The Martian (2015)

Nominated for an impressive seven Oscars in 2016, Ridley Scott's The Martian is a demonstration of Matt Damon's skill. He stars as an astronaut stranded on Mars who's tasked with informing his colleagues on Earth that he is, in fact, alive and in need of help. Visually, it's stunning — Mars has never looked better — and its brilliant soundscape makes it an immersive film not to be missed.
