Top 10 Sci-Fi Scenes.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

A familiar fanfare plays as the hair stands up on the back of your neck and the Millennium Falcon roars into view in an aerial dogfight in and around a crashed Star Destroyer. The best thing about a very average film.



Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)

Caesar pursues Aldo up a large tree "Ape shell never kill ape"

The full scene doesn't seem to be available.




Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 A.D. (1966)

Susan and Wyler escape London and the Daleks in an old van, smashing into Daleks as they go until a Dalek saucer catches up with them.



The Black Hole (1979)

S.T.A.R vs V.I.N.C.E.N.T on the shooting range. The cool black robot thinks he's the business until VINCENT turns up and ends up sending him to the scrap yard.



Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)

Duel of the Fates - Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan vs Darth Maul. The best thing about a film i find slightly under appreciated.



Jurassic World (2015)

Indominus rex in a fist pumping seat gripping final smackdown with Jurassic Park favourites the T-Rex, a Velociraptor and from the lagoon the Mosasaurus. Absolutely brilliant!




Blade Runner (1982)

"All those moments will be lost in time... like tears in rain... time to die"



Jurassic Park (1993)

A quivering glass of water, an unearthly rumble of footsteps, enter the T-Rex!



Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979)

Kirk is reunited with the USS Enterprise in a scene of pure gratuitous starship porn.



Star Wars (1977)

Wow what an opening. A planet seen from space, a small craft enters the shot, followed by a larger one, a much larger one, and a six year old Dem was awestruck.

I forgot to post my top 10 science fiction scenes for last week so, in the spirit of 'better late than never', here they are, with a surprising amount of action. I know there are more than 10 scenes, but there are only 10 films!

Scanners – hell of a way to begin a film



Alien – the shock value is still there nearly 40 years on



Blade Runner – one of the greatest monologues in the history of cinema



WALL-E – the first is joyous, the second makes me cry every time





2001: A Space Odyssey – Dave Bowman goes on a trip



Terminator 2 – almost everything about this is perfect, from the Harley to the music



The Terminator – a classic line and brilliantly choreographed action



Videodrome – tough to pick only one scene from this, but the bulging CRT is just brilliant



The Matrix – from the scene in the lobby to the helicopter crashing into a mirrored talent building, this made me really excited in the cinema and elevates my heart rate every time I watch it





The Thing – the classic 'blood test' scene
