The adventures of Indiana Jones represent one of the most remarkable series in the adventure exploration genre, and it stands as one of the most commercially successful and iconic franchises. Indiana Jones is a legendary hero for many audiences from the late '70s to the early '80s, even ranking second on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest film heroes of all time. The films depict the thrilling, captivating, and perilous adventures of the archaeologist Dr. Indiana Jones, brought to life by the renowned director Steven Spielberg. These movies played a significant role in solidifying Harrison Ford's status as a leading star. Despite being produced during a time when technology was relatively limited, viewers were completely captivated by the film's convincing storyline.

The Indiana Jones series consists of 4 films: Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Temple of Doom, The Last Crusade, and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. The first installment debuted in 1981, and the final chapter concluded in 2008, spanning 27 years: from Indiana Jones as a rebellious youth to Jones as a nimble middle-aged man, the essence of the film series remains highly appealing to audiences.

Harrison Ford is rightly hailed as the king of adventure action films. Besides his iconic role as Han Solo in the Star Wars series, he's always remembered as Indiana Jones. While this may not be the most artistically acclaimed series, it's undoubtedly one of the greatest adventure films of all time. Few can forget the image of the brave hero sporting a fedora and bullwhip. In fact, he's ranked second on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest film heroes of all time. With a character as iconic as Indiana Jones, his adventures are anything but ordinary, and when those journeys are crafted by the magical touch of director Steven Spielberg, known for creating masterpieces like Jaws, Close Encounters, and a slew of other blockbusters, only two words suffice: 'absolutely fantastic'.

Avatar is a 2009 American science fiction film written and directed by James Cameron, starring actors Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, Joel David Moore, Giovanni Ribisi, and Sigourney Weaver. The film is set in the year 2154, where humans are mining a valuable mineral called unobtanium on Pandora, a lush moon orbiting the planet Alpha Centauri. The expansion of mining operations threatens the existence of the indigenous Na’vi people on Pandora. The title of the film refers to the use of genetic technology to blend the DNA of the Na’vi and Earth humans by a research group studying interactions with the indigenous people of Pandora.

The concept of Avatar began in 1994 when Cameron wrote an 80-page treatment for the film. Filming is said to have taken place after Cameron completed his 1998 film 'Titanic,' and became a project in 1999, but according to Cameron, the necessary visual effects were not available to achieve what he had envisioned for the film. Starting work on the idea of an alien language in the summer of 2005, Cameron progressed to developing the film's screenplay and contemplating a fictional planet in early 2006. Avatar officially received a budget draft of $237 million. Other estimates suggest production costs of around $280 to $310 million and $150 million for marketing.

The film was released in traditional 2D, 3D (using RealD 3D, Dolby 3D, XpanD 3D, IMAX 3D formats), and 4D formats. The filmmaking is widely regarded as a breakthrough in film technology. On December 10, 2009, Avatar premiered in London; on December 16, it was released internationally; on December 18, it premiered in the United States and Canada, receiving widespread praise and commercial success.

In the 2000s, The Lord of the Rings film series made cinematic history, winning 17 Oscars and grossing nearly $3 billion worldwide. The tales of hobbits, elves, wizards, and colossal monsters brought unforgettable experiences to millions of movie lovers. Therefore, when director Peter Jackson decided to bring to life The Hobbit, fans worldwide continued to anticipate extraordinary adventures. Split into three parts akin to The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit transports viewers back to the fantastical world of Middle-earth, inviting them on an epic journey alongside Bilbo Baggins, the uncle of character Frodo.

Set before the events of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit revolves around Bilbo Baggins, who embarks on an extraordinary adventure to reclaim the Dwarf Kingdom under the Lonely Mountain, which is occupied by the giant dragon Smaug. Bilbo's journey is accompanied by the Grey Wizard Gandalf and 13 Dwarf companions, led by Prince Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey takes them to the mysterious lands of Middle-earth – where dazzling elves, colossal trolls, enigmatic wizards, and hidden spirits observe their every move. Apart from the storyline and performances, the first notable aspect that captivates audiences of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is its frame rate of 48 frames per second (normally 24 frames per second).

This film is the world's first to be screened with this frame rate, aimed at enhancing the image quality of the silver screen. Characters move faster, images are smoother, and grand scenes deliver a more visually satisfying experience. The transition from 24 frames per second to 48 frames per second is quite significant and has sparked much debate among viewers – half will like it, and half will not. Some actors reprise their roles from The Lord of the Rings, such as Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis, Ian Holm, and Hugo Weaving, while some characters not present in the book appear in the film, such as Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Elijah Wood, and Orlando Bloom. This is a major blockbuster project in American cinema, with an investment of $625 million, making it the most expensive film in American cinema history, considering all three parts.

