The Martian
This place, called Wadi Rum, is where all non-LA studio set scenes were shot for the film. It's a world heritage site, located in Jordan. By editing the lighting and saturating the orange colors in the surrounding area rock formations, filmmakers created a place that looks just like the Mars surface. While this is certainly cool and creative, The Martian was not the first movie that came up with the idea of using Wadi Rum to depict the planet. Movies like Mission to Mars, Red Planet, and The Last Days on Mars all used this spot.
