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...
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...
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...
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...
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....
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...
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...
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...
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....
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!
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...
In the near future, Earth is dying. A new colony on Mars could be humanity's only hope. A team of American astronauts, each a specialist in a differen...More at HotMovieSale.com
