NOTES:
General contains only documentaries about space and the planets.
Interplanetary catagories, those ranging from the Sun to Neptune (including Earth orbit), mean that place is the main destination of the people.
Interstellar means the human beings attain the capability of light speed and use it to travel around the local area of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Extragalactic means the action takes place in a totally different part of the universe, somewhere outside our galaxy.
Extinction event means some catastrophe like a cosmic impact is threatening to destroy all of human life.
Alien visit means in a way the opposite of Interstellar- in that the aliens come to us on Earth, as opposed to us going to them.
Monster / Dinosaur event means that either monsters like Godzilla or dinosaurs like those in Jurassic Park are the main focus of the movie.
The Future is the most complex because a movie here had one of two criteria to fulfill. it could mean either that present day human beings travel into the future of Earth through time (Back to the Future II, Idiocracy) or simply that the events in the movie take place in the future, with no connection at all to the present day, but with the stipulation that the events take place on Earth and not elsewhere. So Star Trek, despite portraying the human future in space, is classed 'Interstellar' because the humans have that power to boldly go, whereas in the category 'Future,' they are confined to Earth, usually in a dystopian way.
