I am a big fan of films in general and in particular sci-fi.
So i put it to you the shrimperzone faithful what is the best ever sci-fi film/s (sequels etc)
Its tough and there are loads of films that i like but i have to say the best are the ones that are ahead of there time and age brilliantly and have a story that is possible and beleivable. With that i am going to vote the :
Terminator films as possibly the best sci-fi films made.
For those of you who dont know the film or what its about the let me enlighten you.
Its basically the story of what happens when we build computers so inteligent that when they are left in charge of our defences they decide to eliminate humanity by nuking everything leaving very little of anything left including humans.
Sometime after this occurance the remaining humans start an uprising and start to smash the terminators (human looking robots) which have been built by the machines in factorys to destroy the remaining humans.
Aware that the future is looking bleak the computer (skynet) decides to send a terminator back through time to kill the mother of the resistance leader which is leading a present day resistence.
The humans aware of this and fearful of the consequences send there own human fighter back to protect this women and her unborn child.
I wont give too much more away but what ensues is a fantastic movie where david in the guise of the human fighter is pitted against goliath in the shape of leather clad super pumped Schwarzeneger to save this every day women and preserving future humanity . And with only weapons of that time period (1984) available stopping this machine will not be easy.
Like i said there are many sci-fi movies and sequals trilogies and more which people will say are better and that maybe the case but for me the stories still hold up , maybe more so given technological advances.
So lets discuss some sci-fi
