Space Adventure Movies

Space Adventure

Space adventure is a type of adventure film which usually takes place within the realm of outer space or in an imagined galaxy far, far away. They usually come from the science fiction genre such as ray-guns, alien races, rocket ship flight and combine them with some fast adrenalin-rush and narrative of the action adventure movie. These movies have most of their special signature style in the Industrial Light & Magic (ILM).

J. J. AbramsHe is well known for his work in the genres of action, drama, and science fiction. He wrote and produced many films such as Star Trek (2009) and Super 8 (2011). What ultimately inspired him about working with the subject matter was the same thing that had kept the franchise alive for so long but it wasn’t set a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. It was a hopeful vision of our own future he said, he want to make Star Trek feel as real as possible, using live sets and location shooting whenever he could. “So much incredible stuff happens in Star Trek,” he explains, “stuff that feels almost unimaginable to us. So he wanted to always keep it feeling as real as possible, emotionally and physically.

Feeling

I feel satisfied because star trek and star wars have because both show technology that is realistic that it actually look extremely real and it also inspired many people including me to be a scientist to discover new technology such as in the movies.
