Worst Moments in Science Fiction

[Meule]

I liked the HAL parts on the ship (except for the long boring extended ending).

I'd like to see a re-edited version only showing these parts.

I never want to see ANY of it ever again. I watched it at a young age and hated it. I tried watching it again when I was a little older in case there was something I didn't get because I was too young the first time, but I still hated it

I always cringe when I watch the speed bike chases in ROTJ, its just looks so studio done, with a big rolling screen in the background.

I think the worst Sci-fi moment for me would be Christian Hayden laying in the grass with Natalie Portman. I literally lowered my head with embarrassment, the dialogue was so bad. I even remember the audience laughing at the absurdness of the whole scene. Now THERE is an actor that should have been in the 40 year old virgin. I cringe just thinking about the scene even now.

Hmmm.., Galactica 1980.. (I know.., WAY too easy..)

Yes, 'Generations' when Data says 'Sh*t'

2nd Year of Buck Rogers (and occasionally 2nd Year Space:1999).., Superman 4.., Ewoks.., the list could go on.

Jurassic Park 2 had incredible plot holes you could drive a truck through. The big one for me was Julianne Moore's character who gave several long winded speechs about how the dinosaurs had fierce maternal instincts and then a character asks her "what's that on your jacket?" and she just glibly says "Oh some of the baby dinosaur's blood".

Seriously?

Battlefield Earth is so bad it's one of my favourite movies, it fails on every level.

I have failed to find redeeming qualities in anything titled "Star Wars" since about 1981.

AMEN.. and AMEN..!!

Other than SW and ESB (Eps 4 & 5..), nothing, nada....

I've seen JP2 a billion times and that never occured to me as damning
the reality of that movie... I like you too much to call that nitpicking, so
I'll just say I guess I'm glad I'm ignorant enough to have missed on what you
call one of the largest plot holes in a gaggle of JP2 plot holes

[huedell]

...half the time Kirk is asking him to cook scrambled eggs or what not...

I always fed on the irony of that...supposedly two of the biggest figures in
Trek history... or indeed sci-fi history... and they're making breakfast together.

The ending of the Black Hole. It's a cool little sci-fi movie up to the point when they enter the black hole and then they go all "make your own ending" on us.

I do pick nits but for the most part, I just gloss over them if the movie is entertaining. That single scene followed by the part WHERE SHE HANGS THE BLOODY JACKET IN FRONT OF HER TENT and of course, is attacked by a dinosaur just violated all semblance of common sense.

I'm not a scientist but I have been camping before, I wouldn't cover my tent in slices of olive loaf and act surprised when I'm bunking with bears.

Heh...at least now you've made me aware on why the Rex gravitated to HER
specific tent to nose around in

Come on guys, Flash Gordon is camp at its best...in that context...the entire movie is PERFECT...



My picks...

All three new Star Wars films...every single scene (except the Darth Maul lightsaber scene) sucks...burn the master prints to hell.

Ok...now on to individual scenes.

My number one...drum roll please...

This absurd and imbecilic scene in Superman IV...Chris Reeve's Supes carrying Mariel Hemingway...back down to Earth (from the moon)...never mind the lack of atmosphere, oxygen, and re-entry burn...

[Hector]

Star Trek V...and the row, row, row your boat...camping scene, is a very close second...

[Werewolf]

I agree with that. Everything in that movie is so purposely fun. Everything works. Yes, even the silly parts. It's fun, exciting, light hearted, doesn't take itself too seriously and is still very respectful and true to the source material.

Everything now has to be so grim and "edgy" and everyone has to be bitter and angry. No one has the guts to break the mold and make something like Flash Gordon anymore.

Alien-3

The entire movie

I hate that movie with a passion.

Not because of the atmosphere and overall feel of the movie...I think it works in that department.

The reason I DESPISE Alien 3 is because at the very beginning of the film...we find out that both the little girl (Newt), and the lone Marine (Michael Bien) DIE upon crashing on that prison colony.

WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE MOVE ALIENS THEN???

It makes the previous movie Aliens pointless...I mean...come on...Ripley goes through all that trouble saving the little girl...like in that climatic end...where she challenges and fights the alien queen with that hydraulic human-shaped forklift...and utters the now famous quote..."Get away from her, you ******!"

Alien 3 almost makes Aliens meaningless...it almost ruins that great movie...argh...
