about

What’s the best science fiction film of all time?

What’s the best science fiction film of all time? As it celebrates its 60th Birthday does Star Trek reign supreme or did Interstellar go more boldly? Does E.T. outshine Alien in accuracy? Join Jamie Gallagher, a terminal Trekkie, and Simon Watt, a sci-fi cynic, as they delve into the movie archives and debate the ultimate question: what is the best science fiction film of all time? They’ll explore classics and hidden gems of the genre as they weigh scientific accuracy against cinematic merit. They want your input, too! Bring your smartphone to play along and help decide which film deserves the top spot.
