Annually for
Popular Mechanics' print edition, I have the pleasure of looking back at the year's most impressive movie effects and talking to the people who made them happen. Right around the Oscars, the feature shows up on the website.
So here it is, featuring
Jason Bourne,
The Jungle Book,
Sully,
Passengers and even
Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk. And if
you go here, you'll see a little bonus cut, if you will, of my conversation with the
Arrival team as we geek out about James Turrell.
