What fiction to recommend?
Fans of beautiful science fiction films with a touch of romance will find the Time Traveler's Wife interesting. This film tells about a person with a unique genetic disease - time travel syndrome. Henry (that is the name of the hero) throws him in time completely arbitrarily, and he cannot control these jumps. He tries to get used to such a life, prepares himself for trials, acquires useful skills, because every time after a jump he is defenseless and completely naked. One day, Henry meets Claire in the library, and she, judging by numerous signs, has known him for a very long time.
District 9 is an iconic science fiction film that literally grew out of a short short film. This is a topical, poignant movie about alien refugees who were forced to land in the area of the city of Johannesburg in South Africa. The ghetto "District No. 9" was organized for them, but since the aliens did not intend to fly away, social tension among the indigenous population began to grow. This film makes tons of references to the real-life Cape Town “6th” area, but even if you watch the film without these real political references, it grabs the viewer's attention and keeps them on their toes.
"Pandorum" is a fantastic picture about a huge colonizing ship that makes a flight to an earth-like planet. The flight should last for nearly a hundred years, so most of the crew and colonists are immersed in suspended animation, every few years the three crews give each other watch. However, after the next awakening of people, it turns out that something went wrong. This film has beautiful battles, a fascinating psychological line and an unexpected ending. Pandorum is a good example of hermetic horror films.
"Pandorum" flopped at the box office, but won many fans.

This low-budget picture is about a university professor who is going to move to another city, and the day before he gathers friends and colleagues to tell them that in fact he is already fourteen thousand years old, so he changes his place of residence every ten years so as not to arouse suspicion. Of course, this confession makes his friends laugh, but the further he tells his story, the more difficult it is to discern whether it is just a joke or the truth.
