Ryan Gosling’s Sci-Fi Movie Breaks from Digital VFX Trend

According to director Miller, a key element of the movie’s appeal is that it was filmed entirely using practical sets – no green screens were used at all. The filmmakers actually built a large portion of the spaceship, both inside and out, allowing the actors to interact with a real environment. This commitment to physical sets, and having a tangible set around the actors at all times, contributes to the film’s realistic and natural feel.
