20th Century Fox’s sci-fi filmThe Martianwas a surprise hit at this year’s box office, bringing in over $488 million worldwide so far in its theatrical outing. People might point to the fact thatThe Martianwas directed byRidley Scottand starredMatt Damonto account for the film’s success, but I’d point right back to Scott’sPrometheusand Damon’sElysium, two films that had a similar budget toThe Martianbut only a fraction of the ticket sales. So while its financial success came as a surprise, the bigger shock was that the film got made at all....

It’s hard to overstate how dramaticallyThe Bourne Identitychanged action cinema when it first debuted in 2002. Whilethe action films of the 1990shad begun to prioritize spectacle and camp,The Bourne Identitytold a grounded espionage story that felt far more realistic. DirectorPaul Greengrasseventually took the franchise to new heights with the two subsequent sequels,The Bourne SupremacyandThe Bourne Ultimatum, which sawMatt Damon’s Jason Bourne examining the conspiracy involving the covert Treadstone program. The franchise briefly took a detour withThe Bourne Legacy, a spinoff that focused on the new hero Aaron Cross (Jeremy Renner)....
