Space, the vast expanse surrounding the Earth, has been the curiosity of many people throughout history, from the common street man to professional scientists. Over the years, humans took serious steps in order to explore beyond our blue planet.

Cinema, as usual, flirts with everything related to human interests, so I presented to viewers a number of films about space, whether about real stories of space trips that have already occurred, or imagined ones that show us what is beyond the imagination of some of us.

newcomer

The movie "Arrival", directed by Denis Villeneuve and starring Amy Adams and Jeremy Renner and produced in 2016, presented us with a fictional story about a space invasion of Earth, but unlike what happens in the stories of communication between arrivals and humans in the usual wars and conflicts, the director gave us this Time the other side.

The aliens of the new movie do not want to possess our planet and its resources, and eliminate terrestrial creatures, but rather communicate with them, and save them from an incoming danger, through Dr. Louis Banks, who was able to deduce a language that allows her to do so.

The film was distinguished by its different viewpoint towards aliens and the other in general, and was nominated for eight Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Photography, and won one award for Best Sound Editing.

gravity

Gravity, directed by Alfonso Cuarón, starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, and produced in 2013.

Its events take place in extraterrestrial space, where Dr. Ryan Stone makes her first space flight with the veteran astronaut Matt Kawski, but the trip is not going well, and the doctor is not only forced to face the danger of death alone in space, but also her old fears and her past that haunts her until And it's thousands of miles from home.

The film was shown for the first time at the Venice Film Festival, and it won the admiration of critics and viewers, due to the very distinctive photography and visual effects at the time of the film's production, and also won 10 Oscar nominations, of which it won 7: Best Director, Best Soundtrack, Best Photography, and Best Visual Effects.

first man

"First Man", directed by Damien Chazel, starring Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy, and produced in 2019.

The film introduces the story of astronaut Neil Armstrong, the first human to set foot on the moon's surface, but is not only interested in the technical details of the ascent process, but also with the true character of Neil, the only man in his family despite the trauma of losing his only daughter .

Focusing on the character from its various aspects, not just the heroic, was one of the strengths of the film, which won the admiration of critics, award committees, and 4 Oscar nominations, of which it won the award for best visual effects only.

Interstellar

"Interstellar" directed by Christopher Nolan, starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain and Michael Kane, and produced in 2014.

In this movie, space is not only the unknown that humans want to explore, but the only refuge in front of them in light of the dangers that threaten life on Earth, from violent dust waves, death to crops and air pollution, and therefore on a space mission led by Engineer Cooper to explore other planets on a journey to search for a suitable planet. For human life.

The film was one of the most important films in its year of production, and the most revenue-generating one, and it achieved great public and critical success, due to its twisted, difficult and full of changes in time, which sparked the public's imagination, and won an Oscar award for best visual effects among several nominations.

Martian

The Martian, directed by Sir Ridley Scott, starring Matt Damon and Jessica Chastain, and produced in 2015.

This movie introduces an interesting premise: What if you got into space but stayed there by yourself? And what are the mechanisms that the human being does in order to keep his life in a very dangerous environment that is not prepared to preserve human life?

The movie's hero, astronaut, engineer Mark Watney, is exposed to an accident, and his colleagues on the space flight are forced to leave him alone on Mars thinking that he has passed away.

The film is based on a novel that mixes action, science fiction and comedy, despite being primarily based on the performance of one actor at all times.

It was shown at the Toronto Film Festival and won the admiration of viewers and critics, $ 630 million at the global box office, and 7 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Text, and its hero Matt Damon won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, and an Oscar nomination as well.
