INTRODUCTION
As I revealed in my post 1, I am going to analyze ten movies based on science in this post. The development of science is wondered, and it is beyond imagination. Science is important because it affects most aspects of everyday life, including food, energy, medicine, transportation, leisure activities, and more. Science enhances human life at every level, from personal comfort to global issues. Besides the ubiquitous technology that people continue to use, the everyday uses of scientific knowledge are many and varied. Science generates solutions for everyday life and helps us to answer the great mysteries of the universe. That is why I have chosen science as my theme. My collection includes 10 movies, Sunshine (2007), The Martin, The Invisible Man, Awakenings (1990), Twelve Monkeys, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Solar Crisis (1990), And The Band Played on (1990), Astronaut: The Last Push (2012), Stranded (2002), Sci-fi films are usually fictional, visionary, comic-strip and fantasy, and can be visualized by fantasy, fantasy systems, expert film production design, advanced technology gadgets (i.e., robots and spacecraft), scientific advancements or exciting specialties. Effects. Sci-fi films are full of heroes, distant planets, impossible quests, impenetrable systems, fantastic places, great dark and shadow villains, futuristic technology and gizmos, and unknown and unexplained forces. My collection also contains exactly this kind of movies. Hopefully, everyone, who visit my site will find more interesting things in my collection and it wouldn’t disappoint them.
Sunshine (2007)
Sunshine is a popularly known science fiction physiological thriller movie directed by Danny Boyle and written by Alex Garland. The story, which takes place in 2057, follows a group of astronauts with the dangerous task of reigniting the dying sun. In the not-too-distant future, the dying sun of the earth will spell the end for mankind. the sun is dying-fizzling from within by a real physics phenomenon known as a Q-Ball. In a last-ditch effort to save the planet, a group of eight men and women are leaving with a device that can refresh the star in space. However, an accident, a huge mistake and a tragic lighthouse from a long-lost spacecraft will throw the crew and its desperate mission into a tailspin.
This film was moderately well received by critics. However, the last scenes disappoint the audience, but it might be to appease teenage audience. Sunshine meets the dual need to become a classic sci-fi: dazzling scenes with clever action. The cast is comprised of wonderful international performers. They all have objective, logical and scientific approaches to their work. Yet, we soon learn that human emotion is formed in every decision. The science within the movie is surprisingly factual and reasonable, so that its validity is never be questioned. Sunshine embraces a claustrophobic sci-fi setting. Although the outer scenes of Icarus II contain vast images of the sun or Mercury, we spend most of our time aboard the ship, not a moment on Earth. Boyle’s control of his characters clears the audience. We feel a great deal of disconnection from the rest of humanity, as in the entire human race Icarus II. This is a frightening feeling, especially when the ship’s computer informs everyone that there are more crew members than there should be. we need to know that Sunshine does not end happily. How can that be? The name of the ship is not as hopeless as “Hercules”, and with their work, the crew holds the world on their shoulders.
Overall, Sunshine is a fascinating treat to the audience, who are mad about science fiction movies. The story and cinematography are effective. Even though some reels are unrealistic, in some point the director has brought up an awareness of how we tamper with nature.

The Martian
The Martian, by Ridley Scott, is a science fiction movie about an astronaut surviving on a ruined planet, is the story of a shipwreck that takes the form of a sci-fi adventure.” But while the outline offers no surprises, the details and tone feel fresh. The film is about a man, Matt Damon of Matt Damon, who sums up his ingenuity and courage to overcome an impossible situation, and then, after all, to overcome loneliness. The Martian is predictable and the most fascinating thing about the film is how it tilts into the forecast rather than fighting it. The climax of the film is its most counter-intuitive sequence, a music clip near the climax, which blocks the flow of rescue activity, showing astronauts interacting with their loved ones via satellite video on Mark’s old spacecraft. The first real Mars movie. This is the first movie to attempt to be realistic, and it is really about humans who are having trouble exploring Mars, as opposed to the various movies set on Mars, they are mainly MM ups or horror films. It does not engage in fantasy: no monsters, no magic, no Nazis. However, there are many technical mistakes. This is an unstoppable passion for science that drives me when I leave the screening, which is a combination of complex technology and philosophy with its AI. Prologue and films like this mark a new era of science fiction that respects its viewers and a romance never feels the need to mediate.
A lot of the science you’ll see in the film is accurate. It is a plus for this movie among the audience and fans. You will find it interesting movie.

THE INVISIBLE MAN
The invisible man is a 1933 American pre-code science fiction film directed by James Whale. Adapted from the novel by HG Wells of the same name, The Invisible Man is an American film debut by Claude Rains. It is my opinion that this is the best combination of director James Whale’s dark sense of humor in Universal Monster films, but it certainly isn’t his best film. It’s funny, and it has some significant effects for its time. I love the way this movie opens and it’s mysterious, a little creepy, and it grabs your attention. While researching a new drug, Dr Jack Griffin (Claude Rains) stumbles upon a potion and makes him invisible. When he reveals his new mentor (Henry Travers) and his fiancé (e (Gloria Stuart), it becomes clear that Poison’s side effect is insane. Jack goes on a violent rampage, and the police fight to hunt him down, unable to find their target, while his mentor and his former partner (William Harrigan) attempt to devise a plan to capture him.
Overall, The Invisible Man is a fun way to spend an hour and change. It’s not exactly scary, but the effects are impressive, it has several well-timed comedic set pieces, and the story is gripping. I wouldn’t call it my favorite Universal horror — that honor belongs to the Creature — but it’s solid, and it’s easy to see why the character has become such an icon.

