Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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

I stumbled onto this movie tonight, knew nothing about it in advance, and decided to watch because of the great cast. All I can say is "WOW." Hard to believe this was ever really shown in a movie theater.
REALLY slow pacing (which actually gets SLOWER as the movie goes on); really poorly written dialogue (full of cliches and "captain obvious" descriptions of what is going on); very erratic quality of special effects; pretentious/overblown/self-important attitude tacked onto a storyline ... Read More

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.

Ughh! I feel sorry for all of the amazing talent involved in this film. Every one of the actors, the director & composer are capable of solid work and it does not show one bit. It painful to watch as cliche after cliche is SLOWLY marched before you to wonder over. There are so many holes in this story's logic. The main violation is the script, but I feel the direction for this was just off as well. Disney's rediculous RocketMan about a trip to Mars is a much better film (and that's as silly as a film ...

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" ... Read More

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!!
