The most important tournament of our time has returned: io9’s March Movie Madness. Last year the bracket of doom bestowed the honor of greatest science fiction movie ever made on Serenity. Much to the surprise of many of us, Whedon’s space adventure beat out Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in the final round. But such is the way of the bracket.
