Fi Movies

Snow speeders vs AT-ATs, "Imperial troops have entered the base". The falcon inside a giant space slug. Yoda, "Do or do not, there is no try". Bobba Fett. Han in carbonite, "I know". Fight with Darth Vader. "I am your father". Lando Calrissian, "They told me they fixed it! Its not my fault!" Cliffhanger ending. Great sequel, great movie.

If you take away the Ewoks this movie is insanely good. Just with the opening sequence in Jabba's yacht its enough but then we have the forest speeders schoooom!, the space battle at the second death star ITS A TRAP! and the climatic battle with Darth Vader and the Emperor LIGHTNING BOLT! Still, lets be fair to the ewoks back when I was a kid I used to love them.

It's the original, the one that started it all with tons of great moments but compared to the other originals, its the "weakest". I like how Darth Vader isn't the top dog in the film and is below the admirals in rank/power.

One of my favorite sci fi films ever. So much color. It has it all, great characters, comedy, action, insane special effects and of course a love story. How can you not fall in love with Leeloo?

Art.

This was THE best movie for me back in 1991. I just could not get enough of this movie (I even loved the Guns n Roses video, remember that?). What always bothered me was how you knew from all the advertisements that Arnold this time around was the good guy, would have been a nice surprise.

So they borrowed elements from tons of sources, who cares? This movie is just mind blowing. Copied infinite times, never ever forget as you see countless movies overusing the same special effects and same camera work that this was THE movie that brought it all together to create something that just makes you go "whoa".

As great as the original is, I prefer this one. It took the same universe and did a complete 180 on the concept creating one of the best and coolest sci fi action movies ever.

Being the adventures of a young man whose principal interests are rape, ultra-violence and Beethoven.

SPEED! The vehicles, the costumes, the setting, the villains, the heroes, the dog, the action, THE ROAD WARRIOR!!!

CGI done right.

GET TO THE CHOPPA!!

Ahead of its time and unique. Surreal sci fi masterpiece.

There's something about a James Cameron film, its just ...goood. The most intense slowest action sequences EVER!

This film is great, after the first JP who didn't want more? Intense action sequences and awesome CGI and sound effects. The girl doing that gymnastic move on the velociraptor frustrates me, what a downer.

Delirious fun. You either get it or you don't.

I'm in awe at the moment. I tried so hard to catch this movie in the theaters, I wish I had tried harder. Need to see it again very soon.

I loved the amazing attention to details the most.

I had a great first viewing experience, great film, great performances, I should catch the original to compare it. Loved the director commentary on the DVD.

I need time to digest this. Worth a second viewing very soon. Overall: fascinating. Just took 2 hours to get me to watch it again. Second viewing: Chaotically confusing, but addictive to understand. I feel like if I tried to write anything more I would end up with 200 pages worth of text so I'll just leave you with this: Go see it.

I actually enjoyed this sequel more than the original.

It's good and even great at times but it is a step down from The Road Warrior. Break a deal spin the wheel. Two men enter one man leaves. MASTERBLASTER! Seems like Road Warrior fans under appreciate this movie more than they should, it's a shame. I wish George Miller would make more sci fi action movies.

Good twist, gave me chills. Not that that is the only thing of merit in the film, I'm lazy at the moment.

"I'll be back" and he does, driving a car right through the police building entrance.

Great gritty movie in a sort of post-apocalyptic future. Great car chases with incredible ways of filming speed. The character and universe are great but ultimately this film gets more props for being the precursor to the greatness that is The Road Warrior.
