Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

ShangLuda Admirable film.

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

rickirozai I made an account just to comment on this pile of garbage.If you thought Battlefield Earth was a well written, well acted and scientifically reasonable movie then you will find this to be absolute trash. If you liked the Martian, you wont even be able to last 30 minutes into this steaming pile of shite, it is the worst SF movie I have ever seen, perhaps even the worst movie period.Save yourself the time and just google Carrie Anne Moss shower scene, that boobshot was literally the only redeeming quality of this movie.Now they say I need more lines of text, this movie does not deserve 10 lines, just two words are sufficient, IT SUCKS!

politehere I'm an avid science-fiction fan and I enjoy movies about space travel, especially if it's about traveling to the Mars. This movie is so unwatchable that I barely cared about what was happening to the characters.The movie is not engaging at all and the characters are all unlikable,even the actress that played Trinity in the Matrix looks completely bland in this horrible movie. The sets are all poorly made and even by the standards of 15 years ago, the special effects are disastrous;considering there were fantastic movies like the Matrix and the Terminator 2 around at the time.I'm sure my judgment has not been influenced by all the successful science fiction movies I've seen during all these years. I even enjoyed Mission to Mars. At least that movie was emotionally engaging, but this one is just horrible. By the end of the movie, my nephew and I were laughing out loud at how horrible the movie was and we both thought its only redeeming quality was the girl's space suit near the end of the movie, which was much more attractive than the ugly suits the characters had on all the time. This movie is not even eye-candy. It is just terrible. Do not even get me started on how unrealistic and unscientific it was. Avoid this movie like the plague.

SnoopyStyle Earth is suffering from environmental damage. Mars has been slowly terra-formed as an alternative home. However it is somehow losing oxygen. A space mission is sent to discover the cause. The spacecraft is damaged by massive gamma radiation burst and the crew crash land to investigate Mars.It takes too long to get the movie going. There is too much tech talk without any magic. They don't even get to Mars until after 30 minutes. They spent too much time talking on the spaceship. I think we're suppose to be awed by all the spaceship special effects. It's not that special. Most of the start could easily be thrown out.The action is confused and rather uncompelling. It doesn't get any better on the ground. It's a slow moving grind. The orange look, the helmets, and the buzzy voices all make for a tiring watch. Watching people slowly suffocate is really boring. Having Carrie-Anne separated from everybody doesn't help. The climax (if you could call it that) has no suspense. It is completely uninteresting.

Helio Copter Apparently, NASA itself basically disowned RED PLANET. That is, they declined to act as consultants because of the film's egregious scientific inaccuracies. I did not learn about that until after I had naively watched it for the first time. Then, when I watched for the second time, I realized how horrible the screenplay is. All of which is a shame, because there are some really nice visual effects and cinematography, and the assembled cast of actors is very good. The general story itself is not bad. In fact, it is quite compelling, but the devil is in the execution here, and the execution is less than stellar.However, in spite of all of that, I still find RED PLANET to be a rather enjoyable viewing experience. What can I say, I love stories about Mars exploration, and this one has enough for the eyes to reward the looking. The competitor/sister film MISSION TO MARS seems to have a better reputation. If nothing else, I find myself wanting more of these types of stories, and there is something to be said for that.
