The Great Science Fiction Movie Poll - Semifinals

Update, April 23: We're into the final round of voting.

We started out back on March 25th with 132 movies. Voting in the week following pared that number down to the top 32 movies by April 1st, then down to 8 movies on April 9th. Well, now we're down to the semifinal round, only four movies remain, the winners from last week's voting. You can vote once in each of the two semifinal polls (you have to click Submit separately for each poll), and voting closes on Monday, April 23rd at 2300 GMT. Be sure to pass the word around.

Last week I had the top eight movies in the quarter finals. The head-to-head matchups were based on the previous week's voting, with the top movie going against the 8th-place movie, 4 vs 5, 3 vs 6, and 2 vs 7. This week the winner of the 1 vs 8 matchup goes against the winner of 4 vs 5, and the winner of 3 vs 6 goes against the winner of 2 vs 7.

So, the first semifinal brings us one movie that totally blew away its competition last week, against another movie that just barely won its quarterfinal round.

The second semifinal matchup coincidentally pits one Harrison Ford movie against another. While this might make it a tougher decision for Harrison Ford fans, at least they can take comfort in the fact that a Harrison Ford movie is guaranteed to be in the finals.
