OTT platforms have evolved into our gateways for exploring distant galaxies in the huge digital world. You’re in for a treat if you love space or are just curious about the mysteries of the universe!
Each movie gives a distinctive viewpoint on space travel, from brilliant directors to outstanding casts. The best thing, though? You may see any of these cinematic marvels right now on your preferred OTT services.
1. Interstellar
Future farmer and ex-NASA pilot Joseph Cooper is charged with leading a team of researchers in a spacecraft to discover a new planet for humans to inhabit after Earth becomes untenable.
Future calamities, famines, and droughts have plagued Earth. Interstellar travel is the sole means of ensuring the existence of humanity. A group of astronauts can go to a planet that has never been explored by humans before thanks to a recently found wormhole in the outer limits of our solar system. This planet might have the proper conditions for supporting human life.
The movie Interstellar is unlike any other. It says that technology will save mankind, in contrast to many apocalyptic sci-fi movies that portray modern technology as the cause of our extinction (a la The Terminator movies).
In Interstellar, not everyone understands the possibilities of cutting-edge technology. Most people disregard it as a waste of time and resources, and this is not simply the opinion of elderly cynics. This sentiment is shared by thoughtful, bright young individuals. Following a global scourge that wiped off the bulk of earth’s life—including humans and crops—this notion gained traction.
The movie “Interstellar” thrusts viewers into a futuristic Earth that is about to collapse. In this picture, which was directed by the well-known Christopher Nolan, a crew of astronauts, commanded by Matthew McConaughey, travel through a wormhole in quest of a new habitable planet. This epic story will have you on the edge of your seat with its mind-blowing sights and emotional depth.
2. Gravity
After an accident leaves two astronauts trapped in space, they band together to survive.
Brilliant medical engineer Dr. Ryan Stone (Sandra Bullock) is piloting her maiden shuttle mission, while veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (George Clooney) is in charge of his final mission before retiring. However, tragedy occurs during a seemingly routine spacewalk. When the shuttle is destroyed, Stone and Kowalsky are left all by themselves, bound only to one another and soaring into the void. This breathtakingly magnificent film explores concepts of survival and resiliency while submerging viewers in the immense nothingness of space.
This film features stunning images. The plot is entertaining, and it makes you appreciate your position on Earth. Additionally, the characters make for some belly laughs.
One of the better’space’ films. As a nerd, though, I see that the orbits are completely off for some of the events to even remotely occur (I know, I know, it’s just a movie). So, as per usual, suspend your skepticism for the time being if you have any knowledge of space travel. It offers some useful lessons regarding linear and angular momentum and at least mostly adhered to the no noises in space rule.
The film should serve as an excellent reminder of how unique this little rock is and how impermissible the rest of the cosmos is.
3. The Martian
After his crew mistakenly believes he is dead, an astronaut is left stranded on Mars and must use his resourcefulness to figure out how to contact Earth and let them know he is alive and capable of surviving until a possible rescue. Astronaut Mark Watney is left behind by his crew during a manned trip to Mars after being assumed dead following a violent storm. However, Watney has survived and is now alone and by himself on the dangerous planet. With scant resources, he must rely on his inventiveness, wit, and spirit to survive and figure out how to let Earth know that he is still alive. NASA and a group of worldwide experts work feverishly to return “the Martian” home from millions of miles away, as his crewmates simultaneously plan a risky, if not impossible, rescue mission. The world rallies behind Watney’s safe return as these tales of extraordinary bravery are told.
Matt Damon plays an astronaut who is stranded on Mars and struggling to survive while using scant supplies in Ridley Scott’s “The Martian.” The movie is a fascinating and occasionally amusing space adventure thanks to Damon’s charismatic performance and the scientific realism of the story.
In the not too distant future, the crew of the Hermes, which consists of Commander Melissa Lewis (Jessica Chastain), botanist Mark Watney (Matt Damon), IT expert Beth Johanssen (Kate Mara), pilot Rick Martinez (Michael Pea), flight surgeon Chris Beck (Sebastian Stan), and navigator and chemist Alex Vogel (Aksel Hennie), are gathering samples before returning to their living space, the HAB.
4. Apollo 11 (1996)
NASA was under tremendous pressure to advance the Apollo Program as rapidly as possible because of its fear that the Russians would maintain their lead in the space race and be the first to land a man on the moon, even though they were aware that doing so may have disastrous consequences. The tensions experienced by the three astronauts, Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins, as well as by their families and the teams of technicians preparing for any potential problems are reenacted in this movie.
The use of both authentic material and historical music makes for a very well-done movie. It does a good job of capturing the interactions between the entire crew, including the astronauts, ground crew, and family.
As astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins set off on their historic 1969 journey to the moon, never-before-seen images and audio recordings expose the inner workings of NASA’s most acclaimed mission.
5. Mission Mangal(2019)
Based on actual events, the Mars Orbiter trip (Mangalyaan) was successfully launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), making it the most affordable trip to Mars.
With numerous classic ways to incorporate humour and drama into the proceedings of a highly technical subject like an organization’s endeavor to launch a satellite on the Martian orbit, Mission Mangal (Mars Mission) has an overarching air of artificiality. It turns out to be a string of embarrassing scenes. We witness the characters having fun wherever they go and in workplace settings, which is a departure for a movie that requires reality as the only important component.
Although R. Balki’s suggestion to use home science to address problems preventing space flight is a valid one, the way these difficulties were presented leaves the discriminating spectator feeling angry and disgusted.
“Mission Mangal” takes us to India’s Mars Orbiter Mission (Mangalyaan), which is a fantastic factual narrative. The movie follows a group of bright scientists as they work tirelessly to launch a spaceship to Mars, demonstrating their willpower, resourcefulness, and spirit of triumphing against all difficulties. The scientists are performed by the ensemble cast.
