Avatar (2009)
Avatar
Director: James Cameron
Writers: James Cameron
Starring: Sam Worthington
Douban score: 8.8
Jack Sally (Sam Worthington), a former naval warrior wounded and paralyzed during the battle, decides to come to Pandora's star on behalf of his dead siblings to manipulate Dr. Grace (Sigourney Weaver) with human genes combined with the genes of the local Na'vi tribe to create an "Avatar" hybrid.
Jack's goal was to infiltrate the Nami tribe and diplomatically persuade them to voluntarily leave their homes where they had lived for generations, so that SecFor could cut down the area's virgin forests and mine the expensive "unobtainable" mines underground.
While exploring Pandora's star, Jack meets Natiri (Zoe Saldana), a princess of the Nami tribe, and learns her Na'vi's survival skills and attitude towards nature. Meanwhile, SecFor's manager and military representative Colonel Miles (Stephen Lang) gradually loses patience and decides to resort to force to drive out the Na'vi...

In the film Avatar, the creative team created a planetary world of Pandora that was explored 100 years later, with its own ecological balance system and the blue-skinned Native Navi people who are 3 meters tall.
They have their own rules of existence and beliefs, but when humans continue to invade their living environment and beliefs, the "space" war between humans and the Nawe people is on the verge of breaking out.
2001: A Space Odyssey (1968)
A Space Odyssey
Directed By: Stanley Kubrick
Writers: Arthur Clark / Stanley Kubrick
Starring: Kyle Dula / Gary Lockwood
Now in 2001, in search of the roots of Blackstone, humans are embarking on a jupiter landing program.
The ship features three hibernating astronauts, Captain David (Kyle Dura Keir Dullea), Pilot Frank (Gary Lockwood) and a highly intelligent computer called hal9000. HAL went haywire during the spaceflight, killing Frank and three hibernating personnel, leaving Boman to fight the computer.
David, who returned from the death line, turned off the main brain system in one breath, and the HAL completely failed. Now, David is the only one left in the vast universe, heading for Jupiter. Through the magnificent stargate, David seems to go to a strange time and space, where there is an endless cycle of life and death of human beings and the ultimate knowledge of the universe...
The film is a huge production full of philosophical propositions that Kubrick spent four years making. A large black stone stands in front of prehistoric humans, who have just begun to recognize tools and have entered the milestone of evolution. The same black stones still appear in many parts of the universe, they stand on the moon, floating in space, with some mysterious meaning.
It's hard to imagine that this is a 1968 film, which, in the present, also has a forward-looking visual design and a real and futuristic and unknown "interstellar journey".

Starring: Matthew McConaughey / Anne Hathaway
Douban score: 9.3
In the near future, the earth is full of yellow sand, wheat, okra and other basic crops have been extinct due to blight, and human beings no longer look up at the stars as before, indulging in the burst of imagination and inspiration, but counting down the few remaining conditions under the ravages of sandstorms every day.
Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a former NASA astronaut who works as a farmer in the family, discovers a strange gravitational field phenomenon in the study of his daughter Murphy (Mackenzie Foy) and learns that former NASA members are still secretly working on a plan to save humanity in an unknown area.
Years ago, mysterious wormholes appeared near Saturn, and NASA took the opportunity to send several astronauts to distant galaxies in search of habitable planets.
Persuaded by Professor Brand (Michael Caine), Cooper bids farewell to his daughter bitterly.
And three other expert professors, their daughters, Emilia Brand (Anne Hathaway), Romilly (David Gyasi), and Doyle (Wes Bentley), travel in a spaceship to the three most promising planets known.
They traveled through the distant galaxy Milky Way, felt the vicissitudes of one hour and seven years, and glimpsed the magnificence and mystery of unknown planets and black holes. In the desperate and lonely corners of the vast universe, there is always a determined feeling that transcends time and space to closely connect them...
The plight of starvation, the parables of the last days. Salvation missions, space voyages. Time steals, inception space. Father-daughter blood bonds, the infinite boundaries of love, and the self-redemption of the family.
The future hidden in the fog, the overwhelming despair, the glimmer of dawn in the cracks, the death of the world, the equations on which to reverse, the continuation, the restart, the malice, the conspiracy. The film transcends the characteristics of the space science fiction genre and has a lot of philosophical thinking value.

