Game - Best Sci Fi Imagery in a Film.

In many science fiction and fantasy movies there are what I will term "consept shots" Usally these shots are spectacular and almost art like, and often they contain a consept that bring even more life into the shot. Just for fun (and also a list of top quality movies to spring up) Post in this thread a image from your fav sci fi / fantasy shot, as well as a short description of "why".


Rules
  • Think of a movie shot you love
  • The shot can be a "short sequence"
  • Post the image into this thread (use the [ img ], [ /img ] bbcodes)
  • Underneath write a short description of why you love the shot so much.

This shot has it all... we are on a desertred space colony, we are flying strait into hell, depicted as a thermonucular reactor, in the MIDDLE of exploding. There is a gigantic moster inside. One small ship.. flying into it. Top Stuff in my book.

hey...is that FS? :wacky:

liked the opening sequences of first SW (1977) and last SW (2005). like everything in RotS, it piggy-backs off the same idea in the original, but in this case done with competence. so looking at ANH, stars in the distant background coming off of the crawl, focus on a moon, then two, then the first shot of tatooine. nice. calm. spacey. a space ship flies over the camera. this is all taken for granted, stock sci-fi footage today. but here is where I first saw it. then, of course, blam blam blam. star fight! add some surround sound laser blasts firing overhead and you're like "oh yeah. it's on!" first thing you see is the nose of the star destroyer then there's that shot looking back on the fight with the custodian in the foreground, effaced by the huge stardestroyer behind it. unique and original? eh, this is SW. let's just say stock & memorable in a good way.
Life ducks, and you sigh.
