Mission To Mars Reviews and Ratings



  • December 21, 2009
    Interesting, but poorly executed.
  • October 8, 2009
    This is a solid sci-fi movie about a rescue mission to the planet Mars. Stars Gary Sinise, Tim Robbins, Don Cheadle and Jerry O'Connell. The film has a great cast. The F/X is great in this. But the story overall was lacking something. I think I expected more after watching the tr...( read more)ailers. Sort of a odd ending but overall worth at least a one time watch.

    Really kewl...but I wonder which character I would be. Probably Jim.
  • September 25, 2009
    Not a great film but it?s a bit of escapism innit. It has some really funny moments (all unintentional though!)
  • September 19, 2009
    i liked this movie for the ending .. pretty much the only thing original. allot of comparison to 2001 and i can see why. but that only lets you know how ahead of its time 2001 really was. overall this movie is enjoyable and thats why i like it. make you imagine of why what when ...( read more)where who ..

    I remember waiting for something to happen. I am still waiting. And man is that musical score weird.
  • September 8, 2009
    A great movie with a certain realism and a tragic loss. If Mars was to be colonized in the near future, this is something we might expect--up until the aliens on Mars part.
  • August 21, 2009
    The film that solidified my love of Gary Sinise as an actor. Well cast, well scripted and enjoyable from beginning to end.
  • August 13, 2009
    Please sir could I have s'more?

    I never thought such words would come out my mouth (judging by the cast, of course), but I have to say that Mission to Mars is so unredeemably bad it drew ribald laughter during its Seriously Dramatic Moments and horrendous booing over the closing credits. The acting is so wooden...( read more) it might as well have been performed by marionettes. The script is so awful I have trouble believing it was not written by actual Martians.

    The unintentional humor in Mission to Mars can certainly make for a lively time at the movie theater, but it's hardly a reason to pay money to watch this disaster on celluloid. If Disney wanted to make this a comedy, they should have taken this advice: Try casting Mike Myers, Eddie Murphy, Janeane Garofalo, and Jason Alexander as our space heroes. Now that would be a mission to Mars.

    well i saw some of it on TV and it was really really good so i want to watch it on a dvd.....but out movie store sold it so i have to wait or buy it.
  • July 4, 2009
    Great acting, well-scripted, and thought-provoking theme. I believe it is underrated, and that it was a masterful concept for a 21st century film. These type of films are rare, but should be appreciated, indefinitely, forever.

    Just watched it again last night. Enjoyable, good movie.
  • June 28, 2009
    Out of all the nastey death scenes I've seen in the movies, there was one in here that I find the MOST DESTURBING! The guy gets sucked up by the wind tunnel and is spinning sooooo fast that his limbs are ripped off!! My mouth literly fell open when I saw that. It was just,,,,ahh ...( read more)discusting!
  • June 25, 2009
    Old show but i still remember that the main actor gone with that martian to another dimension throught a vortex portal
  • June 23, 2009
    I've seen this movie so many times now that I can't count them all...
  • June 18, 2009
    Great movie..! Nice n calming
  • June 9, 2009
    So many Mars movies that came out around the same time, it's amazing anyone can keep them straight, but at least this one didn't have boogy men.
  • May 12, 2009
    Kind of cool but kind of lame.
    But I did enjoy this movie.
  • May 3, 2009
    so does this one.....makes too much since... hmmmmmm??
  • May 2, 2009
    The mythology of the fallacious Theory of Evolution (emphasis on "theory") is central to the ending of this movie. With that disclaimer in mind, this is an enjoyable and engrossing movie.
  • April 29, 2009
    i liked this movie but i hated the ending it was pretty unbelievable
    i like sci fi's but i dont like some movies where its going well and you think there is going to be a great ending but end up giving you a shit excse as to way things happened its like the ending to indiana jo...( read more)nes 4 which i also didnt like as it was great and then the ending is a let down!!
  • April 26, 2009
    I was dissapointed very much by this film.
  • April 23, 2009
    This film was ok until the end! Cheesy End
  • April 15, 2009
    not what i was expecting.
  • April 1, 2009
    In this day and age of computer generated eye candy, it is very common to see movies that are based solely on special effects and nothing else. Movies like Wing Commander have great graphics, but the story line and acting leave you back at the ticket booth.
    Mission to Mars does ...( read more)not fit in this category. When I saw previews, the special effects looked great, but I could also tell that there was a plot to this movie. For once, I was right on the mark. Mission to Mars made you think about what was happening and what the consequences were going to be. The suspense takes a firm grip on one's eyelids and pulls them up to the ceiling.


