Avatar borrowed freely from many sources. That's one. Another is Alan Dean Foster's Midworld.

Wait just a minute here....
No mention of either Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow (2004) or Dark City (1998)? No "other" option???

^ See the original post. It is not "my" list. Plus, if multiple votes are allowed, "other" option is a bit awkward for me. It could have been put, but I preferred not to.

Why is Ex Machina and Inception on the list but not Interstellar? Interstellar would probably get my vote.
Edit: Ok, I voted for Back to the Future since it's probably my all time favorite movie. I didn't think of it at first because I typically don't think of it as Sci Fi for some reason although I can see how it qualifies for sure. Edited by AFlowerKingCrimson - March 29 2022 at 15:32 |

Hi, And sadly, as is the case in so much Hollywood material, Roger Dean never got a mention or a thank you, or 2 cents! All stolen, and Hollywood invented it all, including the world.
 I still have not seen that film, and I have no desire to see it. |

It's not in the poll, but my favourite sci-fi movie of all time is Runaway (1984), starring Tom Selleck (Magnum P.I.) and Gene Simmons (of Kiss) as the villain Lux Lather (or something like that). The ground-breaking movie featured such innovative weapons as guided homing rocket bullets that could go around corners and giant robotic acid-spitting spiders! Yikes!!
The movie was hardly a runaway success though, as it cost more money to make than it made back in box office receipts.  Edited by Psychedelic Paul - August 02 2022 at 02:46 |

Wall-E! I love it! I've seen Wall-E on lists for animated films and even best/favorite rom-coms, but never for Best sci-fi film--of all-time! It;s like putting The Incredibles on a list of best/favorite superhero films of all-time!
Surprised to not see Minority Report or Edge of Tomorrow or Interstellar or Lucy or Scanners or the Terminator films offered up. So many good ones to choose from. I also like low-profile films such as The Host and Jumper and Tron (both of them) and Paycheck and The Cell and Hollow Man and Altered States and Ready Player One.

Just need to mention two that deserve more love: the original Andromeda Strain and Colossus:The Forbin Project

I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

Alita Battle Angel is one of the best movies ive seen on the big screen. It was an action filled revelation, im unsure if its as good on yhe small screen.
