Description:
Houston, we have a very big problem! In the mid-21st century, the nations of a dying Earth look starward for a solution and set out to colonize Mars. But something no one could have expected awaits this latest mission to the Red Planet. Because Mars may be barren but it's not uninhabited.

In Red Planet, the only thing thicker than the Martian atmosphere (which is breathable, by the way) is the layer of clichés that nearly smothers a formulaic beat-the-clock plot. Science fiction fans are sure to be forgiving, however, because the film is reasonably intelligent, boasts a few dazzling sequences, and presents fascinating technology in the year 2057. We don't know how the Mars-1 spaceship gets to Mars in only six months (newfangled propulsion, no doubt), but we do get some cool diagnostic readouts on tinfoil scrolls, an abundance of well-designed hardware, and a service-robot-turned-villain that's a high-tech hybrid of RoboCop, Bruce Lee, and a slinky panther with plenty of lethal attitude.
The oxygen in the Martian atmosphere has resulted from nascent efforts of terraforming, made necessary by Earth's overpolluted condition. Mars-1 has been dispatched to determine why the terraforming is failing, and upon arrival everything goes inevitably haywire. Nearly two hours, three deaths, and multiple crises later (including the discovery of a Martian life form), "space janitor" Val Kilmer and his ultracompetent commander (Carrie-Anne Moss from The Matrix) have collaborated to set things right, capped off by second dose of the wretched narration that bookends the movie. Hoary material, to be sure, and as a veteran of TV commercials making his feature debut, director Anthony Hoffman is clearly more comfortable with flashy visuals than depth of character. Still, he keeps things humming right along. A perfectly suitable companion to another 2000 sci-fi thriller, Pitch Black, Red Planet is a fine way to kill a couple of hours. --Jeff Shannon

I saw the last part of this flick on the tube and was surprised at how good it was. I agree with most of reviews that it lack character development, scientific accuracy, etc but it was a tech geek's dream. The killer cat robot was inspired. If you think it was too far in the future check out

If you like hardware this flick has some real eye candy.

I just saw this for the first time on HBO and I found it a pretty decent movie. I remember wanting to see it when it came out eight years ago but the bad reviews kept me away. I think it ages well though. It is extremely light weight entertainment which makes it fit for a Sunday afternoon baseball rain delay. When I was a boy the local station showed the movie Robinson Crusoe on Mars on Saturday and Sunday for what seemed like every weekend of my youth, and I watched it every time. This movie ...

The Red Planet DVD
The Red Planet is a science fiction movie based on the premise that mankind has polluted earth so much humans have to relocate to another planet. Mars seems handy. Cdr. Bowman (Carrie-Anne Moss) leads an expedition to test Mars sustainability as Humankind's new home. Val Kilmer, also stars.
All-in-all a pretty good science fiction film. I recommend it. Recommended for fans of Science Fiction, Carrie-Anne Moss, and Val Kilmer. I thought it appropriate ... Read More

This is a good sci-fi for anyone with a love for Mars. Yes, it may be a bit far fetched...but isn't that the whole idea behind sci-fi? The characaters could have been developed more, but overall I thought the casting was done well.
A bit rushed towards the mid-end, but then the ending makes up for the rush.

Red Planet has flaws (many of the plot twists are fairly predictable, some of the science is screwy), but overall is a pretty good value pick. Kilmer's wise-cracking "space janitor" is a character we can care about, Sizemore provides good counterpoint, and Moss is an eyeful. The problem-solving aspects of the plot lift it above the morass of most sci-fi; the characters actually use math and old Mars probes to try and save themselves, and ANY movie that features realistic, scientific approaches to solving ...
