So where does Scott fit into all this? Despite all the levity and giggles, the film maker does what he knows best, which is to make a grasping field. The Martian is another stunning image from Scott, full of designs and shades, amazing with its naturalism and approximation. From the beginning sandstorm, to the expansive deserts of Mars, down to the not-too-distant NASA head office, and finishing with the climax’s weightless ribbons dancing, each field is unique from the quality and knowledge of the 77-year-old auteur.
