Lost is not science fiction
Star Wars is not science fiction - sure it has gadgets and laser swords, but it also has people running around sand dunes in dark age cloaks - SW is fantasy
In that sense, Star Trek is far more technically accurate, but I like SW more than ST.
The Matrix is not as original as it seems. The whole premise has been a matter of philosophical debate for centuries, from before the birth of christ. The makers just amalgamated a lot of beliefs and myths across cultures into a comprehensive and complicated movie. But think if the Matrix is far removed from Terminator, or some other steampunk/cyberpunk movies that predated it like Dark City or Orgazmo. Also the series derives heavily from Anime classics like Akira.

Science fiction should be based on, well science, with technical accuracy as far as possible.

12 Monkeys and eXistenZ are about the only recent sci-fi movies I can remotely tolerate... There is also a movie called the Fantastic Planet, or le Planete Sauvage or something like that. French film, excellent sci-fi. Another great sci-fi film is The Thing. IF you like Star Wars, check out Enemy Mine. Great movie, what little tech is there is accurate, but it explores the social connections between Aliens and Humans. There are some serious sci-fi books out there.
-The nanotech chronicles
-the Rama series (wish they'd make a movie)
-A fall of Moondust
-The City and the Stars
-The Mars trilogy

This is however only for people looking for science as a bridge connecting man and the universe. This is for people who are in awe of science, of the cosmos and mathematics, as much as other people are in awe of God. There are really fun movies out there that are loosely sci-fi, or cover sci-fi like themes, and are simply great! Supercroc is one filthy example, or Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Can watch them over and over again.
