Red Planet Review
by Ram Samudrala
/Red Planet/ is a lot better than its counterpart, /Mission to Mars/, since it doesn't delve into some new-age theory of human origin to sustain a level of suspense and action. more

The Mars jinx continues. First, Tim Burton fired off an empty shell with MARS ATTACKS, a film that managed to have a little fun with itself via the goofy-looking alien creatures, but very little else. Earlier this year, many of us experienced the...more

Red Planet Review

I love how Hollywood works. When a film about a particular subject or thing comes out there always seems to be another one about just that same thing on the heels of it. For example look at Speed and Blown Away (mad bombers), Antz and A Bug's Life...more

Red Planet Review
by Michael Dequina
From Christopher Columbus to Wyatt Earp to Steve Prefontaine to the lambada (!), the track record for dueling Hollywood projects on the same subject has been less than stellar. With Warner Bros.' release of the second--and worst--of the year's Mars...more

Red Planet Review
by Steve Rhodes
Is there life on Mars? Even after the inert actors in Antony Hoffman's RED PLANET make their journey there, the count of life forms still appears to be about zip. With an arid landscape that is the spitting image of Utah, the tedious movie is about...more

Red Planet Review
by Ross Anthony
It's big, it's round, it's red ... Mars. It's big, it's exciting, it's got thunderous seat-shaking bass, a frisky dangerous robot, some dazzling special effects and a script freakishly devoid of life ... "Red Planet." more

Red Planet Review
by Jon Popick
When 2000 dawned, it looked like we’d have dueling Mars films, kind of similar to the two films about computer-generated ants we had back in 1998, or the battling volcano pictures from 1997. Like those other movies, the Mars films were originally...more
