The Worse of the Worst

Okay, list the most horrible sci-fi TV shows and movies you've ever seen.

I don't mean stuff you simply hate yourself personally, like "Firefly" or "Lost" (examples; I LOVE "Firefly").

But, isn't that kind of the point? There really isn't an objective list of absolute worst movies or TV shows. Everything tends to find an audience, so you can only list the things you personally don't like here.

Having said that, my list in no particular order:

LOST
Firefly
Lexx
Star Trek V: The Final Frontier
Fringe
Cloverfield
Heroes
Surface
seaQuest DSV
nuKnight Rider

You heard me.
 
The Man With the Screaming Brain.

When even Bruce Campbell can't save a movie, you know something terrible has been done...
 
Not counting obvious "b" movies:

Battlefield Earth-As bad as you've heard and prob worse
Armageddon-Sensationally bad. Dialogue from Hell
Doom-I grit my teeth when I type that movie...hate it beyond all words.
Wing Commander-Could be nominated for worst casting and production design from a movie, post-1985
Ice Pirates-What were they thinking
Flash Gordon-The potential of what it could have been makes it even worse.
The Adventures of Pluto Nash-I never finished watching it
Android-Borefest
STV-Everything people think they hate about ST all wrapped up in one package
 
Wing Commander
Pluto Nash (biggest Box Office failure ever)
Plan 9 from Outer Space (classic fail)
Star Trek: TMP (sorry, it bored me, and I'm a huge ST fan)
Battlefield Earth (one of the worst movies, ever)
 
I liked Flash Gordon, a much treasured cult classic with great turns from Bryan Blessed, Max Von Sydrow, and Timothy Dalton, and while Voyager clearly wasn't as good as TOS, TNG, DS9 in most respects, it still had it's moments and I'm enjoying S4 more than I expected on Virgin 1.

Godzilla (98) - A turgid borefest that was a step down from Independence Day and that's fucking saying something. And how can a 200 ft tall dinosaur vanish on a island with a population of 6 million and crawling with half the US Military?
At World's End - Primarily a meandering snorefest on the high seas that, with an exception of a few good action scenes, nearly throws away all the goodwill generated by The Curse of the Black Pearl and Dead Man's Chest.
Andromeda - I found it complete cheese from the minute go, I bailed long before Kevin Sorbo allegedly took the reigns of the show and turned it from mediocre to awful.
The Mummy Returns - Sugar coated, syrapy gash.
Bonekickers - You can whinge on and on and on about Doctor Who being a clagfest, but boy even the first season of Torchwood cannot approach the hypnotic, blood curdling badness of Bonekickers. The worst program the BBC comissioned in the last ten years and deservedly sank without a trace as well.
Stargate: Atlantis - The very definition of 'meh'.
Smallville - Why the fuck is this still going on?!
The Lost World - Badly directed and thouroughly mediocre.
Jurassic Park III - Ouch.
Mortal Kombat - One reason why video game films are widely seen as very bad.
Street Fighter - Another one.
Mortal Kombat II - And another.
Thunder in Paradise - Does anybody remember a early 90s TV show starring Hulk Hogan in a hightech speedboat with stealth capabilities and AI? If you say 'no' then you're lucky buggers.
 
Flesh Gordon ---and no, that's not a typo.

Although, this could be in the category of, "so bad, it's amusing," I suppose.
 
I'm going to play my "Batman and Robin" card one more time, Alex!

“Batman & Robin is not the worst movie ever. No, indeed. It's the worst thing ever. Yes, it’s the single worst thing that we as human beings have ever produced in recorded history.”
 
Battlefield Earth! Oh my gosh that movie destroyed my soul.

Batman and Robin was appallingly horrible.

It's been years and years since I've seen it but I remember laughing my ass off(not in a good way) at the Wing Commander movie.

Manos: the Hands of Fate. Anyone who has not seen this...please...seek it out. You'll never be the same after watching it...
 
What would you note for the worst sci fi/fantasy movie ever?

ok, most forums may have seen enough 'best of' lists to last a lifetime of non stop viewing! :) ..but what films get your vote for the absolute worst science fiction movie ever? the film you choose has to have a great reason as to why you pick it over anything else! Of course, many absolutely terrible films can often warrant a viewing in their own right, usually out of sheer curiosity or with the high novelty/comedy factor! :) what film gets your vote for supreme downright awfulness?!
 
Re: What would you note for the worst sci fi/fantasy movie ever?

Does 2004's Catwoman count as a scifi?
 
Re: What would you note for the worst sci fi/fantasy movie ever?

Star Crystal (1986) is easily the worst sci-fi movie I've ever seen.

Terrible--and not in a fun, Plan 9 from Outer Space way. Just... terrible.
