Collider has published a ranked list of the six best adventure films released since 2010, highlighting movies that favour real stunts, practical effects and physical performances over heavy reliance on CGI. The author argues that this tangible, "real person did that" quality has become rarer in modern blockbusters, and singles out films that still deliver genuine tension and spectacle through authentic filmmaking choices.

Among the entries detailed are Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" (2012), praised for its Oscar-winning visual effects and philosophical ending; Ridley Scott's "The Martian" (2015), noted for blending survival drama with humour as Matt Damon's stranded astronaut "sciences" his way off Mars; and Alejandro G. Iñárritu's "The Revenant" (2015), remembered for Leonardo DiCaprio's gruelling, natural-light shoot and his long-awaited Oscar win. The full list features six films in total, ranked from six down to one.
