Best Sci-Fi Of 2005
by Sci-Fi Brain Staff
The end of 2005 has come, and we celebrate the arrival of 2006 with our Best Sci-Fi Of 2005 awards. Did your favorite TV show or movie win?
 BEST SCI-FI FILM
WINNER: Serenity
Runner-up: War of the Worlds, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
Joss Whedon does it once again, and thanks to all the fans who spent so much time trying to revive the 'canceled before its time' television series, sci-fi fans got one heck of a movie. Serenity kept the charm and feel of the television series, but blew it up to twice its size and slapped it onto theaters across the country. Fans were disappointed that more people didn't turn out to watch the movie, but that isn't any fault of the movie, since it was easily the best sci-fi film of the year. One of the first sci-fi adventure/action films to blend drama and comedy so well in quite some time, Serenity is one of those films you can watch again and again, and is one that should not be missed.
BEST SCI-FI DIRECTOR
WINNER: Joss Whedon
Runner-up: Steven Spielberg
You can't really have a Best Film without a Best Director, so it is only natural that Joss Whedon – directing his first movie – wins the award for Best Director. With all the characters and plot going on in Serenity, it would've been easy for a director to come in and make a mess out of it all, but Joss knew exactly what to do with the script he wrote. The movie is filled with memorable shots such as River framed by a burning swing, that you can't help but hope Joss Whedon gets to direct another film very, very soon. Hopefully, another Serenity film at that.
BEST SCI-FI VILLAIN (TV OR FILM)
WINNER: Cylons
Runner-up: The Operative (Chiwetel Ejiofor from Serenity), Emperor/Darth Vader combo
BEST SCI-FI NOVEL/COMIC BOOK/GRAPHIC NOVEL:
WINNER: Infinite Crisis
Runner-up: Astonishing X-Men
