Technology in movies is evolving at a rapid rate which can be seen in the movies like avatar, inception etc. Film makers also prefer to target tech audiences nowadays, so that they get most out of their films. Here is a list(Not Sorted) of 10 movies which made use of fantastic technology.



10. 2001: A Space Odyssey

After 5 years of development A Space Odyessy was released in 1968 but wasn’t a hit at that time. A few decades later, it is considered one of the most influential and important films in modern history.The movie shaped how computers and the overarching ideas of technology would be portrayed in cinema.It encapsulates the wonder of technology and raises questions about how machines intersect with our lives.
The film had a tremendous amount of influence on films like WALL-E and TRON: Legacy.



9. Minority Report

Even today, Minority Report continues to influence the technology we use and develop. What made Minority Report so striking in 2002 was its realistic and reasonable projection of how the world would look in 2054. From tablets with instantly changing/updating content, to touch- and motion-based UI controls, to stores that greet you by name and ask about your last purchase, seems unreasonable.
Filmmaker worked with technology innovators and researchers to create this film and design its interface. It’s impossible to deny the influence Minority Report has had on consumer electronics and industrial design in general.

8. Collapsus

Collapsus movie is an exploration of the imminent energy transition from fossil fuels to alternative energy sources. What makes the film an the entire project is the way in which the material is created and brought together.

7. WALL-E

WALL-E is a story of a lonely, forgotten robot who loves Hello, Dolly! and manages to find love  and life. 
Its story is thought-provoking, especially in the context of how technology can make things easier, but also make living less of an experience. The visuals of the movie are very impressive indeed.

6. We Live in Public

In an award winning documentary, We Live in Public, profiles Josh Harris who was  a dot com millionaire from the Web 1.0. Harris, who the film bills as “the greatest Internet pioneer you have never heard of” was truly ahead of his time in his business plans for video and social communication over the Internet.
Harris was also ahead of his time when it came to living out his life in public. Long before Facebook, YouTube and Twitter made sharing personal photos, videos or missives commonplace, Harris was living out his life in avant-garde public displays and streaming that content online.
Harris also experienced the downside of living so publicly long before the privacy implications of Facebook became front page news.


5. Avatar

Not only is Avatar the most successful motion picture of all time, it is also one of the most technically impressive.
Using a 3D camera system, Avatar manages to toe the line between animation and live action in a way like never before. The visuals of the film, especially in 3D, go beyond what we can express in words. Avatar, like Star Wars before it, has set the tone for how technology will be used in film going forward.
 

4. Inception

We think Inception is one of the best films of the year. The film has many technical elements, but this is the sort of film that is more about the puzzle, rather than the gadgetry.
The visuals, the music and the overlying subject matter which the nature of the film necessitates, makes this one of the best science fiction thrillers to come out in years. 

3. Iron Man/Iron Man 2

One of the most impressive comic book films in recent years was Iron Man. It and its sequel Iron Man 2 manage to appeal to the die-hard comic book/tech geek, while still resonating with mainstream audiences.
In addition to that, Tony Stark and Stark Industries have some of the coolest gadgets around. In fact, aspects of the Stark character are purportedly based on a real tech titans.

2. The Social Network

When it was first announced that a “Facebook movie” was going into production, the world laughed out loud. When The Social Network was released, we stopped laughing.
Perhaps more than any other film to date, The Social Network effectively captures the experience of hacking code. The film is about much more than just the website Facebook, but by the same token, it still manages to effectively bring the online experience to the big screen in a way that accurately portrays the reality of the experience.

1. TRON: Legacy

When the original TRON was released in 1982, it was a breakthrough not only in how computers were portrayed on screen, but how computers and technology were used in the creation of motion picture.
Twenty-eight years later, the technical reception for TRON: Legacy is quite different. Combining not just a technical story, but also 3D visuals like Avatar and CGI motion-capture technology, this film is incredibly advanced.
It has been released on 17th Dec,2010.
