Sci-Fi Tournament - Top 8

omg have you not seen any of these sci-fi's?

Joseph Smith

To vote between Terminator and Predator is not fair at all. That would tear my heart out. Just cover me in cold mud and run your thermal scan, if you can.

She would. She would. They should make a Predator - Terminator crossover movie. The terminator would say "Hold my skin" and the predator would say "Uh oh...That never happened before."

Charles Mills

I’m sure she will end up watching both.

Patrick, I’ve watched a few reactions to 2001, and they were great. And you don’t need minute by minute commentary. As one reactor noted, the silence, the long periods of movement gives you time to just appreciate beauty. Beauty is not appreciated much any more. Our society expects noise, busyness, bludgeoning the story over our heads, and we can’t recognize and appreciate beauty in its quiet simplicity. I quote a reviewer: “'2001' requires you to watch in a different way than you normally watch films. It requires you to relax. It requires you to experience strange and beautiful images without feeling guilty that there is no complex plot or detailed characterization. Don't get me wrong, plots and characters are good, but they're not the be-all and end-all of everything. There are different KINDS of film, and to enjoy '2001' you must tune your brain to a different wavelength and succumb to the pleasure of beauty, PURE beauty, unfettered by the banal conventions of everyday films.”

I honestly think 2001 would be a bad choice for a reaction. The movie is such an immersive sensory experience that I don't think it would lend itself to minute-by-minute commentary like that.

Patrick Flanagan

I gotta stop visiting these comment threads.

Jack the Narrator

If thus comes down to Predator and Terminator....Cassie wouldn't do that to me though, would she...?

Michael Hyland

Ikr Predator is where Arnold became the king of the cheesy one liners!! “Stick around” with a knife through you🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Freddy Spence

I can’t believe close encounters was not only beat, but destroyed!!

Freddy Spence

Would it be possible to keep the polls open a little longer? I sleep days so by time I checked the poll was already closed. Help a night shifter out :)

Richard Maurer

I’m for both, but too much of either is tedious.

Catherine LW

In reality you should end up watching all of these. Very differently movies but all pretty great. At least the ones still in the running.

Predator is my favorite action movie of all time and my favorite to win the tourny. If it bleeds you can kill it 😎

Tyrus

Also keep up the reactions. It is definitely awesome seeing you enjoy films I’ve enjoyed and don’t forget to react to THE FANTASTIC MR FOX 🦊 in the future.

Sci-fi is a very polarizing genre at times. You have those that want something deep thinking life topic and others that just want entertainment. I’m also enjoying the squabble over $3 and $11 donation.

So many good movies still in the running! Even if it doesn't win though, I'd still love Cassie to watch The Fifth Element at some point. =)

Blade runner better win this

k c

Well I hope it wins over the mindless Predator. At least it has some intelligence.

Catherine LW

Happy to see Blade Runner continue towards its path to victory despite all the salt in the comments. 😁

I can’t believe Predator is beating 2001. Philistines. 🤦🏻‍♀️