2001: A Space Odyssey
2001: A Space Odyssey is a 1968 epic science fiction film produced and directed by Stanley Kubrick. The film is renowned for its scientifically accurate depiction of space flight, with special effects pioneering and vague images. Sound and dialogue are less frequently used than traditional cinema and narrative techniques. The film received dark critical reviews, until those who saw it as a hopeful re-evaluation of humanity’s beliefs. The film earned a cult following, becoming the second highest-grossing film in the United States in 1968 and nominated for four Academy Awards. The technique consisted of a separate landscape projector set at right angles to the camera and a half silver mirror placed at an angle to the front, reflecting the projected image back and forth with the camera lens. The lighting of the foreground subject had to be balanced with the image from the screen so that the part of the scenery image that fell on the foreground subject was too faint to show on the finished film.
The film won the Hugo Award for best dramatic presentation, as voted by science fiction fans and published science-fiction writers.

AWAKENINGS
Awakenings is an American drama film, released in 1990. This movie is about the story of a fictional character, Dr. Malcom Sayer, based on real life experience of author, who discovers beneficial effects of the drug L-Dopa. These patients, as Dr Sawyer later found out in the film, experienced catatonic conditions as a side effect of a virus, all of them at one stage of their lives – the encephalitis epidemic. To everyone’s surprise, a drug tested by Dr Sawyer worked like a charm and one of his patients miraculously “awakened” from his catatonic state, and soon Dr Sawyer raised funds for all his patients to use the same treatment. Unfortunately, this drug proved to be a temporary “wake up call” for these patients, and soon, they all returned to their former catatonic states. The end of the film was very brilliant in my opinion – it completed Dr Sawyer’s character development. From a frightened shy researcher at the beginning, he evolved into a man who was ready to take risks in his career and his personal life – asking nurse Eleanor Costello (Julie Gawner) to go out with him for a cup of coffee.
As the film unfolds, we are called upon to meditate on the difference and wonder of human personality.

Twelve Monkeys
Twelve monkeys, is an American science fiction film by Terry Gilliam, released in 1995. A deadly virus, released in 1996, destroys almost all humans; The survivors are forced to live underground. The film uses its future world as a home base and as the starting point for the central story set in the 1990s and 1996s and attempts to save the time traveler from a deadly plague. A group called the Army of the Twelve Monkeys is believed to have released the virus. The movie is not, however, a straightforward action thriller.
Much of the interest comes from the character of Cole. He is simple, confused, ill-informed, fatigued, and shot with treacherous feelings. Nothing is known – not in his future world, not in 1990, not in 1996. And there is another factor, one pointed to in the opening shot of the film and confirmed at the end: he may have already seen the end of the story.it is a thought-provoking movie to the audience.

And the Band Played on
This is a 1993 American television film directed by Roger Spottiswoode. It is the story of the first years of the AIDS epidemic in the United States and focuses on three key elements. Dr Dan Francis, an immunologist with experience in eradicating smallpox, has the Ebola virus and is working with the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to understand what causes the disease. They agree with the bureaucracy and the government that they don’t care. The gay community in San Francisco is divided on the nature of the disease, but what to do about it. Finally, the film deals with a rivalry between American virologist Dr Robert Gallo and his French counterpart Dr Luke Montagnier at the Pasteur Institute, which has led to controversial claims about who first identified AIDS Virus.
The film raises awareness of AIDS and hope for finding a cure for AIDS and it is the most welcome movie among the fans. The film foreshadows the development of science in the future.

SOLAR CRISIS
Solar Crisis is a Japanese American science fiction film, directed by Richard C. Sarafian, based on the novel Crisis 2050. It is 2050 and all living things on Earth are facing massive destruction from a mega solar system and will soon be ejected from the sun within forty-eight hours. Initially hoping to ignite the flames – thus missing the Earth and saving the planet from catastrophe, a human mission is launched to deliver an anti-matter bomb to the heart of the sun. Meanwhile, a wealthy businessman tries to sabotage this task; Risk the future of mankind for profit. To prevent the sun from destroying the Earth, Steve Kelso is working on an artificial intelligent bombing of the sun from spacecraft Helios. Arnold Teague, who believes the risk is exaggerated, is trying to sabotage the work so he can profit from panic. On Earth, Deak’s agents clash with Kelso’s father, Admiral “Skeet” Kelso and his son, Mike.
Why would scientists (or the military for that matter) consider providing an explosive device with artificial intelligence and personality; This was never explained. This concept works well in the context of a ridiculous joke. It has some interesting moments for the pilgrims of space operas as they run some common traditions, and sometimes have dazzling effects, but then, these characters rush in and act like they have no intention of being there. Apparently, they didn’t read the script. In fact, you get the impression that there shouldn’t have been a screenplay.

Astronaut: The Last Push
Astronaut is an American science fiction film directed by Eric Hayden. Astronauts Nathan Miller and Michael Forrest are in the space shuttle Life One developed by Moffitt Industries. They must remain idle for 6 years until they reach Europa, take a route around Venus, and slingshot around the Earth to gain the speed to reach Europa. In the first phase of their journey, the ship is disrupted, and Michael Forrest wakes up. Michael escapes and contacts Mission Control. Mission Control and Michael are in regular contact, Michael makes regular status reports about himself, and Mission Control provides the incentive and assistance to repair the ship. During one of the mechanical tests, the vessel malfunctioned. Michael is desperately trying to regain power. He successfully ignited the engines and is two years away from the earth. Upon arrival to Earth, he must review the engines to slow down the ship for re-entry but chooses not to do so. The film addresses the earth with him.
His face speaks expression. You can see life coming out of him and the madness takes its place. He handles everything so realistically that you can’t help but root for him. The way he plays the character is not the character of a strong fancy man, but of a perfectly believable man who is trapped in an incredible situation. He does everything he can to avoid any of us going off like a time bomb. When he finally loses it, it is a kind of relief for the viewer and for him.
