These 10 most thrilling space movies.

Moon (2009)

Duncan Jones’ debut Space Movie is a slow burner that takes a while to get going. The film follows astronaut Sam (Sam Rockwell), who is left alone to run a space station on the moon, as he gets caught up in everyday life. Sam’s only companion is a smiling artificial intelligence that helps with daily tasks. Sam has an accident at the end of his three-year contract that gives him double vision, sending him into a downward spiral of self-loathing over the tragedy of his life.

Sunshine (2007)

Under the direction of a more professional filmmaker, the story of Sunshine would have evolved into a very gimmicky space movie. Thankfully, Danny Boyle directed the film, Alex Garland (X Machina) wrote the screenplay and Rose Byrne, Chris Evans and Cillian Murphy round out the incredibly talented cast. The film’s premise sounds a bit implausible on paper, but Boyle handles it like an apocalyptic novel and handles it with a genuine, mature sensibility, giving it an open, caring tone.

Armageddon(1998)

Michael Bay, the master of explosions, gave us a great no-brain, all-bran blockbuster with Armageddon. The plot of the film is so improbable that it becomes unintentionally funny. The US government enlists the help of an oil driller to drill a hole in a giant asteroid approaching Earth and deliver a bomb to it. Although the script reads something out of a kindergarten playbook, Michael Bay’s slick direction and Bruce Willis’ boisterous antics make the Space Movies an exciting watch.

Interstellar (2014)

Currently, a degree in hard science is required to fully appreciate the profundity of Christopher Nolan’s picture. Nolan’s videos provide a fun and engaging introduction to science and technology using accurate facts and cutting-edge concepts. Beyond the technical terms, the dynamics and imagery of the storytelling in Interstellar really make the Space Movies worth consuming. Nolan’s high-tech ideas come to life on screen thanks to compelling narration, authentic acting and exciting visual effects.

Gravity (2013)

There are directors comparable to Christopher Nolan and Alfonso Cuarón. There seems to be a convergence between technology and the human interaction with it as both like to mix human emotions with futuristic, weighty backgrounds.

In this intimate film Gravity, the majesty of space is masterfully captured while also underlining how little we are. Best Cinematography, Best Director and Best Film Editing are just a few of the seven Academy Awards that Cuarón’s film, which features some very touching moments from Sandra Bullock and some amazing visual effects, won.

Arrival (2016)

Arrival presents an exciting scenario in which an extraterrestrial spaceship arrives on Earth and countries race to contact it, although the story does not take place in space. Denis Villeneuve’s picture, brilliantly led by Amy Adams, chillingly reimagines what real contact with extraterrestrials might be like.

The Martian (2015)

The general concept of Ridley Scott’s film, which shows perseverance in the face of overwhelming odds, is similar to Cuarón’s Gravity. Mars is a more humane and humorous attempt to make sense of the unknown, while Gravity is a long-overdue immersive picture that captures the grandeur and emptiness of space. This is where the tone of both the films diverges.

Avatar (2009)

Compared to its more modern contemporaries, Avatar is an entirely different kind of space film. James Cameron first saw the whole world, rich in culture and diaspora, and then he added humanity. Avatar, touted as the best film ever, is a combination of drama and social commentary against greed and capitalism. The film used never-before-seen VFX technology, paving the way for VFX-heavy films in the years to come.

Solaris (1972)

Andrei Tarkovsky’s films resemble atmosphere rather than entertainment. The legendary Russian filmmaker is well known for his immersive films that prioritize setting and atmosphere over story development. Nevertheless, Tarkovsky deliberately used depth and duration to acclimate the audience to Solaris and help relieve tension before immersing them in an unforgettable, exhilarating experience.

Alien (1979)

One movie that the average person can appreciate about the challenges associated with space travel is Alien, which shows viewers what lies beyond our atmosphere. Apart from touching on the issues of life’s fragility and unknown perils, Ridley Scott’s terrifying story of life beyond Earth is visually appealing.
