When it comes to what makes a great film, there are a number of different factors. To some degree what exactly makes the audience love one film over another can be quite different. For instance, there are some people who love to have the entire story wrapped up in a neat little bow like Armageddon, where everyone who was watching the movie knows exactly how it ends.

Sure, the people of earth won that fight, but what if there were more aliens that decided to come back with bigger and better ships (sort of like Independence Day 2.) Then there are of course science fiction films that are intentionally ambiguous. The point of the flick is really to make people keep guessing about what just happened and how. Those films can be among the best of the genre because they have people leaving the theater discussing what they think really went down.
