You're not supposed to judge a book by its cover.

But these are films - visual spectacles that are judged, scrutinised and awarded for having the best darn covers in the business.

Editor and cinematographer Vic Rincon has compiled a whirlwind, 100-second tour of the five films nominated for the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects:

  • Mad Max: Fury Road 
  • Star Wars: The Force Awakens 
  • The Revenant 
  • The Martian 
  • Ex Machina 

From space romps to western grit, they make for one truly pretty picture.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
