Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey has been voted the science fiction movie with the most realistic vision of the future.
Sky Movies asked scientists from leading universities including Oxford, St Andrews and King's College London, to consider the visions of the future portrayed in sci-fi films and decide which was the most likely to come true.
Professor Mark Brake from the University of Glamorgan, who was polled in the survey, claimed: "2001 raised science fiction cinema to a new level. The unfolding four-million-year filmic story brilliantly portrays Arthur C. Clarke's disturbing man-machine encounter with HAL; a computer turned murderer.
"This unsettling scenario is not something we would ever want to imagine happening in reality, but it is not beyond the realms of possibility that artificial intelligence could turn on its creators."
Ridley Scott's iconic film Blade Runner was also rated highly by the scientists, with experts claiming its genetic-engineered 'replicants' were a very real possibility in the future.
Professor Stephen Hsu, from the University of Oregon, said: "There is every reason to believe that technology will someday permit us to genetically engineer human-like life forms like the 'replicants' in Blade Runner."

PETE WENTZ fuelled reports he will wed fiancee ASHLEE SIMPSON in a ceremony this weekend (begs17May08) when he stepped out for a wild night with her father and a band of male pals in Los Angeles on Thursday night (15May08).
The couple is rumoured to be exchanging vows in Encino, California on Saturday (17May08).
The Fall Out Boy bassist was joined at Los Angeles restaurant Mr. Chow by his bandmates, and Simpson's father Joe, Good Charlotte rocker Joel Madden and an army of friends.
Wentz was spotted sneaking out the back door as his friends all left by the entrance.
Ashlee's older sister Jessica reportedly joined the group when it moved the party to a nearby hotel, while bride-to-be Ashlee was allegedly hosting a bachelorette party at Kiki De Montparnasse, a luxury lingerie store.
Hollywood actor AL PACINO has declared his support for British boxer JOE CALZAGHE - insisting watching him fight is "almost like acting".
The Scarface star has followed Calzaghe's career closely and has travelled abroad to watch him box on several occasions.
The sportsman is currently gearing up for his first fight in the U.S. on 19 April (08) in Las Vegas against American Bernard Hopkins.
And Pacino is going to be supporting the Welsh boxer all the way.
He says, "Not many people know Calzaghe but he is an amazing boxer, as is Bernard Hopkins. So it is going to be the most amazing fight, I am so looking forward to seeing it.
"(Watching Calzaghe fight) was almost like acting."
David Bowie fans can dust off their glitter trousers as the Thin White Duke is planning a musical theatre version of his hits, a tabloid reports.
The Sun says a version of the 1976 cult sci-fi film The Man Who Fell To Earth will be hitting the West End after Bowie gave his permission for work to begin on the project.
According to a source quoted by the newspaper, the involvement of director Peter Schaufuss is what swung the decision.
"David has been approached many times with a view of turning his songs into a stage production but he has always said no," the insider said.
"He guards his legacy carefully and didn't want a cheesy show tarnishing it."
That has all changed now, however, meaning classic Bowie hits like Starman, Life on Mars and Ziggy Stardust will be gracing the West End stages at some point in the near future.
The Man Who Fell To Earth will be hoping it does as well as other musicals based on the songs of former pop icons.
Abba's Mamma Mia, Madness' Our House and Queen's We Will Rock You have all been big West End hits.
