   The Martian (2015)

   ★★★½
10. 10
    Blade Runner (1982)

    Maganda ang world building, with lots of miniature work and early VFX, very similar to Star Wars which pioneered this technique.

15. 15
    Body of Lies (2008)

    ★★½

    What I felt most was the constant tension of never knowing who is telling the truth.

    ★★½

    This is just another Ridley Scott's side mission.

17. 17
    Gladiator II (2024)

    ★½

    The film looks very modern, and you can really feel the heavy use of CGI right away.
