Red Planet: Or, Mission to Bores

by d_fienberg Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Oct 02 '02
Pros: The absence of action could be interpreted as existentialism, I guess
Cons: A plotless wonder. B-list cast giving B-list performances. So-so effects.
Every so often studios lose originality and they release copy-cat movies. And almost inevitably both of the movies actual stink. So which do you choose? My rule of thumb is that I choose the one with Don Cheadle. It may not necessarily be the better...

My suspension of disbelief was supended! Arggg!

by BunnyJav , Nov 12 '00
Pros: Great visual effects
Cons: Everything else!
I had such high hopes for Red Planet when I saw the trailers. Val Kilmer was always one of my favorite actors, I loved Carrie-Anne Moss in The Matrix, and I am always a sucker for a good sci-fi movie. Unfortunately, Red Planet was a...

Get them AMEE, Hurry!

by lisaatucla Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, May 23 '01
Pros: AMEE, the psycho robot, killing the crew
Cons: AMEE taking too long to kill the crew, film's insulting attempt to be scientific.
As a sci-fi movie, Red Planet fails miserably. The entire movie completely lacks a coherent plot, instead diseased with formulaic cliches stitched together like the Leatherface mask in Texas Chainsaw Massacre – hideous. Even worse than the poor plot is...

Red Planet

by phungus phungus is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Apr 02 '01
Pros: Good cast, great sound
Cons: Poor cheesy script, not enough action
Red Planet was destined to bomb as soon as Mission To Mars had it's first weekend at the theatres. Often times, the studios will release 2 movies based around the same kind of story (Remember Dante's Peak and Volcano?) and try and compete with each...

Watch out for that piece of space junk!

by jeff_wilder78 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 01 '02
Pros: Not as bad as some other examples of space junk.
Cons: Space junk is still space junk.

Another boring trip to Mars.

by scott29 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Nov 09 '00
Pros: One exciting sequence involving an explosion, and two exciting things about Carrie Anne.
Cons: Kilmer sleepwalks, the script is lethargic and the Mars concept is wasted.
OK, exactly what is it about the whole "Let's go to Mars" premise that filmmakers don't understand? Surely the concept of landing humans on the surface of this angriest of planets could make up at least one entertaining movie....

Very Few Signs of Life on This Red Planet

by Montepenny Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Apr 26 '01
Pros: The robot is pretty cool.
Cons: Everything else really isn't.
Not a sound. Not a warning. Not a chance. Not alone.

Not very good, either.

As far as movies about Mars go, this was the best one of 2000. Although, considering Mission to Mars was this film's only competition,...

RED PLANET: In 2075 colonists on Mars will get a good laugh from this one

by Ed.Williamson Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Apr 11 '01
Pros: Carrie Ann and Val.
Cons: The Plot.
I suspect that Carrie Ann Moss and Val Kilmer looked at each other after this film was over, had a good laugh together, and said, "If we ever make another movie like that one, just put us in a rocket and shoot us off into space somewhere forever and...

Red Planet

I read Red Planet last year and was quite pleased with the hard science fiction technology throughout it, no more soft sci-fi fantasy bologna,...

Val Kilmer Vs. The Angry Kitty

by The_Wood Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 12 '00
Pros: Val Kilmer, The Evil Kitty, No Gary Sinise In Sight!
Cons: No Nudity! Carrie-Anne Moss Is A Damn Tease!
Boy oh boy, Hollywood sure doesn't like Mars. Has there ever been a movie made that represented the red planet in a positive way? I don't think so. Every movie I've ever seen shows it as being a true hell hole. Nothing good can happen on Mars. You...

RED PLANET MARS - WE NEED AIR TO BREATHE!

by JAGUARDOG Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Nov 16 '00
Pros: VAL KILMER & CARRIE-ANN MOSS
Cons: NOT MUCH IN THE SPECIAL EFFECTS DEPARTMENT
I saw “RED PLANET” today at my favorite AMC 24 Theater. I had 5 Movies that are on my to see or maybe to see list and decided on this one. Of my 5 choices I chose Red Planet for a few different reasons. First I live Sci-Fi Movies the most of any...

"HELLO? We're the guys on Mars!"

by artbyjude Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 15 '01
Pros: Special effects, interesting story, Kilmer, Bratt, Amee, and Stamp
Cons: Fuzzy science, chauvinistic, extremely contrived plot details, and what happened to the MATRIX girl?
I waited awhile to see this movie because after the MISSION TO MARS I didn't think my heart could take it. Since it was released AFTER the flop of the MISSION TO MARS,((05/2000) it didn't have much of a chance to catch the imagination of any audience....

Is There a Mars Curse?

by SusanGranger Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Nov 04 '00
Pros: Sci-fi concept of Mars colonization and a few mildly interesting visual effects
Cons: Script, direction, acting, and lack of entertainment value
There were two competitive Mars exploration pictures planned for 2000: the dreadful "Mission to Mars" and "Red Planet." When the first tanked at the box-office, the second looked more promising. Wrong!

This...

Dead Planet

by jeffdaddy , Nov 12 '00
Pros: Good look, great robot.
Cons: Once it hits the planet -- boring.
The second Mars movie to be released in 2000, Red Planet comes after last spring’s sappy but intriguing Mission to Mars. And while this latest flick eschews Mission’s excessive sentimentality, it woefully does the same in regards to...
