Summary: All That Money and For What?????
Review: I heard about the millions it took to make this movie.I know the talent involved and after watching the movie, I just want to know why? This was a regular tv movie that cost too much and was a waste of talent and theories.

Summary: Mission to rent this movie, not buy
Review: I pondered and pondered whether to purchase this DVD, and so to resolve that decision I rented to see if indeed it was something that I might like to buy. It has a nice cast toplines by Gary Sinese (sp?) and Tim Robbins, and an interesting premise based on the factually based"face on Mars" debate, but overall it seems to be lacking in any real driving energy. For years now, ever since the image of a face appearted on probe fly-by pictures, there has been debate as to the possibility of life on Mars. Sceptics have prescribed the image to a trick of light, but believers have "proved" with the use of computers that light would have no effect. Taking this real life event as its basis, we are propelled into the none to distant future when something goes terribly wrong for a manned mission to the red planet. A second team is sent to discover precosely what happened and it is their journey of exploration and life changing experiences that we follow. Characters in this movie are well rounded and direction seems quite solid from Brian De Palma, but it has a feeling of flat and uninspired spectacle, in which the real stars of the show are meant to be the special effects and expansive vistas of the Martian landscape. If this is your kind of ticket then you may enjoy this show, but I found myself stopping it occassionallu to do more interesting things like washing the dishes and calling the temperature time clock (well not really, but almost). Some redemption comes in the shape of the supplemental material where we are treated to an informative documentary and a quite engaging audio commentary. Worth a rental in my opinion.

Summary: Poor acting and script waste the high budget and great FX
Review: Unbelievably dull film thanks to poor performances all round. Its hard to say if the actors are terrible or were just given such poor scripts that they gave up before they started.Some very good special effects show that a large budget was wasted here. Check out SuperNova for a great alternative to this film. Make sure you see the DVD as it has the REAL ending (under "Deleted Scenes") which is a real shocker.

Summary: Worth adding to you collection
Review: The script could have been better and at times the pace of the movie is slow but overall this is a highly enjoyable sci-fi movie. If your DVD collection includes the Matrix, 13th Floor, Starship Trooper etc. you will want to pick this up. Interesting extras on the DVD and really not as bad as people have made it out to be. Worth the investment for the special effects alone (if you like that kind of thing).

Summary: Misson to mars is a misson that unfortunately fails.
Review: This $75 millon dollar lackluster film about a misson to the red planet fails in every concivable way, with talented actors like Gary Senise and Tim Robbins and a true cinimatic master like Brian De Palma you figure how could it.We begin in the not so distant future a group of astronauts shooting the breeze and concearned about there misson to mars it's likely will go alright but some worrys among them but when a first misson leads it's crew to being pathetically stranded on the red planet a second crew is called in to rescue them little do they no that this trip will lead them into something far greater then just a rescue , it will be an expidition to uncover the inner most secrets of human origins and the all powerful secret of mars.It's just a question of what it will cost and weither what they find will cost them there lives badly written and overproduced this film is just a recycled sci fi movie with little or nothing to bring to genere and that makes this entirely to rediculous because you have seen it before.

Summary: it isn't that bad.
Review: I found this film to be quite watchable and the time seemed to pass quickly, except for a slow begining. There are some plot problems and not always the best acting. But it is a interesting what if? movie. The martian landscape was awsome as was some of the effects. Apart from being a little to upbeat for the ending I did enjoy it. It is questionable if the rewatch value is there, so you may want to consider that if you are thinking of buying it.

Summary: Decent movie, but an even better DVD.
Review: First off, I must agree with some reviewers who didn't like many aspects of this movie, but I won't get into what I didn't like, even though it's a short list. I only have some minor beefs with the use of music in certain scenes and a couple of wierd points in the story. Overall I really enjoyed this film and was captivated by some of the amazing visuals. Which brings me to the DVD. The disc I got comes with both the English and French versions. Hey I live in Canada, got to keep those Quebecors happy I guess. This disc has some really nice addons, which to me earns it a five star rating. I would actually give it four and a half if I could, but regardless, its still a cool DVD. I really like the documentary of the production. It mainly talks about how all the various effects shots were done, which is what I was very interested in. In this aspect it doesn't disappoint. There are some neat DVD-Rom features as well, if you happen to have a dvd player for your computer. Also included are a series of production stills which I thought were well laid out and neat to look at, and a look at certain scenes from the original storyboards, to final take. I definetly recommend this dvd. Even if you didn't think the movie was that great, you have to admire the special effects involved with this film, and the DVD definetly sheds some light on actually how difficult and impressive they were to complete.
