Choose *your* scifi movie for 2009.

[StarTrek1701]

Rules are simple: you are told you cannot watch any but just *one* movie for the upcoming year.
Which do you choose? Poll is above, choose after thinking, most welcome to give a brief explanation for your choice.

 

[T'Baio]

Mmm...Avatar.

 

[stj]

That's easy---none. Watchmen has the most potential, but it's also the most easily abused because it's got problems. The rest? You wonder why they were made.

 

[Ward Fowler]

Watchmen all the way. Right now its looking much better than Star Trek.

Even Trek?

 

[MeanJoePhaser]

Star Trek, with the train wreck that will be GI JOE coming in second.

 

[Venardhi]

Avatar is James Cameron, plain and simple. Out of principle I want to vote for it, but the script I read a few years back didn't exactly inspire me so I'm gonna go with Watchmen.

 

[BigFoot]

Underworld 3 followed by Transformers 2 and T4. Oh and there's also Star Trek and Wolverine. 2009 should be fun.

 

[Hermiod]

Star Trek. Easily.

 

[MattJC]

Avatar is the only one I will probably go see.
Maybe Terminator 4 as well.

 

[Aragorn]

I'll probably see a few, but Star Trek has my biggest interest.

 

[MyCylon]

Terminator - So far, this one has me the most excited. I really liked the trailers and many of the designs so far. I love T1, really like T2 and enjoy T3 a lot. So I'm thinking I'm at least going to enjoy this one. Plus it has Bale in it whose work I've been liking a lot.

 

[DeafPoet]

Star Trek with Watchmen coming in second.

Wolverine I'll check out on DVD unless a friend drags me or something. Maybe Avatar too depending on what the word of mouth is like.

The rest of them look pretty brutal.

 

[Niorah]

Watchmen looks simply amazing, and having read the graphic novel, I am anxious to find out if they were able to truly transpose it into the movie. It was after all one of the best things I had ever read.

 

[28VulcansLater]

If I could only choose one, Star Trek

 

[Cky]

There's only 4 films there that I actually want to watch. I would have liked to have seen Underworld but it's a prequel.

The films I've widdled it down to is Star Trek (obviously), X-Men: Origins, Terminator Salvation (it's got christian bale, it's going to be good), and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

Personally, it's going to be Transformers for me. Star Trek is good, but it doesn't have probably the best film of 2007 running behind it.

 

[Australis]

If I must choose one, obviously Trek, maybe Watchmen after that.

But this could be good too:

 

[Locutus of Bored]

If I had to pick only one, Star Trek.

I will see all of these in the theater:

Watchmen
Terminator: Salvation
X-Men Origins: Wolverine
Avatar
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Don't care about the other three, though I might check out Underworld and Night at the Museum as DVD rentals if I hear good things.

 

[cardinal biggles]

It's Star Trek for me, though I'll definitely see Watchmen and Transformers in the theater, and will most likely rent Wolverine on DVD when it comes out.

 

[Lonemagpie]

Star Trek, with Watchmen and Terminator Salvation as runners up
