Definitely a love/hate kind of movie though. I bet Jean & Friede would be intrigued by it. Wink

We haven't seen it yet, but from what I read it sounds intriguing indeed.

The only Space Patrol I can recall is the puppet series from the 1960s http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLNa_YUPXes

Before i add mine...i see no one raised an eyebrow at Jason and the Argonauts? Greek mythology me thinks, not sci-fi.
 
Aliens is surely the greatest sci-fi movie ever, however for every good sci-fi movie there has been about 100 hundred bad ones......stand up Thunderbirds and Gattaca.

Well, someone called it an action movie set in a definite time period, so i got kinda defensive. :)

Well, it is an action movie set into a certain period. Many SF-movies are actually action movies too. "Robo-Cop", for example. Or "Total Recall". The two terms don't necessarily exclude each other.

Yeah it never really caught on in North America. Sort of like Monty Python didn`t catch on. I like the earlier episodes a lot more though. Read the books before the show came out, it`s sort of Dr. Who meets Hitchiker`s Guide To The Galaxy.
 There`s also an old British show I used to watch as a kid called UFO. Anyone remember that with the babes with the purple hair?
 
I also love the great Gazzoo in the Flinstones and Marvin the Martian from looney tunes " The Earth is blocking my view of Mercury so I`ll have to blow it up. " Bugs Bunny saves the world, too funny.

Unless I missed it I`m suprised nobody has mentioned Heavy Metal. The second one sucked but the first one is classic.

Dude. Wouldn't Science Fiction mean FICTION with SCIENCE elements? And Terminator is certainly that, since it explores Science, and the idea of it taking over the world from humans. Oaky, maybe it would be more fitting with "Tech fiction", in a way. But it's still science fiction.

I need to check this show out, as well as Doctor Who. So far the only SF show I watch is the genius remake of BSG (and Heroes if you count all that genetic talk as sci-fi).


Red Dwarf's a comedy set in space. hilarious at times, but it won't sate your science-fiction fandom

While talking about TV programs, I have to mention the X files... which are good, but I think they aren´t that good now, looking back I mean. For sure in it´s days they seemed much better

I know it's a series rather than a movie but what about Blake's Seven?

Quatermass, The Day of The Triffids, Flash Gordon (ahem), and of course, the proggiest film of all time, the legendary Tron.
Would you like to watch TV, or get between the sheets, or contemplate the silent freeway, would you like something to eat?
