Only the gentle are ever really strong.
Planet of the Apes is the only one to get my vote here.

Easy: Contact and Gattaca. Two utterly mind-blowing films.
There can only be one choice: 2001: A Space Odyssey

How is The Matrix leading?
Some actual shenanigans here. Becca and Merlin voted more than they should have.

Good catch.
Becca, Merlin - you are only allowed to vote for 2 films in Round 3. Please let me know which film you wish to remove your vote for.
Hopefully I can get in 2001 before the poll closes.

If Contact gets eliminated....
Personally, I would never consider Contact as one of the top sci-first films. Planet of the Apes however definitely deserves to make it forward. I can't believe The Matrix is going to beat it

The Matrix is going to beat out all these thoughtful films (except X-men)

Why not? I've seen it on many Top X Sci-Fi Movies of All Time lists, and personally, it's one of my favorite films of the 1990s of any genre. An amazing film: it's deep and philosophical, beautifully shot and exceptionally acted, and presents probably the best scene of first contact with a different life form.
I preferred The Arrival though both are solid sci-fi films.

I just checked my 1990s rankings (here) and I've got Contact as the 11th best movie of the 1990s. Seems right.
Big fan of Contact. But my votes went to The Matrix and The Planet of the Apes.
I thought The Matrix was an outstanding film. (Full disclosure--I never watched any of the sequels so there was no subsequent crap to diminish the film in my mind).
The Matrix deserves its place among the top echelon of sci fi and I'm prepared to fight (vote) for it to the death!
FOR ZIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNN
You guys are going to have to explain what was so great about that film, because I absolutely hated it. I was so bored watching it.

The Matrix is good but I just can't watch it anymore.

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
The first Matrix was good but the sequels were terrible. But they all pale in comparison to the profound films like Contact and Gattaca.
Well, before The Matrix, philosophy professors had to explain questions of reality vs. virtual reality one classroom at a time.
It's a much better overall film. On every level. The Matrix is a cool-looking action film, could even be argued it's a superhero film. I like it, but it's not better than Gattaca, and certainly not Contact.
I know you think it's a much better film! lol
I mean specifics. What about Gattaca specifically?
