What are your top Sci-Fi moment(s) in film?

A top 5 list would be good to read.

Fire...

When the docking bay doors open up revealing Ripley has strapped herself into a loader- Aliens

When Gort exits the ship-Day the Earth stood still

Opening sequence- the matrix

When the gas truxk explodes, melting the flesh off the terminator revealing its exoskeleton- Terminator

Opening sequence-A new hope, star wars

Opening Scene of where Trinity is being chased by Agent Brown, that movie was something different indeed.

First look at the Dinosaurs in Jurrassic Park.

T-1000 coming out of the floor in T2.

Neo dodging bullets in The Matrix.

My top 5 would all be from Star Wars.
I picked the best moment from Star Wars and chose 4 from other movies.


1) Star Wars ep. 6: Luke vs. Vader vs. Sidious
2) Planet of the Apes (68 ver): The finding of the Statue of Liberty
3) Alien/Aliens: Ripleys last fight with the Alien
4) E.T.: E.T. waking up from the dead
5) Terminator: The hunting in the factory (end of the movie).

terminator: police station scene.
pota: statue of liberty scene
alien: chest bursting scene
2001 space oddysey - hals madness
..

Watch the opening of Hitchcock's Vertigo. There is a similar roof top chase, the way it's filmed, oh and without the leaping...

1) Starscream takes down a fleet of jets
-Transformers

2) The failed Robocop scene when one rips its own head off and the other kills the two scientists then himself
-Robocop (Can't remember which, I think it was 2)

3) When the liquid Terminator reformed after getting frozen
-Terminator 2

4) Chestbuster scene
-Alien

5) General Grievous revealing his four arms
-Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith

There is only one moment that stands out in my mind. The Robocop Nut shot.

The scene in Aliens when the Marines are forced to surrender their ammunition when under the reactor. The Aliens are agitated and begin to slaughter the marines and the bag containing the ammo explodes. Vasquez and drake reveal their hidden clips and open fire, "lets ROCK!!"

I have to agree with dean martin on the T-rex scene in jurassic park, that was and always will be aces

Murphy gets dismembered by shotguns and assualt rifles in the directors cut of Robocop.

The sequence where the camera descends under the canopy of umbrella's and finds Rick Deckard reading his paper.

AvP when Scar comes flying through the air, twists/turns in mid air, sticks his comb stick into the alien queens neck and lands perfectly

One of my top SCI FI moments other than Arnold saying "I'll be back" in the first Terminator movie are the excellent lines during Luke's and Vader's fight in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

1) POTA 1968 - The Hunt
2) 2001 - the last 20 mins
3) as much as i dislike 99% of THE PHANTOM MENACE ill go for the bit where the hangar doors open to reveal Darth Maul and Duel of the Fates theme kicks in...goosbumps time
4) Tom Bakers Doctor Who agonizing over whether to avert the creation of the Daleks
5) The introduction of Darth Vader in STAR WARS IV - A NEW HOPE

1 Taylor (Charlton Heston) finding out what is at the heart of the Forbidden Zone in Planet of the Apes

2 The first appearance of the Shadow vessels in Babylon 5

3 Charlton Heston (again!) learning from his dying friend what Soylent Green really is

4 The final scene of John Carpenters The Thing

5Asuka Langley Soryu dying to the strains of Beethoven's Ode to Joy in Neon Genesis Evangelion

T-rex scenes in JP

I'm going to include two moments in my number one spot because you can't mention one without the other.

1) When Batty saves Deckard from falling and says "Kinship" in Blade Runner and Batty's death speech.

2) The "Dogtown" scene in John Carpenter's The Thing

3) The opening scene in Star Wars: A New Hope

4) Chestburster scene in Alien

5) Children of Men, the 4 minute trackshot in the woods

For me the secret of Soylent Green.

Roy smashing his head though the wall from BLADE RUNNER

The platform scene in MIMIC

The guy flicking his lighter on in PITCH BLACK

The classic Chestburster scene in ALIEN

Thats a great one. It reminds me of the twilight zone episode, to serve man. "Dont get on the ship, it's a cook book!"

yeh that was a great twlight zone episode.

My top sci-fi/fantasty moments:

Vader, in silhouette, ignites his lightsabre in the Carbon Freezing Chamber on Bespin

When Burgess Meredith breaks his glasses in Time Enought at Last.

The pan-shot/montage of Neo-Tokyo in Akira. The soundtrack really makes that scene. (The whole movie really. Despite it being dreadfully confusing unless you've read the comics)

Richard Dryfus looking back one last time before he boards the ship, in Close Encounters

When the Skeksis and Mystics recombine in The Dark Crystal

Kirk/Picard's opening monolouge in any episode of Star Trek

One of the best scenes from any movie is at the end of Blade Runner when Roy Batty gives his last words: "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe..."
