It's a slightly click-baity title, but as we're still generating more content for our magazines, this one included, why not?

My Sci-fi unpopular opinion is that 2001: A Space Odyssey is nothing but pretentious, LSD fueled nonsense.
I could not get into the expanse at all.
My unpopular opinion is that I don't like space operas.

What's yours?

Frank Herbert had no clue what to write after Dune and the rest of the Dune series is just an exercise in trying to one-up himself in weirdness.

Star Wars is a fantasy series, not sci-fi.

Id agree about Dune. The first book is great. The rest feel like they were handed off to someone else to write.

Well, after the first four they were handed off to someone else to write: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Herbert#Posthumously_published_works
