Readers of SFX magazine have voted Serenity the greatest science fiction film of them all. Of all time. Better than Star Wars. Better than 2001: A Space Odyssey. Better, presumably, than Frau Im Mond. You can read about it here.
Now, don't misunderstand me. I love Serenity like it was my own dearly begotten. But it's not the greatest science fiction movie of all time. 2001: A Space Odyssey is the greatest science fiction movie of all time. 2001 is all visual, pure cinema with hardly a word spoken. Serenity is all dialogue. And gunfire. And I think that's a zither in the soundtrack. The readers must have voted strategically, to get a sequel made.
Not that a sequel would be a bad thing. If I could trade 2010 for another Serenity movie, I would.
Gladly. ...
Serenity is the greatest science fiction movie of all time.
