Sci-fi's my favourite genre out of everything, but I almost never give 10s.
I've only ever given three films 10/10; all of them are sci-fi, but only one was in the last 10 years - Dune: Part One. The other two are Gattaca and 28 Days Later.
For TV shows it's similar - there are only three I've given 10/10 to, only one of those was in the last decade and it wasn't sci-fi.
I've given more novels max ratings, but they were all written decades ago (four by Jack Vance, three by Asimov, one by Joe Haldeman, and one by John Scalzi).
I haven't given any video games 10/10.
