Science Fiction Films That Might Be True

One may believe that seeing a fantastic science fiction film allows one to transcend reality and see the cosmos through the magical lens of cinema. However, what if some of those incredible science fiction films you enjoy were actually more genuine than you realize?

These five timeless science fiction movies have the potential to become "Science Facts" in the future

Contact (1997)

What is the topic?

Jodie Foster's character, Dr. Eleanor "Ellie" Arroway, has spent her entire life listening to the stars in an attempt to find something or someone. When at last a coded signal from space is picked up, everyone rushes to decipher the message and establish contact. based on Carl Sagan's novel from 1985.

How is it possible for it to be true?

 There are two possible outcomes, according to Arthur C. Clarke: either we are alone in the universe or we are not. They are both equally terrifying. Contact investigates the idea that we might not be alone. In the Jodie Foster/Matthew McConaughey film, some possible human behaviors are depicted in the context of humanity's ongoing hunt for life in our cosmic backyard. From political turmoil to discovering God.

Contact might just give us a glimpse of what might happen if E.T. chooses to phone Earth rather than its home planet.

Gravity (2013)

What is the topic?

On her maiden shuttle voyage to Earth's orbit, Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is accompanied by seasoned astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney). Following calamity, Stone and Kowalski find themselves drifting through space by themselves and bound to nothing.

How is it possible for it to be true?

There are more than 8,200 satellites in orbit above the globe as of January 2022. Naturally, the most of these are unmanned, but for decades, people have been traveling the world in tin cans. It is a perilous endeavor to travel into space, let alone orbit, but regrettably mishaps do occur. Regretfully, a number of astronauts have perished in the past.

Gravity demonstrates what is possible and likely to occur, with a dash of vintage Hollywood thrown in for good measure.

Watch Gravity on Stan, Paramount+, or the Fetch Movie Store.

Gattaca (1997)

What is the topic?

This sci-fi thriller tracks Ethan Hawke's character Vincent Freeman as he pursues space travel. Vincent pulled the short straw in a civilization where a person's genetic makeup determines their social standing. In order to fulfill his ambition of traveling to space, he takes on the persona of paraplegic Jerome Morrow (Jude Law), who possesses the genetic makeup necessary to pass the astronaut tests. Vincent's true identity is under scrutiny after one of the space program directors is killed.

How is it possible for it to be true?

In today's world, reading about genetics is already commonplace. By looking through a microscope, one may already assess the probabilities of diseases. Is it possible that in the future we may face discrimination based on more than just our appearance?

This and a ton of other questions are posed in Gattaca. A timeless classic that is remarkably underappreciated.

The Martian (2015)
