The Best Sci-Fi Films of 2009

John Scalzi has a good list.

The only one I haven't seen yet is "Avatar," and the Cine-Sib and I are going to watch it together this week. I saw "District 9" but didn't have time to write a review (short version: great flick but in too many places the "social message" is laid on with a trowel, and you know that I hate being preached at. Plus, was it me, or was it just a little reminiscent of "Alien Nation" with uglier aliens?)

IMHO, for sheer splashy fun, the best sci fi flick was JJ Abrams' "Star Trek" reboot, while I give the palm for performance to Sam Rockwell in "Moon."
