The Martian is one of the most gripping and authentic sci-fi films I’ve seen. The movie takes off with or without you, wasting no time getting to the reason you are there. This is a remarkable race to the end which is expertly handled by the overpowering will of director Ridley Scott and by the smartly written script by Drew Goddard.

The most important thing about the Oculus Rift is that the device raised the bar for what virtual reality should be, but as I explain here, it’s not the best there is. Here’s why.
