As many others, I'm assuming your really asking about design *of* SF movies.
I'd say: look at the work of Ron Cobb, and by those involved with the
production of the Anime (Japanese animation) ranging from old stuff like
Harlock to more recent and refined stuff like Appleseed and Ghost in the
Machine. And pretty much all the work of Hayao Miyazaki deserves attention,
especially the fantasy work.
As for designers *in* SF film, I can only think of The Architect in the
Matrix movies. Also, Dr. Richard Daystrom "designed" a new computer in Star
Trek (http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/The_Ultimate_Computer_(episode)) and
there's Noonien Soong, who "designed" Data in Star Trek TNG. There's Flynn,
who designed sundry programs in Tron. Zach Galligan played an architect in
Gremlins.
I'm sure there's more.
Cheers.
