Best Sci-Fi Movie of All-Time

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2001)

What can I possibly say about this film that hasnt already been stated previously. Nothing I could write or say about this film will bring its proper justice or illustrate the greatness of this film.

No matter how many times I have seen this movie, and believe me it is several. I am still riveted with the brilliance of this classic. Think about life in 1977 from a technical standpoint and think about life in 2001. Computer enhancements, bigger budgets and all of Hollywoods latest toys failed to improve this movie much at all upon the re-release. Only a few cosmetic strokes were applied and the original is left safely intact. George Lucas is the master of his destiny and has never cheapened his reputation by following up his vision by directing anything other than the Star Wars Series. He is the Phil Jackson of Hollywood as he only deals with winners.
Darth Vader is the epitomy of what a villian should be in a movie. Intriguing, dark and potent enough that his presence is felt at every point in the movie. He steals every scene he is in. The mentor relationship between Skywalker&Kenobi is one for the ages. Carrie Fisher at the age of 19 illustrates grace and beauty beyond her years. Han Solo is the maverick & slightly bad boy that females cant resist. There is never been a movie that had such a wide variety of minor characters that are as memorable as Boba Fett, Jabba the Hut, the Jawas, the Sandraiders, Chewbacca, Greedo, the Stormtroopers, and finally C3P0 and R2D2. A pairing of robots whose one sided dialogue is innovative and witty.
This is your classic movie pitting good vs evil and boy becoming a man. There will never be a sci-fi movie as good as Star Wars, and simply put to all of those who have tried and failed. One simply can not re-invent the wheel.
10 out of 10!!!!