Big Fish (2003) is a remarkable and classic film for families or those who have become parents. It contains secrets that turn life into mythology and paradise. Of course, like the alchemists' secrets that turned lead into gold, the ingredients we know, which are belief, courage, love, mystery, wisdom, and... a little imagination.

If you enjoy fishing, you'll surely want to catch the big fish, but it's incredibly challenging because big fish are rare, and they have secrets to avoid traps. So, what's their secret? Edward has revealed it to us; big fish don't bite on ordinary bait, to catch them, you need to use bait made of gold. That's the metaphor, so now you understand the significance of the movie's title, 'Big Fish.' If you were a fish living in the lake, would you want to survive to enjoy the happiness of life or become a fish in the frying pan of the chef? When Will was young, he wholeheartedly believed in his father's life stories, but as he grew up, he thought it was either fiction or a cover-up for truths Edward couldn't speak. Will wants to know the truth, he no longer wants to hear mythical tales. You'll get the answers when you watch this entire movie; it's very intriguing and meaningful.

Right after wrapping up the Planet of the Apes film, Tim Burton didn't rest; instead, he immediately launched a project with profound meaning to himself: Big Fish. The film is an enchanting adventure in a fascinating wonderland of a dreamy and passionate father. Someone who always sees life through its most beautiful aspects. Though at times his adventurous tales leave his son feeling bored and exhausted, in the end, his optimism and love for life surpass all, passed down to his son and perhaps many generations beyond. Besides a deeply humane script, Big Fish impresses with its simple yet unexpectedly beautiful natural landscapes that truly touch the heart of the viewers.

Set in the dystopian days of humanity, where killing is no longer about property but water and gasoline; The Mad Max franchise, though not the originator of the post-apocalyptic theme, is often seen as the perfect inspiration for subsequent films on the same subject. By the fourth installment, Miller's blend of madness he stirred in the previous three parts with unusually fast-paced frames, and encounters between good and evil couldn't be more alien now harmonized with cutting-edge cinematography.

The segment that left the strongest impression on me was the final chase between Joe and Mad Max (actually chasing Furiosa to reclaim his wife, Max is just a 'blood bag' for Nux...). It's precisely in that neither long nor short duration, the car raids, the sky-high fire raids, and even the 'aerial combat' of the War Boys warriors showcased George Miller's terrifyingly creative mind. If there was once an article 'What's in Nolan's brain?', then now there should be another titled 'What's not in Miller's brain'

Winner of 6 Oscars at the 88th Academy Awards for Best Costume Design, Production Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Film Editing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Mixing. The presence of actors Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron also contributed to making Mad Max a true blockbuster. It's safe to say Mad Max: Fury Road carries the essence of a classic adventure-action film that any fan of this genre must watch.

Interstellar is set in a not-so-distant future world, where human civilization is slowly crumbling, and humanity faces the threat of extinction. Humans are dying out as crops providing sustenance gradually lose the ability to yield fruit. Corn is the only thing left that can help humans survive, but even that won't last much longer. At this time, scientists accidentally discover a strange black hole near Saturn, which, according to their exploration, could lead to a new planetary system, with conditions suitable for life to thrive. They decide to choose Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) to lead a team of astronauts to the black hole, carrying the fragile hope of saving humanity.

The entirety of Interstellar is a harrowing journey, fraught with obstacles, embodying great human spirit. The main character, Cooper, is a skilled engineer and astronaut of NASA, but due to an accident and changing times, he is forced to abandon his dreams to become a farmer, supporting his small family. An aging father and two young children are all that's left after his wife's passing. The mission beyond space rekindles the passion that seemed to have withered away within him for so long: To be an astronaut. It's also the only hope that can bring a brighter future to his family and all of humanity. But Cooper doesn't know when he'll be able to return. And his young daughter Murph, too attached to him, can't bear the thought of letting her father go.

Interstellar carries a grand scale when it comes to conveying the message of love and sacrifice. But when examining the context of the film, the audience will find something slightly disproportionate. The global catastrophe is depicted within a narrow scope, sometimes described hastily. Fortunately, Christopher Nolan successfully compensates for this by pulling the viewers' emotions through the arduous journey and the relationships between the characters, allowing them to temporarily overlook the film's shortcomings.
