It might seem unfair to add a romantic film on to the list. Still, the reason why ‘Her’ feels incredibly powerful is because of the world it manages to create and how not-so-distant it seems with all its technological advancements and the evolution of human lives. With the kind of rapid speed the world is moving at in terms of technological develop...
Robert Wise’s sci-fi classic has somewhere got buried under the pile of seen but forgotten flicks. A satellite crashes near a small town, killing most people and what’s worse is that there also seems to be a possibility of an alien virus that would wreck the town and its inhabitants. Andromeda, a microscopic life form, kills almost any living creat...
I couldn’t possibly comprehend the reasons why this film flopped so badly at the box office. It’s such an incredibly well made, inventive piece of pure sci-fi cinema. The world building here is simply astounding. Andrew Niccol’s vision of a future society where children are conceived through genetic manipulation so that they gain the best hereditar...
Steven Spielberg fails to entertain even when he is at his weakest. ‘Minority Report’ is certainly not among his greatest works but it is one of the most fascinating sci-films ever made. Perhaps when it came back in 2002, the film’s premise might have come off as a little too much for viewers to stomach but nothing in the film, especially when see ...
On a cinematic level, I wasn’t quite impressed with ‘The Martian’. Sure, it’s a well-made film, but what more? That’s exactly the problem. It just doesn’t go beyond being an enjoyable popcorn space flick. However, it does deserve a lot of credit for its startling scientific accuracy. The source material itself was noted for getting all the science ...
‘Deep Impact’ follows a plot where a comet is set to collide with the earth and threatens to wreck humanity. A plot as interesting as this could have been built up with more atmospheric tension, which is where the film utterly failed. But nevertheless it does something right with its science. In fact what’s more interesting was that the film was hi...
Another interesting sci-fi flick that really deserves more love. While certainly not among Robert Zemeckis’ best works, the one thing that really stands out about ‘Contact’ is its scientific accuracy. The film tells the story of a scientist who finds evidence of alien life on earth. The way the dialogues are written using complex scientific termino...
For some reason ‘Moon’ still remains a vastly underrated film. It is, without a doubt, one of the most scientifically accurate science fiction films ever made. The film is about a man who is on a three year contract working at a lunar station with his computer GERTY. The biggest scientific challenge for the film was with regards to the helium-3 min...
What a lovely film that was! Ron Howard’s unforgettable space adventure drama was about a trio of astronauts who embarked on a mission to the moon. However, a fatal technical glitch causes trouble and they are forced to abandon their mission and return home. Why the film still works so brilliantly because there is an astute focus on the scientific ...
The one thing about Christopher Nolan that could be compared to the great Stanley Kubrick is this quest for cinematic perfection. Sure there’s a lot of pandering to fans in Nolan’s films but he is extremely serious about getting the technical aspects of his films beyond perfection. Apart from its emotionally charged storyline, the science in ‘Inter...
