Back to the Future 3 is the black sheep of the three, but it's still a decent film if you are a fan of the franchise. If you've seen the other two, there's no reason why you shouldn't see the third. You should see it just for the sake of completeness. Also, you like westerns, so I think you'd find some fun stuff here. Especially all the nods to the Eastwood spaghetti westerns.
The reason why it has so many votes is because the Back to the Future franchise is just so popular.

Oh, come on. It's not that bad. I guess it's just different for me because I saw it when I was a kid. I had kid blinds on I guess. Even when I watch it today, I still don't think it's that bad. Maybe it's just because it was a part of my childhood. I'm sure you or other people saw it when you were kids too and hated it. I guess I was just easier to please.

BTTF3 isn't a bad movie, it just had Godfather III syndrome...how can it possibly live up to the first two films of equally great quality in the eyes of society? It feels very different from the first two films (aside from the old west setting) because the plot doesn't have the personal tie ins for Marty that the first two films have and, to me, Doc is a character that works better as a foil than an actual human being but maybe that's just me.

Definitely shocking seeing all these BTTF3 votes, especially without BTTF2 nominated. I don't think it's right to vote for the third movie just because the first toe were great. Yet The Final Countdown, a vastly better film, has just four votes. Not fair.
I've been fortunate that a few of the smaller films I love in this tournament like Moon has done well...but I am afraid the two I want to advance more than the rest, Fantastic Planet and The Arrival, haven't been seen by enough people to get the necessary votes so I hope they are in weaker groups: I've seen both films in the double digits and, at the very least, I hope some people check out these two gems of the genre.

Why does George McFly's grandma look just like his wife?
Nice avatar, path. I wanted to nominate Alien Nation, a pretty good film, but other, better films had to be nominated first.
My sentiments exactly. Seems we should be able to spread some love beyond just seriously putting films up for Best Science Fiction.

There is currently a 3 way tie for the final berth.
Pretty compact voting here, no clear favorites.
Unlikely a new member comes along now and saves Final Countdown. Hopefully people who have already voted give it a try; then some will ask to add them. Otherwise, I'll be reduced to rooting for Tron. Anything is better than Transformers! Come on, folks... don't make me root for Tron!
Don't worry, Transformers is toast. It looks like Ghost in the Shell has the 6th slot wrapped up.
I would've preferred The Final Countdown, personally, but anything's better than Transformers.
Whew! Sheesh! Glad I'm not really in charge of keeping track of all these polls.
Living robots from another planet is not "Sci-Fi"? I know it was created from a "Toy" (God, how many of these things I had to buy my son in the day), but they still managed to turn it into a very successful franchise. If not "SYFY" then what?

Most superheroes technically do range somewhere within science fiction. You have to give some credit to the comic writers way back for knowing how to smarten up the toys a little more than Go-Bots with extraterrestrial rationale. Dumbing that story down again with Megan Fox is just so impressive in the opposite direction.
And Transformers is out.
