    The latest Science Movie is Oppenheimer…

    It is a biopic of J Robert Oppenheimer, the “father of the atomic bomb”.

    The film depicts the saga of the man who unleashed the tremendous destructive power of Atom.

    Oppenheimer chronicles the life of the American theoretical physicist, who became the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory during World War II and invented the first nuclear weapon that would end the war.  

    Christopher Nolan has made a biopic on the man who wanted to create the perfect bomb. The film unfurls the plots from Robert Oppenheimer’s education to the Manhattan Project which led to the creation of the ‘fat boy’ which ended the world war II,

    Later however Oppenheimer realised that the weapon he has made has limitless capacity of destruction and the realisation of the horrific creation that would change the course of history.

    Oppenheimer quotes from the Bhagavad Gita: “Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds…”

    The film is running in theatres…

    AVATAR

    James Cameroon’s “Avatar” is not simply a sensational entertainment; it is a technical breakthrough. …

    The story unfolds sometime around 2154 when the earth is on the threshold of ecological doom. The only solution is a mineral called Unobtainium, found in abundance in Pandora.

    To get this mineral, the US Armed Forces’ scientific team works towards creating humanoids (human beings whose DNAs are manipulated to make them hybrids) that resemble the Na’vis—pale blue creatures with thin, elongated bodies, wide-set eyes and a flat nose and let them loose in Na’vi land, to persuade the natives to leave their land.

    The film takes us deep into Pandora with Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), a former marine who is crippled by war. As Cameron surges through the creeks, plateaus, fuming water streams and twinkling bushes with Jake, the film gathers momentum and ends in a catastrophic, morally loaded end.

    THE MARTIAN

    Adapted from Andy Weir’s novel of the same name, Ridley Scott’s, ‘The Martian’ depicts a tale of extreme optimism, courage, determination and imagination. Astronaut and botanist Mark Watney along with the Ares 3 crew led by Commander Melissa Lewis is collecting samples from the Martian surface. A sudden windstorm wreaks havoc on the crew and sweeps Watney away. Assuming Watney to have been killed by the falling debris, the crew abandons the planet and begin their journey back to Earth. But as the storm settles, Watney is injured and finds himself stranded alone on the red planet.

    As he struggles to survive with limited resources, Watney wanders around the Martian surface and tries to establish contact with folks back home. Though NASA reports about Watney’s death and aborts the mission, the crew is shocked to know about Watney being alive and thus contemplates a rescue plan to bring him back. The movie brilliantly illustrates loneliness, uncertainty, hope and survival. The application of scientific knowledge to his situation helps Watney survive. The movie reinstates human faith in science and evolution. The Martian brings us close to the possibilities of science and human potential for survival.
