Serenity, the big-screen follow-up to Joss Whedon's TV show Firefly, has been named best sci-fi movie by readers of SFX. Number two on the list is the original Star Wars. Finishing out the top ten in order are: Blade Runner, Planet of the Apes (presumably the original), The Matrix, Alien, Forbidden Planet, 2001: A Space Odyssey, The Terminator, and Back to the Future.
I'm glad to see this, because the Firefly universe is a franchise that really deserves to be continued one way or another. I never got to see the show but I thought that Serenity was both entertaining and thoughtful. Maybe I'll put the Firefly series on Netflix and catch it sometime.
