Serenity
It wasn't my cup of tea and probably means a lot more to people that watched the series. Personally I had never heard of it before, the series or the movie. It was somewhat inventive but what I'll remember most is that the crew on Mal's ship were so good looking and have such great hair, which I think is no small feat when you're winging across the galaxy fighting a war.
Another observation about sci-fi in general, why do they always end up relying on people fighting each other in a hand to hand manner like with swords, judo, light sabers, etc? No matter how advanced humankind gets future wars always seem to end up with two guys having a well choreographed judo style fight. What's up with that? Wars aren't fought that way now much less in the future. Imagine if the battle of Baghdad boiled down to Rumsfeld (Yoda) and Hussien (Count Dooku) duking it out with swords in one of Saddams palaces.
