Mission To Mars Reviews
Worse than Star Trek V
This movie has surpassed Star Trek V as "worst film ever made." Every character in it had an IQ of 3 and trying to watch it was the most frustrating experience I've ever had.
It could have been just a bit better if the writers had bothered to do any research at all into space travel or physics or science.
I'm not an astronaut, but I am a SCUBA diver, and there are some pretty basic survival rules that I'm sure apply to astronauts as well, only more-so. These would be things like:
1 - No alchohol or smoking 24 hours before a dive (or in this case before LAUNCHING TO ANOTHER PLANET);
2 - Always stay with your buddy;
3 - If you're in a space ship that is losing air due to a hull breach, PUT ON YOUR HELMET instead of just saying, "Nah, I'm fine, I can stick it out."
Then there are the scientific discrepancies. Such as: it's a know fact that a person can survive in a vacuum for 30 seconds to a couple of minutes, and basically just dies of asphyxiation. They are not going to instantly freeze into a popsicle.
According to this movie, there is no such thing as momentum or intertia. An astronaut going EVA turned off the jets on her space suit in order to save fuel, and STOPPED MOVING because the jets stopped firing. But meanwhile, the guy she was trying to follow who had RUN OUT OF FUEL kept moving. In one case, she breaks the laws of physics, but in the other, the movie isn't even consistent with how it breaks those laws.
Further, I find it highly unlikely that a manned mission to Mars would almost never be in contact with Mission Control. They would more likely be in continuous contact.
I stuck it out and watched the movie all the way to the end hoping for a good pay-off, but I was sorely disappointed. It was not worth my time or money or thought.
I could go on and on, but this movie is basically a cheezy B-film that tries to rip-off much better films, but fails miserably. You'd be much better off watching the originals: Contact or 2001. In fact, even Silent Running is better!
How De Palma "explains" the origins of life.
One of the most stupid Sci-Fi flick I've ever seen. Especially the epilogue, where the Great Question about the origin of life on Earth is finally "revealed"! So, Brian, could you please then answer my question? If life on Earth was triggered by your Martians'DNA, how did it started on Mars?
