Due to the sheer number of incredible sci-fi films, it seems nearly impossible to narrow down the very best from the speculative and spectacular genre. However, Paste magazine did just that by sharing a list of the "100 best sci-fi movies of all time."
The ranking featured beloved sci-fi films like Ghost in the Shell (1995), The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951), They Live (1988), Soylent Green (1973), E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial(1982), and Stalker (1979). According to Paste, the top five movies from the genre are Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (1977), Aliens(1986), Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back (1980), and Blade Runner (1982), with 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) securing the top spot.
According to the publication, the Stanley Kubrick epic is the top sci-fi film ever made because it encompasses so much of the human experience with beautiful, almost meditative cinematography.
The 1968 film has a score of 90 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and 84 on Metacritic.
Two of the Film's Stars Shared Insight Into the Set During a 2014 Interview
Two of the stars of 2001: A Space Odyssey, Keir Dullea, who played Dr. David "Dave" Bowman, and Gary Lockwood, who played Dr. Frank Poole, shared some insight into the movie's impressive shots during a 2014 interview with BFI.
Dullea described the film's set as "80 feet tall" and similar to an "enclosed Ferris wheel" with "lights shining in." Lockwood also said that "because [the set] was a circle, the camera was on the bottom on rollers."
"The crew, who were pulling the cameras, the grips, were running as fast as they could to try to stay ahead of me. And if you've seen the film, you'll see that I'm a little bit running downhill because I'm slightly on the uphill side of the curve at the bottom of it," recalled the actor, now 89.
Dullea also noted that "everything in 2001 was done physically," without "computer-generated effects."
