If Brian De Palma directed Mission to Mars for 10-year-olds who've never seen a science fiction film, he can be credited for crafting a marginally successful adventure. Isolated moments in this film serve the highest purpose of its genre, inspiring a sense of wonder and awe in the context of a fascinating future (specifically, the year 2020). But because most of us have seen a lot of science fiction films, it's impossible to ignore this one's derivative plot, cardboard characters, and drearily dumb dialogue. Despite an awesome and painstakingly authentic display of cool technology and dazzling special effects, Mission to Mars is light years away from 2001: A Space Odyssey on the scale of human intelligence.

After dispensing with a few space-jockey clichés, the movie focuses on a Mars-bound rescue mission commanded by Jim McConnell (Gary Sinise), whose team (Tim Robbins, Connie Nielsen, Jerry O'Connell) has been sent to retrieve the sole survivor (Don Cheadle) of a tragic Mars landing. During the sequence en route to Mars, De Palma's in his element with two suspenseful scenes (including a dramatic--albeit somewhat silly--space walk) that are technically impressive. But when this Mission gets to Mars, the movie grows increasingly unconvincing, finally arriving at an alien encounter that more closely resembles an astronomical CGI video game. But this is a $75 million Hollywood movie, and no amount of technical wizardry can lift the burden of a juvenile screenplay. Kudos to Sinise, his costars, and the special effects wizards for making the most of hoary material; shame on just about everyone else involved. --Jeff Shannon

Imagination...........



The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because it's only intangibles, ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die.

CHUCK PALAHNIUK, Choke

I read many of the negative reviews, and had to ask myself who are these so called critics? I believe this movie is science fiction, I think those guys have outgrown their imagination and that is tragic at best!!

I really enjoyed the movie the actors were fun, it took you through many different emotions and let you use your imagination to the possiblilites
of what if- isn't that was a good movie is supposed to do?

So dorky but still a good movie :)

Ok, it's not Star Wars or Signs, but it's still a good movie. My husband thinks I've lost my mind but I still like it anyway. Maybe it's because it reminds of those old 1950's classics like "The Day The Earth Stood Still." :) Even the music is bizarre - LOL! But for some reason I do love this movie- ha!! It will go into my "classics" collection :) Also I really liked Jerry O'Connell as Phil, Tim Robbins and Gary Sinise. All excellent actors. :) If there was a movie worse than this, it is "Red Planet" with Val Kilmer. Val was better as Doc Holliday in "Tombstone."

Mission To Mars,I Loved It!

I just watched my library's copy of this last night. My first time seeing it,and I think it's a great Sci-Fi movie.Very original,interesting, and 'surprising' story.

I enjoyed everything about it,except the music is really lame.

It is well worth the time to watch.
