Worst Sci Fi Fantasy Movies That Had No Excuse. Bad sci fi and fantasy movies arent merely the province of low budget quickies. Sometimes all the money and talent in Hollywood cant save the world from celluloid disasters. So, rather than just a list of bad movies, this is a list of bad movies that had no excuse movies by respected filmmakers, or from major studios. Movies with box office stars, or sequels to other movies that were great. These are the epic fails of fantasy and sci fi. And this time, the list has been compiled not from a reader vote, but by an panel comprising the SFX team, the SFX bloggers and a few of our special friends, including Paul Cornell, Joe Abercrombie, Jayne Nelson and Steve OBrien. So feel free to call us all sorts of names5. Lost In Space 1. Director Stephen Hopkins Lost In Space isnt such a bad film until the Robinson family actually gets lost, and then it degenerates into a very bad film. Thats when you begin to realise the folly of basing a film on a 6. TV show format that has weekly episodic format hardwired into its DNA. In the small screen the concept of lost in space was merely a hook upon which to hang stories. Rollerball is in this list somewhere but how high did it reach Bad scifi and fantasy movies arent merely the province of lowbudget quickies. With the upcoming releases of Life and Alien Covenant, we rank the most iconic and terrifying science fiction horror movies of all time. Directed by Michael Anderson. With Michael York, Jenny Agutter, Richard Jordan, Roscoe Lee Browne. An idyllic scifi future has one major drawback life must end at. Movie Title Screens SciFi Creature Features of the Mid20th Century the 1950s Title screens are the initial titles, usually projected at the beginning of a. In the film, lost needs to become the plot engine. Sadly, screen director Stephen Hopkins and screenwriter Akiva Goldsman lost the plot completely, and turned the film into an insipid, visually bland time travel tale about a fatherson relationship. So where does that leave the women in the familyIronically, in a story about the fourth dimension all females on board are reduced to two dimensional clichs, defined by one or two characters tropes each. Gary Oldman continues to channel the camp spirit of the original Dr Zachary Smith as if he hasnt got the memo about how this film version is playing it straight. In the end, you think hes made the right decision if you have to appear in this dross you may as well have some fun while youre there. Worst thing about it Blawp, the CG space monkey, which actually looks less convincing than Zoonie the Lazoon in Gerry Andersons Fireball XL5. The film was originally shot with Blawp being played by a Jim Henson Workshop creation, with the CGI version later slapped on over the top. They neednt have bothered. Popeye 1. 98. 0 Director Robert Altman. Legend has it that Robert Altman, director of such acclaimed movies as MASH and Nashville in the early 7. Popeye because, after a series of flops, he needed a hit to help him finance the kind of films he really wanted to make again. This is, in itself, not a bad plan. One fatal flaw Popeye flopped. Very, very badly. Its not difficult to see why. Although the film has been reclaimed by some strange revisionists as a misunderstood classic, the rest of just see a musical which has no decent musical numbers at all well, can you name anyPopeye The Sailor Man excepted, cos that wasnt written for the film an action film with embarrassingly staged stunts a comedy film with little to laugh at and a much loved cartoon that has been reimagined as some social satire about class warfare, with support characters who have been altered out of all recognition. If you though all that talk about taxes was a bit dull and out of place in The Phantom Menace, then steer well clear of Popeye. The worst thing about it The songs. They may have been written by Harry Nilsson famous for such soaringly simple pop beauty as Everybodys Talkin and Without You but there are no classics here. They range from forgettable to unlistenable, made even worse by the range of irritating comedy voices theyre sung in Robin Williams as Popeye sings like a goat on helium and Bluto sounds like Krusty the Clown. Johnny Mnemonic 1. Director Robert Longo. The idea of William Gibson, the author who defined cyberpunk, writing the screenplay to a film based on another of his cyberpunk stories seemed so exciting back in the early 9. This was going to be Neuromancer on screen, surely Sadly, Gibson proved to be one of those writers whose talents didnt extend to screenplays. Although based on a thoroughly enticing idea that Keanu Reeves head is so empty, you could fill it with data and use him as some kind of digital carrier pigeon once you get past the set up, the film descends into an incoherent series of set pieces randomly cut and pasted from various Gibson stories. Reevess standout acting moment is a rant about room service Listen. You listen to me. You see that city over there THATS where Im supposed to be. Not down here with the dogs, and the garbage, and the fing last months newspapers blowing back and forth. Ive had it with them, Ive had it with you, Ive had it with ALL THIS I WANT ROOM SERVICE The Oscar is still in the post. Worst thing about it The psychic dolphin its an idea that works on paper, but just looks embarrassingly naff on screen not helped by the fact that the film came out while sea. Quest DSV, which featured an irritating talking dolphin, was airing on TV. Dungeons And Dragons 2. Director Courtney Solomon. Quite where the 3. There are home made Lord Of The Rings skits on You. Tube these days that are better looking. From the gaudy sets, to the plastic props, to the Pound Shop fancy dress costumes and the inept FX, this is a symphony of crapness. The acting is uniformly terrible and there are some good actors here too Jeremy Irons, Thora Birch, as if all the cast is in a pact to piss off the director as much as possible and yes, that is Tom Baker in the photo. In fact, its so terrible, that under normal circumstances it would be much higher in a worst of list, except that in this case, we think everybody involved knew it was a bit crap The worst thing about it The script its laughably poor on any level bad dialogue, simplistic plotting, dire characters but even as an adaptation of Dungeons And Dragons the game, it is awesomely contemptuous of its source material. Theres a dwarf and an elf in it, because there are dwarves and elves in the game, but they have sod all to do except look ridiculous. Spider Man III 2. Director Sam Raimi. So much has been written about the failure of Spider Man 3, it easy to forget it was actually a massive hit in terms of box office the biggest of the three RaimiSpidey films. So Raimi clearly made a crowd pleaser if not a fan pleaser. Part of the problem was one of expectation. The first two Spider Man films were both deliriously good. Raimi had defined a new way of telling superhero films on screen. But then inexplicably, he seemed to transform, Jekyll Hyde style, from Burton Raimi to Schumacher Raimi, giving us, in Spider Man 3, a film that suffered the same overblown overload of elements as Batman Forever and Batman And Robin though thankfully with fewer puns. Too many villains Venom, Green Goblin, Sandman too many plotlines too many gimmicks disco dancing Peter Parker. The film in itself isnt that bad, but as the third part of an otherwise outstanding trilogy, it felt, and still feels for many, like some kind of betrayal of trust. The worst things about it Venom being completely and utterly wasted. Though the dance routine comes close4. Star Wars Episode II Attack of the Clones 2. Director George Lucas. There will be those who think the voting panel must be mad to include Attack Of The Clones in this list, and not The Phantom Menace, but we stand by our judgement. Episode I may have some major problems, but at least it has a beginning, a middle and an end. Episode II has a middle, a middle and more middle, and none of it is very interesting. Episode I had two great lightsaber battles. Episode II has Yoda flying about like green ping pong ball. Episode I had the admittedly overlong but still spectacular pod race. Episode II had C3. POs comedy slapstick on a conveyor belt. And while Episode I had some ropey dialogue, it didnt go anywhere nears as low as Episode II s I dont like sand.
