Interstellar
On the brink of extinction due to a crop blight and a second Dust Bowl, humans try to come up with solutions to save mankind.

Martian
When a group of astronauts leave their teammate Mark Watney (Matt Damon) behind on Mars after a wild storm, Watney relies on sheer sense to figure out how he could survive on Mars while global scientists strive together on a mission to rescue him. With new, unexpected ways, Watney’s strong determination to survive not only demonstrates the possibility of conquering a new planet for humanity but also emphasizes the natural will possessed by all humans to live while also conveying the message that nothing is impossible as long as you believe so. Since this is a movie taking place on another planet, it is highly recommended to those interested in space missions.
Snowpiercer
Could there be humanity on a planet struck with extreme weather conditions after an ice age? Directed by Bong Joon-ho, the movie “Snowpiercer” depicts the lives of survivors on a train that protects them from ice and snow. Within the train, residents of the lowest rank direct a movement by reaching the engine room to claim power. Not only does the movie capture the post-apocalyptic conditions on Earth, but it also conveys a message regarding the cruel nature of the division of social groups and the idea that some must sacrifice themselves to ensure the happiness and safety of others. Due to scenes involving brutal and violent scenes, “Snowpiercer” is especially recommended to action movie fans.
Don’t Look Up
When two astronomers discover an approaching comet that will hit and destroy Earth, they attempt to warn the world of an upcoming human extinction. Even though a majority of the global population laughs at their warning at first, the two astronomers become more and more successful in convincing individuals to recognize the urgency of the current situation. In addition to a well-written plot relevant to modern society and politics, the famous cast and a soundtrack recorded by Ariana Grande makes the movie extra entertaining and worth a watch.
Inception

In the treacherous world of espionage, Cobb becomes an international target, but when he is offered a mission to plant an idea in someone’s brain, he believes this is an opportunity to redeem himself. Not only does the complicated and unexpected plot and the captivating soundtrack keep the audience entertained throughout the movie, but the character’s ability to enter a person’s subconscious state of mind introduces a potential revolutionary brain technology and concept to the public. If you particularly enjoy movies with ambiguous endings, this movie is a perfect match for you.
