"Serenity" best scifi film ever?

[coma]

Totally agree. Primer is awesome though, pure headf**k material. Never heard of Primer, but I am def gonna check for it now I saw Children of Men recently and I thought it was great. also just saw The UK Day OF the Triffids. That was really excellent.

Robocop, Terminator 1 & 2, Blade Runner, Star Wars, Starship Troopers, and many many others are better than Serenity. While I liked Serenity, I'd easily watch all the ones I listed before it.

Serenity is good, but the best? What are they smoking over there in the land of tea and crumpets? and is it possible to have a few thousand grams sent over to my house? dude, what do you think the tea's made of?, booooooong . anway, serenity was a good finale to firefly but hell no i can name at least 50 films from like 1930 to 2000 that were way better than serenity., hell alien, the thing, star wars (eps 4 thru 6 ), back to the future to name but a few.

I suppose I could add both versions of Solaris to the list as well.

I suppose I could add both versions of Solaris to the list as well. I wanted to add that too, but I couldnt remember the name. I like the Russian (?) version better

[capncnut]

Me too.

any one of the 6 star wars films would piss on Serenity any day of the week

any one of the 6 star wars films would piss on Serenity any day of the week Not the Phantom menace. It smells like the dump my late doberman took on the floor after stealing a pound of raw bacon

Attack Of The Clones ain't that much better either. I guess that makes it 4 now.

Attack Of The Clones ain't that much better either. I guess that makes it 4 now. The new Trilogy is a bad as the old ones are good. I categorize the new trilogy as a "massive, frustrating, boring and ultra cheesy disappointment"

I gotta admit that I loved the darkness that came with Revenge Of The Sith - it almost felt like Irwin Kirshner was directing again. If Lucas handed the reins over to other directors like he did with the original trilogy then we might have been looking at 3 different movies as opposed to a mediocre 6 hour story done by the same guy.

Yep - He shouldn't have directed, and someone should have helped him with those scripts!! The final one was the best, but was still very average at best (IMHO)

Yep - He shouldn't have directed, and someone should have helped him with those scripts!!! Yes it is baffling why he would go down such a long winded and political route for the 'other' 3. Took all the enjoyment out of it in my opinion. What I loved about the original trilogy was that they were simple and enjoyable space yarns. None of this long winded rubbish about trade routes. I wonder how many young children really got the plot to Phantom Menace?

I wonder how many young children really got the plot to Phantom Menace? I barely understood it. All the Bull**** politics was hard to follow I gotta admit that I loved the darkness that came with Revenge Of The Sith - it almost felt like Irwin Kirshner was directing again. If Lucas handed the reins over to other directors like he did with the original trilogy then we might have been looking at 3 different movies as opposed to a mediocre 6 hour story done by the same guy. I have to admit, I watched about 20 munites of Sith and it annoyed the crap out of me. I guess Kirshner did Empire? Thats the best one by a mile, and thats saying alot.
