I don't know what it's like on the big screen (a spectacle, I presume) but it was great for me on blu-ray. It did seem like there was more to the story in the end but I presume that is because there is a sequel in the works (or at least I hope so).

Most of my favourite films are Sci-fi films and the 80's had some absolute gems.

Blade Runner
Alien (okay its 1979 but close enough!)
John Carpenter's The Thing
The Abyss*
Brazil
Robocop
Total Recall
Predator
Terminator
The Fly **
Scanners ***

* generally recognised as the first film to use CGI. I suspect that it was after that Sci-Fi films became less interesting because of the overuse of computer generated imagery. It just can't be the same acting againt a blue screen. The Thing was actually filmed in Alaska, not some cosy film studio and the actors were well on edge. This helped generate the fantastic nail biting tension as well as the superb animatronic effects.

** included on the other poll for horror films but this is actually a great sci-fi movie as well.

*** and on the subject of David Cronenberg
