Interesting, but poorly executed.
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)
Really kewl...but I wonder which character I would be. Probably Jim.
Not a great film but it?s a bit of escapism innit. It has some really funny moments (all unintentional though!)
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)
I remember waiting for something to happen. I am still waiting. And man is that musical score weird.
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.
The film that solidified my love of Gary Sinise as an actor. Well cast, well scripted and enjoyable from beginning to end.
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)
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.
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.
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)
Old show but i still remember that the main actor gone with that martian to another dimension throught a vortex portal
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.
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.
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)
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)
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.
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)
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..
Los homenajes no siempre salen bien y mas cuando se elige algo tan grande para rendirle tributo
I like this movie beacuse I like the idea of ufo´s, that we are not alone in the universe.
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
I like this movie because of the Martian and the story of how Mars and Earth came to be
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)
Gary Sinise bring the great character in this film. at last, he is going to mars after his wife dead
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)
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.
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)
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.
Good movie. The movie pictures were genial and also I leant so many about the planet Mars.
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)
