The Best 20 Sci-fi Movies 2000-2009

These 20 science fiction films are undeniably cool, refreshingly different, cheerfully anarchic, ambitous, intelligent, startling and engrossing, a rollicking adventure, intellectually challenging, and a lot of fun.

Children of Men should've been #1.

@Noonxy20k A good case for that could certainly be made. It was a very good film.

@canman1878 I agree with revolutionsf that it is a 4 star film during the daytime scenes and a 2-star film at night.

@seaturtlefilms

Might give it another shot just found the cheesy lines from Will Smith ruined it for me

[seaturtlefilms]

@canman1878 Thanks for that. Avatar and I am Legend were both flawed, so I am probably more inlined to disagree with someone who says they are the best ever. Avatar was an impressive techical achievement, and the most interesting 'character' of the film was the planet Pandora. I am Legend was much better when the monsters were offstage, and in the eerie depictions of lonliness and desolation.
