Lightyear Sci-Fi Films

   The Toy Story film franchise has been synonymous with Pixar productions since the first film was released back in 1995. The original movie introduced audiences to an eccentric collection of talkative toys given voice by an impressive cast of actors and comedians. However, no film character is perhaps more beloved than Buzz Lightyear, an intergalactic ranger clad in a futuristic spacesuit. Buzz has been an essential character in the first four films, and recently, audiences got a chance to learn a lot more about the space ranger in his solo spinoff film, the aptly titled lightyear.

    

     Lightyear was a surprisingly complex film, given its origin in a series of animated anthropomorphic toy movies. In fact, the film contained so much content that the director, Angus MacLane, has expressed interest in a potential sequel,  as he believes that "...there are more stories to be told." There's much to love about the most recent installment in the Toy Story film franchise. Perhaps the most engaging aspect of the film was the way in which it paid homage to several science fiction flicks that came before it.

     Near the film's beginning, Buzz offers to test out a hyperspace fuel. When minutes long test concludes, he realizes that four years have passed around him. Nevertheless, he continues to carry out the tests, and all told, 60 years pass Buzz by. His loved ones have aged considerably, and some even pass away in the time that elapses during the tests. Some of the most gut-wrenching moments in Interstellar revolve around Matthew McConaughey's astronaut character watching his Earth-bound children rapidly age as he carries out his mission, and Lightyear utilizes this same scientific, moral conundrum beautifully.

        Buzz Lightyear and his partner had an accident while exploring the planet Prime, so they built a small settlement. Later, the crashed spacecraft is reset. Later, these crystals were used as fuel for this spacecraft and its composition was tested by Buzz Lightyear. Buzz Lightyear spent 4 minutes testing this fuel and failed the test. But it took him 4 minutes and by the time he returned to that planet 4 years had passed. This happened because he was speeding in the spaceship to check the fuel and his time was running out very quickly. This is called time dilation.

    He failed the fuel test and offered to retake the test. Then the robot cat given by his partner did some research and found the right fuel composition for the spacecraft after 62 years.    Later, when Buzz Lightyear returns to the planet, the Zurg aliens have invaded the planet and Buzz forms a small group with his partner's daughter, Alice Hothron who then plan to leave the planet. But these zurg aliens want the crystal fuel that Buzz Lightyear found. A robot named Zurg stole this crystal fuel from Buzz Lightyear and Buzz Lightyear was kidnapped by the leader of alien robots named Zurg.
