Treatment - Planning Our Opening Sequence Titles

From the research on font styles from similar titles of the same genre and nationality as our film (British Sci-fi), the general theme was that they used white, simple, bold or thin sans-serif fonts, featured on a black or dark background. They were all stationary however, and our group have decided that we want to have the titles integrated into the opening sequence. Here is a collection of possible font styles that are a similar match of the ones I have researched.

This font is quite nice and and clean. 
The simplistic thin lines look good but it's not very symmetrical or measured.

I think this font works well as it's thick enough to destroy without being unable to read, and is also measured (the thickness of the lettering is consistent and it's easy on the eye). 

This font complies with all the conventions of fonts used in sic-fi titles and it is a nice font, however there are problems. The letters 'L' and 'S' look a bit odd bit this can be fixed. The spacing between the lettering may also need to be fixed. 

This font isn't too bad and is reasonably thick but I don't like the way the letter 'M' is really pointed at the bottom. Otherwise the spacing and width is consistent and looks okay.

This font is really nice, and is not overly thin that you can't read it. The spacing of the lettering may need to be sorted out and also how consistent the width of the lettering is. This is a nice font and a strong contender if these things are sorted out. 

This font is my favourite of all of the ones I have found so far. However, lowercase letters appear above the line for some reason, which can arguably look nice but most likely won't. Also the thickness of some of the letters is inconsistent, but it it a nice font nonetheless.
