Space is flipping terrifying ,it could snuff us all at any moment if it wanted to .we’ve
seen movies set in space to show the fortitude of humanity ,rescue matt damon only to get
screwed over and make money(armageddon picture),lovely wonderful cash(soundbite of dollar clinking
with a pic of briefcase full of cash).Interstellar on the other hand strives to be more than
just spacefaring adventure and reaches beyond the stars into a wormhole ,its madness.with
that in mind here 10 sci fi thrillers like interstellar you need to watch.
1.2001 a space odessey : The influence of 2001 on subsequent filmmakers has been considerably
large.The film follows a voyage to Jupiter with the sentient computer HAL after the discovery
of a mysterious black monolith affecting human evolution.
It deals with the themes of existentialism, human evolution, technology, artificial intelligence,
and extraterrestrial life.It has been analyzed and interpreted by professional critics and
theorists, amateur writers and science fiction fans, virtually all of whom have mentioned
its deliberate ambiguity.its so annoying.
2.sunshine : Its hard to know what to make of sunshine,in its glorious space voyage it
follows the crew of a spacecraft on a dangerous mission to the Sun to reignite the star with
a nuclear bomb that has a mass equivalent to Manhattan Island.
Sunshine explores physics, science and religion.It takes a massive nosedive towards the end which
kinda divided the audience.some calling it underrated ,others calling it a piece of ..
3.moon : Moon is a science fiction thriller that has some revelations that make you scratch
your head.The film follows Sam Bell ,a man who experiences a personal crisis as he nears
the end of a three-year solitary stint mining helium-3 on the far side of the Moon.it tackles
themes such as what it means to be human and he gap between science fiction and science
fact.It also showed a promising debut from duncan jones until he done *cough **cough*
warcraft
4.apollo 13 : (houston we have a problem clip) if you haven’t heard that catchphrase around
you probably don’t watch movies that much.Ron howard and the cast do a terrific job of bringing
the story of a mission beset by troubles to life.this edge of the thriller is riveting
despite the audience knowing the outcome.much like finding nemo with the help of dumb dory
(ken burns of dory) in finding nemo .apollo 13 has since been reverred as arguably one
of the best dramatic space movies ever made.
5.the martian : This comedy ,that's right hollywood foreign press deemed this survival
tale as a comedmedy.to be fair it was way funnier than the financial crisis depicted
in the big short.Matt damon plays an astronaut who must attempt to survive on mars after
their crew abandon him thinking he’s dead after brutal storm.Its lauded for accuracy
of science portrayed behind the space travel .he uses ingenuity and comedy to tackle the
task of signalling home in hopes of being rescued.
6.prometheus :Fans of the original alien movies were excited af (excited af on screen text
) when they heard ridley was at the helm again making a prequel .it follows a team on spaceship
bound to distant planet seeking the origins of humanity,only to find out that SPOILER
ALERT ,they’re not alone and are surrounded by killfaces from frisky dingo (clip of frisky
dingo ) look it up .wanting to kill them which is fair enough considering how dumb the scientists
are (clip of hammerpede scene)
7.the fifth element : This sci fi action flick revolves around the survival of planet earth
and how bruce willis single handedly stops an impending attack with the help of scantily
clad milla jovovich.it's a gleefully over the top popcorn film that never takes itself
too seriously.a vegemite type movie no doubt.you either love it or you hate it (pic of someone
throwing up).
8.the right stuff : The right stuff is an american epic historical drama exploring the
navy,marine and air force pilots who were involved in a research for project mercury.the
movie bombed at the box office despite getting rave reviews maybe it didn’t have all the
“right stuff “.it might sound crazy that i recommend you to spend your hard stolen
earnings on a film no one saw .i mean it won four oscars ,that's something
9.serenity :if you haven’t seen joss whedon’s space western drama do yourself a solid and
watch it ,its been on netflix hanging around like an empty airbnb.It follows the adventures
of a renegade ragtag group of people aboard the ship firefly.with whedon’s trademark
humor and snappy dialogue this space western opera continues the unfinished story of the
tv .It pleased nerds and offered resolution to the abbreviated series,becoming a cult
classic ever since .
10.cagatta : gattaca is one of the only 90’s scifi film which was more plot driven than
action.In a future where babies are genetically altered to fit a criteria .Ethan hawke plays
a invalid who’s forbidden to join the gattaca corp.which doesn’t stop him geting there
... obviously.It's one of those cult classic films
that flopped at the box office and made it big on the internet .all those producers who
lost money just to keep you entertained .
And that's our list ,do you reckon we missed out any space movies like interstellar?
Maybe we just didn’t have enough ..SPACE .yeahhhh.
