Sci-fi ratings

Blade Runner to Dune, and everything that argued about robots, time or space in between. The genre with the most films that were dismissed on release and reassessed a decade later, which the audience score tends to catch and the contemporary reviews do not.

How these ratings are built

Ratings blend the Letterboxd audience average with the Metacritic critic score, each standardised inside the genre, then ranked within sci-fi and curved onto 40-99. Where a film has no Metascore, usually an older or smaller release, the audience average carries it alone and the basis line says so.

Every rating in this category runs on the same 40 to 99 scale the rest of the game uses. There are 185 entries here across 6 pools. In the game itself these numbers stay hidden until the verdict screen, which is the whole point of the auction; this page is the reference copy, for settling arguments after the fact.

This is the all-time pool. It takes the best of every decade and re-spreads them across the full 40-99 range among themselves, so an all-time draft has the same shape as a decade draft. That is why an entry here carries a different number from the one it has in its own decade table above.
