So Apollo 13 = obvious

Elysium = no

5th element = yes

So what about Starship troopers and Enders game. Both of which featured distant sentient insectoid life capable of launching attacks using FTL technology. Yes to both.

Avatar? Gets a bit shaky as the film has little to do with space travel but the story cant survive without a non earth setting. Unless of course you swap aliens for native americans and disabled space marine for damaged union soldier.

Dune? Gotta say yes.
