So with star wars episode 9 coming out lots people said to go watch other space ship with lazer movies as a generic response to not to go see the movie. But then I got thinking, is there really anything else but star wars on big screen? As much as I'm not into the story of the new movies where else can you get epic space battles?
I mean world, vietnam, iraq war movies, ancient,medievil armies, colonial etc there have been tons of movies with huge epic army battles, even fantasy like lord of rings feed that itch. But in terms of space fighting? The only thing that springs to mind is like some of the galactic stuff in marvel movies, and enders game or some tv shows movies like serenity, star trek. Every thing else is like the death star run, hoth, battle for endor, clone wars, battle of coursant, battle at Scarif, even 7 and 8 had fair amount space stuff, ie mostly star wars.
Most seem to be in video game or TV. sins, mass effect, babylon 5, star trek, battlestar, expanse, legend of galactic heroes, crest of the stars, clone wars (also star wars) etc.
I'm sure there are lots of 80's or 60's ones I missed. But in last 20 years star wars pretty much holds that title on the big screen.
Anyone with recommendations, or which one is your favourite, also is star wars up there as the best in field?