Star Trek (2009)
Star Trek
Directed By: J· J. Abrams
Writers: Roberto Och / Alex Kurzman
Starring: Chris Pine / Zachary Quintu
Douban score: 8.1
In the late 23rd century, around 7412.6 of the astrological period, a powerful alien force—in the form of a massive cloud of energy—was detected in the Klingon realm and believed to be heading for Earth. On the way, the cloud destroyed the Klingon starship encountered and a Starfleet monitoring station.
Starfleet decided to send the prototype starship, the Enterprise, to block the "object" and demanded that its lengthy modification and upgrade process be completed as soon as possible and tested in transit.
As a member of the program, Brigadier General James Kirk seized his former command of the ship, angering the ship's commander, Willard Decker, who was overseeing the entire refit as the new captain.
After most of the original crew had boarded the ship, the Enterprise sailed out and began its voyage; however, testing of the new system did not proceed well, which led to a boost in the opposition between Kirk and Decker.
Many of the problems were resolved after the scientific officer, Lieutenant Colonel Spock, joined the ship, before he performed a kolinahr ceremony on his home planet Vulcan.
The charm of science fiction lies in the fact that the process of human civilization is constantly constructed, and when wisdom encounters barriers, it is still the impulse of human nature that guides civilization out of the predicament.
Spock's escape from the cage of logic is a follow-up to instinct. The Enterprise will prophesy into the universe in warp flight, an interstellar expedition far from over. Perhaps the small itself is infinitely close to the grand, "endlessly alive and prosperous." ”
The Martian (2015)
The Martian
Director: Ridley Scott
Writers: Drew Goddard / Andy Will

Douban score: 8.5
The manned spacecraft Ares 3 successfully arrived on Mars, who knew that an extremely destructive storm hit the astronauts, and Ares 3 was forced to interrupt the mission and return urgently.

He hid in the space base on Mars to heal his wounds. The next Mars mission will be four years from now, and the base will only have enough supplies to sustain him for 31 days. After a brief period of despair, Mark decides to use his limited food to grow crops on this empty planet in search of a glimmer of life.
At the same time, the Earth side soon discovers that Mark is alive, and they try their best to deploy a rescue plan. Can Mark, who is alone, wait for the rescue team to arrive?
Adapted from Andy Will's science fiction novel of the same name, this film relies on the humorous style of comedy to show the orthodox hard science fiction road, compared with other space movies, the protagonist's "lone fight" is very charming and impressive.

Douban score: 7.9
In the deep and vast outer space, the blue earth contrasts sharply with the bottomless, pitch-black universe. A space station belonging to the United States, several astronauts are conducting spacewalks, doing routine inspections of their satellites.

This was Koławski's last flight before his retirement, and he humorously enlivened the atmosphere of the team. At this moment, the shocking news came from Houston headquarters that soon the abandoned Russian satellite was destroyed by missiles, and the fragments scattered in the Earth's orbit at a speed faster than the bullets, and accidentally hit other satellites, causing a chain reaction to create new fragments.
Ryan and her party were severely damaged by debris, some of their companions were unfortunately killed, and she and Koławski fell out of control and fell into the depths of the universe. The surviving two had to trust each other and do their best to move towards their homeland...
The unparalleled long shot is fully immersive, and the technology and theme are perfectly blended, delving into the ultimate loneliness of human beings in the universe. All the senses of the film are extremely real, from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside to mobilize your original instincts, several times by the tension and pressure forced out of the tears!
