8. Serenity (2005)

One of my favorite things about Joss Whedon’s conception of the future in his brilliant, but short-lived western-series-in-space “Firefly” and subsequent feature film continuation “Serenity,” is that there are no aliens. Whedon has dreamed up a fate for humans in which we successfully colonize space, but haven’t made contact with any alien life. In this version of the future, the humans prove that in the space travel years, it looks like we’re going to need several languages and a whole bunch of planets to make a proper mess of things in the ‘verse.

Capt. Malcolm Reynolds: You all wanna be looking very intently at your own belly buttons. I see a head start to rise, violence is going to ensue. Probably guessed we mean to be thieving here but what we’re after is not yours. So, let’s have no undue fussing.
