Sci fi

Science fiction is a genre of fiction with imaginative but more or less

plausible content such as settings in the future, futuristic science and

technology, space travel, parallel universes, aliens, and paranormal abilities.

Exploring the consequences of scientific innovations is one purpose of

science fiction, making it a “literature of ideas”. Science fiction has been

used by authors as a device to discuss philosophical ideas such as identity,

desire, morality and social structure.

Science fiction is largely based on writing rationally about alternative

possible worlds or futures. It is similar to, but differs from fantasy in

that, within the context of the story, its imaginary elements are largely

possible within scientifically.

The settings for science fiction are often contrary to consensus reality,

but most science fiction relies on a considerable degree of suspension of

disbelief, which is facilitated in the reader’s mind by potential scientific

explanations or solutions to various fictional elements.

Some of the movies that are produced with Sci fi are:

Hulk, Avenger, Transformers, Avatar, Thor, Spiderman and fantastic four.

Hulk

The Hulk is a fictional character, a superhero that appears in comic books

published by Marvel Comics. He is a gigantic, green, irradiated, mutated

humanoid monster with incredible strength, and an inability to control his

rage (resulting from a failed gamma radiation experiment for the U.S.

military). The Hulk is sometimes characterized as naive and childlike; at

other times, hyper-aggressive and brutal; and still others, cunning, brilliant,

and scheming. He is often portrayed as an antihero. The Hulk is cast as the

emotional, impulsive alter ego of Dr. Bruce Banner, a socially withdrawn and

emotionally reserved physicist. Banner first transforms into the Hulk

shortly after being accidentally exposed to the blast of a test detonation

of a gamma bomb he invented. Subsequently, Banner will involuntarily

transform into the Hulk whenever he gets too angry, or if his life is in

danger; the chaotic aftermath of the Hulk’s destructive episodes lead to

extreme complications in Banner’s life. Lee said that the Hulk’s creation

was inspired by a combination of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Frankenstein.

Although the Hulk’s coloration has varied throughout the character’s

publication history, the most consistent shade is green. As the Hulk, Banner

is capable of significant feats of strength, the magnitude of which increase

in direct proportion to the character’s anger. As the character himself

puts it, “The madder Hulk gets the stronger Hulk gets!” Strong emotions

such as anger, terror and grief are also triggers for forcing Banner’s

transformation into the Hulk. As a child, Banner’s father Brian Banner

often got mad and physically abused his mother, creating the psychological

complex of fear, anger, and the fear of anger and the destruction it can

cause that underlies the character. A common storyline is the pursuit of

both Banner and the Hulk by the U.S. armed forces, because of all the

destruction that he causes. He has two main catchphrases: “Hulk is

strongest there is!” and the better-known “HULK SMASH!” which has

founded the basis for a number of pop culture memes.

The film’s development began when Marvel Studios received a loan from

2008, Marvel announced that The Avengers would be released in July 2011.

The Avengers premiered on April 11, 2012, at Hollywood’s El Capitan

Theatre and was released theatrically in the United States on May 4, 2012.

The film received positive reviews from most film critics and set or tied

numerous box office records, including the biggest opening weekend in

North America and the fastest film to gross $1 billion. The Avengers

grossed $1.51 billion worldwide, and became the third highest-grossing film

25, 2012. A sequel to be written and directed by Whedon is scheduled for

release on May 1, 2015

quickly realize they will be overwhelmed as wave after wave of Chitauri

descend upon Earth. Banner transforms into Hulk, and together with

Rogers, Stark, Thor, Barton and Romanoff, they battle the Chitauri while

evacuating civilians. Hulk goes after Loki and beats him into submission.

Romanoff makes her way to the portal, where Selvig, freed of Loki’s

control, reveals that Loki’s scepter can be used to close the portal.

Meanwhile, Fury’s superiors attempt to end the invasion by launching a

nuclear missile at Manhattan.

Transformers Dark of The Moon

Transformers is a series of American science fiction action films directed

by Michael Bay, and based on the toys created by Hasbro and Tomy. The

first film, Transformers, was released in 2007, the second, Transformers:

Revenge of the Fallen, in 2009, and the third, Transformers: Dark of the

Moon in 2011. Despite Bay’s original confirmation on Dark of the Moon being

his final installment in the franchise, Hasbro’s CEO Brian Goldner

expressed his hopes for further films to be made with or without Bay; a

fourth film has thus been confirmed, with Bay returning to direct, aiming

for a 2014 release. To date, the series has been distributed by Paramount

Pictures, DreamWorks, and United International Pictures. The series has

received mixed to negative critical reception, with criticism focusing on the

thin plots, undeveloped characters, crude humor and the lengths of the

films. However, many critics praised the visuals and action sequences, and it

is currently the 12th highest-grossing film series and the 4th highest-

grossing when averaged to gross per film, behind the The Lord of the

Rings, Harry Potter, and Pirates of the Caribbean film series.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Transformers: Dark of the Moon is the third film in the series. When the

war on Cybertron between the Autobots and Decepticons appears lost to

the Autobots, their leader, Sentinel Prime (Leonard Nimoy), attempts to

launch the Ark from their planet, containing the technology that could have

saved his race. However, it crash lands on Earth’s Moon in 1961. President

John F. Kennedy makes his famous promise to the nation to put a man on

the Moon.

