| Mission to Mars Review |
| by Jerry Saravia (Rating: 1.5/4) |
| Firstly, Brian De Palma has aped Hitchcock in most of his work, and done it with
real style and pizazz. Sometimes his work turned to other corners of
inspiration, like his homage to Eisenstein's "Potemkin" in "The Untouchables."
Then there were his early...more |

| There's a world of difference between artists and technicians. The
artist has a vision to create something new. He may not do it well, it
might be sloppy, but it's something you've never seen before. A good
technician can make it look good, but without...more |

| It has become traditional with every new Brian De Palma film to
tut-tut about how it's not up to his usual standard. Which brings to
mind the question: Exactly what is De Palma's usual standard? "Snake
Eyes"? "Bonfire of the Vanities"? Now to build...more |

| It probably wasn't quite like that, but I shudder to think that people
with the intelligence to tie their own shoelaces might actually have sat
down and thought this thing through. However Mission To Mars made it to
the screen, the result is a film which...more |

| After making "Mission: Impossible", Brian De Palma has a lot to live up to.
By making an epic science fiction and inviting great cast and talented crew,
he hopes to reach the modern audience. And the possibilities are certainly
there, but the result is a...more |

caliber actors, Mission To Mars ends up throwing a whiffleball.
Fiercely unoriginal, Director DePalma cobbles together a film by
