The Martian

★★★★

"Ultimately, however, The Martian succeeds by embracing what Cuarón and Nolan seemed so at pains to avoid: unlike their films, Scott’s movie does not see cinematic technology as something that is to be overcome by the plot but as a valuable supporter of the experience as a whole. Scott and DP Dariusz Wolski offer sweeping CGI vistas of Mars, perfectly exploiting the planet’s picturesquely barren plains, plateaus, mountains, and canyons, drawing on a rich archive of Mars rover footage to make the Red Planet come alive."