As Sam Witwicky goes into adulthood with a new girlfriend named Carly

Spencer (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley), the Autobots learn of the Ark and of

Sentinel Prime. Thus, Sentinel Prime is brought back to Earth, and revived

using the Matrix of Leadership. Optimus Prime convinces America’s

leadership that they must protect Sentinel Prime, and his “pillars”, which

can help transport matter through time and space, but Sentinel betrays the

Autobots, as he allies with the Decepticons.

Avatar

Avatar is a 2009 American epic science fiction film written and directed by

James Cameron. The film is set in the mid-22nd century, when humans are

mining a precious mineral called unobtanium on Pandora, a lush habitable

moon of a gas giant in the Alpha Centauri star system.[9][10][11] The

expansion of the mining colony threatens the continued existence of a local

tribe of Na’vi – a humanoid species indigenous to Pandora. The film’s title

refers to a genetically engineered Na’vi body with the mind of a remotely

located human, and is used to interact with the natives of Pandora.

Development of Avatar began in 1994, when Cameron wrote an 80-page

treatment for the film. Filming was supposed to take place after the

completion of Cameron’s 1997 film Titanic, for a planned release in 1999,

but according to Cameron, the necessary technology was not yet available

to achieve his vision of the film. Work on the language of the film’s

extraterrestrial beings began in summer 2005, and Cameron began

developing the screenplay and fictional universe in early 2006. Avatar was

officially budgeted at $237 million. Other estimates put the cost between

$280 million and $310 million for production and at $150 million for

promotion. The film made extensive use of cutting edge motion capture

filming techniques, and was released for traditional viewing, 3D viewing

(using the RealD 3D, Dolby 3D, XpanD 3D, and IMAX 3D formats), and for

“4D” experiences in select South Korean theaters. The stereoscopic

filmmaking was touted as a breakthrough in cinematic technology.

Avatar was nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture and

Best Director, and won three, for Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography

and Best Visual Effects. The film’s home media release went on to break

opening sales records and became the top-selling Blu-ray of all time.

Following the film’s success, Cameron signed with 20th Century Fox to

produce two sequels, making Avatar the first of a planned trilogy.

Thor

Thor is a 2011 American superhero film based on the comic book character

of the same name published by Marvel Comics. It is the fourth film

released as part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The film was directed

by Kenneth Branagh.

The film tells the story of Thor, the crown prince of Asgard, who is exiled

from his homeland to Earth. While there, he forms a relationship with Jane

Foster, a scientist. However, Thor must stop his adopted brother Loki, who

intends to become the new king of Asgard.

Sam Raimi first developed the concept of a film adaptation of Thor in 2001,

but soon abandoned the project, leaving it in “development hell” for several

years. During this time, the rights were picked up by various film studios

until Marvel Studios signed Mark Protosevich to develop the project in

2006, and planned to finance it and release it through Paramount Pictures.

Matthew Vaughn was originally assigned to direct the film for a tentative

2010 release. However, after Vaughn was released from his holding deal in

2008, Branagh was approached and the film’s release was rescheduled into

2011. The main characters were cast in 2009, and principal photography

took place in California and New Mexico from January to May 2010. The

film was converted to 3D in post-production.

Thor was released on April 21, 2011, in Australia, and on May 6, 2011, in the

United States. The film was a financial success and received positive

reviews from film critics. The DVD and Blu-ray Disc sets were released on

September 13, 2011. A sequel, Thor: The Dark World, is set for release

November 8, 2013.

The Four Fantastic

Fantastic Four is a 2005 American superhero film inspired by the Marvel

Comics comic Fantastic Four. It was directed by Tim Story, and released by

20th Century Fox. It is the second live-action Fantastic Four film to be

filmed. A previous attempt, titled The Fantastic Four, was a B-movie

produced by Roger Corman that ultimately went unreleased. Fantastic Four

was released in the United States on July 8, 2005. Despite getting major

hype on its release and becoming a box office success, the film was

negatively received by critics. It was the third superhero film of the year,

after Elektra and Batman Begins. A sequel, Fantastic Four: Rise of the

Silver Surfer, was released in 2007.

Physicist Dr. Reed Richards is convinced evolution was triggered millions of

years ago on Earth by clouds of cosmic energy in space, and has calculated

that one of these clouds is soon going to pass near Earth. Together with his

friend, astronaut Ben Grimm, Richards convinces Dr. Victor von Doom, his

former classmate at MIT and now CEO of Von Doom Industries, to allow

him access to his privately owned space station to test the effects of a

biological sample of exposure to the cloud. Doom agrees in exchange for

control over the experiment and a majority of the profits from whatever

benefits it brings. Richards brings aboard his chief genetics researcher

and ex-girlfriend Susan Storm and her hot-headed astronaut brother

Johnny.

The quintet travels to outer space to observe the cosmic energy clouds, but

Richards miscalculates and the clouds materialize ahead of schedule.

Richards and the Storms leave the shielded station to rescue Grimm, who

had gone on a spacewalk to place the samples. Grimm receives full exposure

in outer space, while the others receive a more limited dose within the

station. Back home they soon develop strange superpowers. Richards can

stretch his body like rubber, Susan Storm can become invisible and

generate impact resistant force shields, Johnny Storm can engulf himself

in fire and fly unaided, and Grimm becomes a rocklike creature with

superhuman strength and durability.
