Science fiction is actually loads older than you think. In fact, its origins can be traced all the way back to the epic poems of the early Greeks. These wonderful tales, which featured a huge variety of gods and monsters meet during fantastic voyages to far-off worlds have many parallels even with today’s sci-fi. Jason’s journey aboard the Argo, for example, may have taken place in the Mediterranean, but could equally have happened in deep space. Jason, guided by a talking beam built into the Argo which could represent an early prototype of HAL or Mother, captained his ship and crew through encounters with incredible creatures such as the six-armed giants, the Gegenees, the Clashing Rocks and the Stymphalian Birds, with feathers made of pointed bronze.

However, Isaac Asimov and Carl Sagan consider Somnium, written by Johannes Kepler in 1620, to be the first ever true sci-fi story. The first ever sci-fi film, A Trip to the Moon released in 1902, dealt with the same theme, space travel. Wildly popular at the time, it set the stage for movies we’ve grown to know and love. As a tribute to these imaginative gems, here are the seven sci fi movie quotes we love best.