    What truly makes this movie stand above others of its ilk is the great acting of the characters. In sci-fi shoot 'em ups, the viewer develops a way of not caring for the characters, as they are uncreative and inflexible. Mission to Mars made me care about every single character; I was eagerly awaiting every twist and relished every event.
    The climax (which I will not at all spoil) was hair raising and at the end extremely satisfying. Upon leaving the theater I quickly realised that I haven't seen a better movie all year. I give every recommendation I know to go see this movie. And, by the way, look out for some foreshadowing. It's in there.
  • March 27, 2009
    Everything about this movie was great until theres a plot twist that messes it up. You can breath on mars and the movie ends with a slight ripoff of 2001: a space oddysey. Still a good movie.
  • March 19, 2009
    Brian DePalma can suck my balls. Everything he does is just a rip off of something else. Even the good movies he's done (Carrie and Blow Out) are taken from somewhere else. If it wasn't for Alfred Hitchcock, DePalma wouldn't have a career, because he'd have nobody to steal fro...( read more)m. Except in the case of this movie where he rips off Kubrick instead. I've got no problem with people wanting to show their influences, but give me a fuckin' break.
  • February 28, 2009
    1stly, I was so surprised to see Gary Sinise aka Det. Mac Taylor in it & i was watching it & thought it was so intreguing... & then, i finally had a chance to watch the ending & it totally 'bombed' me... at lis the intreguing part is nice, I like the DNA part too..
  • January 25, 2009
    Los homenajes no siempre salen bien y mas cuando se elige algo tan grande para rendirle tributo
  • January 13, 2009
    I like this movie beacuse I like the idea of ufo´s, that we are not alone in the universe.
  • January 10, 2009
    This big-budget sci-fi adventure follows a problem-plagued manned mission to the Red Planet, which uncovers much more than a few rust coloured rocks. With Gary Sinise and Tim Robbins
  • December 18, 2008
    I like this movie because of the Martian and the story of how Mars and Earth came to be
  • December 6, 2008
    no surprise why i put the "not interested" before actually seeing it... got to c it mainly bcoz my bros wanna watch it... it was all ok till it has gotten to the end,no offense but it has a pretty illogical, + stoopid ending - where is jim heading to, another planet to start of a...( read more)s an ancient creature? + i didn't expect to c any martian in particular in this movie, but i did... LOL... that explains why i'm not a fan of sci-fi movies or perhaps ridiculous ones...
  • November 17, 2008
    Gary Sinise bring the great character in this film. at last, he is going to mars after his wife dead
  • October 25, 2008
    not bad, a little bit of it is unbelievable, but still an ok movie
  • October 12, 2008
    At least De Palma started aping someone other than Hitchcock.
  • September 23, 2008
    Clearly inspired by Kubrick's 2001, DePalma visits outer space, weaving a planetary panspermia theory of evolution, and choreographing some impressive shots.
    Despite the weaknesses of the story, and the exclusively scientific and introspective point of view, the last minutes are ...( read more)lifted audibly, visually and emotionally by Ennio Morricone's ethereal music; and the capableness of its director and lead actor.
  • September 21, 2008
    Great actors who didn't have to do much. Another answer to Why We're Here. I weep at the end. The music was very good, the special effects were pretty good. A little quiet if you're in the mood for action.
  • September 20, 2008
    Despite a slow-moving pace and a horrendous score, the movie was visually impressive with a great cast. Robbins, Cheadle and Sinise are all top notch, and I still find Jerry O'Connell amusing. The premise was engaging, and although similar in theme to 2001: A Space Odyssey, it's ...( read more)much more accessible, with more character development, and has a slightly different point of view.
  • September 20, 2008
    very good space movie
  • September 17, 2008
    Sort of a mix between Apollo 13 and 2001: A Space Odyssey. Not a bad movie, but cheesy at times (Jerry O'Connell is in it) and lacking excitement.
  • September 15, 2008
    Good movie. The movie pictures were genial and also I leant so many about the planet Mars.
  • August 27, 2008
    The best film made around mars and what meaning it gives to life
  • August 26, 2008
    Although many people thought this was a horrible film, I didn't think it was too bad. The idea is something to ponder over, as it presents a brand new idea about the origins of man. I'm a fan of Gary Sinise, and he brings everything to the film. Interesting one to see, especially...( read more) if you enjoy movies about space travel.
