Dune

What didn’t work for the disastrous "Dune Movie" in 1984 (in development hell since 1971), worked splendid in this SciFi miniseries.

Costumes, music, actors all fitted the legendary story by Frank Herbert perfectly and the special effects enhanced the experience even more.

"Dune" was SciFi channel’s most watched production ever at that time and a hugely succesful follow-up "Children Of Dune" was released in 2003.

 

Some recent HOT Hollywood gossip claimed that movie studios have quietly commissioned a screenplay for a brand new Dune movie. Hopefully more news on that soon… to be continued!

Battlestar Galactica

The original seventies show was once conceived as a Star Wars competitor. But while the original didn’t live up to the hype, its SciFi remake certainly did!

 

Battlestar Galactica tells the story of the doomed human race. Defeated by robots man once created to serve them - the Cyclons. Mankind is on the run and Battlestar Galactica is their only hope for survival. It’s the only battleship left to protect the fleet with survivors.

The plot has lots of twists and the characters a lot of depth. This is one of the most chilling and exciting TV shows out there thanks in part to an extremely talented cast.

Stargate SG-1

If you want some great fun, Stargate SG-1 is an excellent choice!

The show’s creators have perfected their storylines with the right mixture of adventure, special effects, humor and a well balanced team of main characters.

 

While the show now has a sister series called ‘Stargate Atlantis’, Stargate SG-1 originally started as a spinoff to the 1994 blockbuster ‘Stargate’. After 10 seasons on television the show goes on in the form of direct to DVD movies.

 

Kylie Minogue fans are currently petitioning to get their superstar to guest star on the show. So please join the fun and support it here.

The X-files

Scully and Mulder are back in the new X-files movie ‘The X-Files: I Want to Believe’ (2008)!

But nothing can outshine the feel (and hype that came along with it) of the original series. The chilling X-files tune, conspiracy theories, murder…

The show still is the highlight for David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson and the show’s creator Chris Carter.

Star Trek

The classic scifi phenomenon has had so many iterations it’s hard to keep score.

The movies, the original show and follow-ups like Voyager, Deep Space Nine, Star Trek and maybe the most memorable Star Trek: The Next Generation with appearances by Whoopi Goldberg and Patrick Steward as captian Jean Luke Picard.

 

It’s an enormous franchise even though the hype surrounding it has died down. You should get ready for a new round of Trekkie Mania when ‘Lost’ creator J.J. Abrams releases his own Star Trek Movie in theaters May 2009!
