Brits Choose “Serenity” As Their Fav
Source: BBC News
Space thriller “Serenity” has beaten “Star Wars” to the title of best sci-fi movie in an SFX magazine poll of 3,000 fans.
The futuristic release from 2005 was based on the short-lived TV series Firefly. Both were the work of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” creator Joss Whedon.
“Star Wars” - which Whedon has conceded had “an enormous influence” on “Serenity” - came second in the survey.
“Blade Runner” was third, followed by “Planet of the Apes,” “The Matrix,” “Alien” and “Forbidden Planet.”
Of course - did you expect anything else from us Brits?!
Also, for anyone who’s interested, SFX is the best sci-fi mag you can get in the UK - and obviously it’s readers have taste!
