Science fiction (also called SCi-fi or SF) is a genre which deals with the imaginative concepts of Science which are derived from any hypothesis (speculations), proved ones or which can be futuristic. In a word, it deals with the concepts of ‘Advanced Sciences’. Making movies where the story line is based on the Advanced Sciences or using the theories/concepts of it are called Sci-fi movies. Some of the concepts include Time-travel, Space travel, Extra-terrestrial life, Working on new Species etc.,
Every person feels excited if they hear any movie when it is an action packed one or any suspense-thriller. Most of the Sci-fi movies are action packed or suspense-thriller or both. Watching those movies increases the scope of knowledge of the student and imagination skills. He/She may get inspired from what they watch. For example, “Star Wars” is a movie which is entirely based on Space travel and wars in Space. Try to watch at least 4 out of 10 Sci-fi movies to increase the awareness on the Advanced Science. To help you guys, I got some of the best Sci-fi movies from which you may get inspired:
INTERSTELLAR
from Hollywood Reporter
Interstellar is one of the best Sci-fi movie which got the most stupendous reviews from the audience. This movie focuses on the search for an extraterrestrial habitable planet. The lead actors travel to space in a Space Shuttle when they got to know about a worm hole (which acts like a tunnel to other points in Space) and enter into that to search for an another habitable planet in the Space. Besides that, they face many problems when they try to escape a planet, they even encounter a black hole consuming a star, Time Dilation, Entering into different Dimension world, Time Paradox etc., A must watch Movie for students or anyone above 15 years of age. They will get to learn about many Science theories and Advanced Physics and fascinating concepts of it.
THE ANDROMEDA STRAIN(1971)
The Andromeda Strain is a Sci-fi movie where a team from an air force are sent to check for a military satellite which has returned to Earth. The team reveals that everyone in Piedmont, Arizona, the town closest to where the satellite landed is dead. The duty officer of the base suspects that it returned with an extraterrestrial contaminant. Later, the officials get to know that the satellite returned with a deadly virus which has killed thousands of people in that place. The rest of the story is what you got see which involves thrilling sequences like how few survive it, how they escape from it, how they control that contagion.
A recommended movie which gives you a higher insight on how contagion would be, how people get to overcome are the takeaways. There are similar sci-fi movies to this which are “Contagion”, “Viral” etc.,
GRAVITY
Gravity is a phenomenal Sci-fi movie which has heavily impressed the audience throughout the world. This movie is about a crew trying to return back to Earth from the Space Shuttle after getting hit by a Space debris which happens because of a Russian Missile Strike. When Mission Control in Houston warns about a Russian missile strike on a defunct satellite,a chain reaction formed a rapidly-expanding cloud of space debris, ordering the crew to return to Earth immediately. Communication with Mission Control is lost shortly thereafter as more and more communication satellites are knocked out by the debris. How the people escape that situation and what actions they need perform to get out to reach Earth will be the story.
The person who watch this will get to know about Gravitational Physics, Astronauts , the work of Engineers etc., One may get too much fascinated about Space Sciences and may get higher insights on Space Sciences. This is a must watch movie especially for the students.
EX MACHINA
Ex Machina is a different movie from normal Sci-fi movies as almost every Sci-fi movie involves at least few action sequences but this movie is a Sci-fi thriller. The story line up is: a young talented programmer(Caleb) gets an offer from a guy(Nathan) who is running a company of making robots and he want to test them. He wanted to perform a turing test to a robot where it has to go multiple trials to think as a humans. To train that robot, Nathan uses the facial expressions data of many humans according to the situations, actions etc., He want to make a perfect model and want to produce more robots of that kind. He performs 5-6 Turing tests. But later, the Caleb gets to know that the Nathan’s intention was bad.
How Nathan knows about it, how the Robot(Ava) explains the bad intention of Nathan, what happens finally, is the story.
