I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Red Planet came out when there was a rush for Mars films(there was also De Palma's Mission to Mars released the same year). This is a decent film featuring some good actors and fine special effect but the plot is bare. A group of scientists head to the red planet and something goes awfully wrong and they are stranded. Then it is a matter of time and life and death. I won't spoil anything for you but this is one of those in flight movie type of films that you watch and forget. Not bad- just average. (Decent science fiction adventure).

Right from the the getgo this movie was & turned to worse. Tom Sizemore & Simon Baker could not act if their lives depended on it. The director should be embarrassed. not worth hiring. I bet the producer never got a good return on their money. I think Val Kilmar & Kerrie anne Moss lowered them selves on this 1

The second of the Mars based box office bombs released in 2000, Red Planet is maybe - just maybe - worth a revisit by some who were irritated by it back on first viewing. Once knowing that this is not going to be some action packed alien movie, that it's a survivalist drama that tips its hat to 1950s sci-fi schlock, that cares about its characters, then there's a decent popcorner experience to be had here. This is not to say it's a genius entry in the sci-fi pantheon, because it's not, the same problems still exist; Terence Stamp is woefully under used (seriously they could have got any low paid character actor to play his role), some things either don't make sense or are left unanswered, and of course it still drags in the middle as the boys chatter away on Mars whilst Carrie Anne-Moss is up at base station fretting and suffering erectus nippleus.Yet there's fun to be had here, some nutty science marries up with nice photography and splendid set design, and the makers know what sort of picture they want to make. Where Mission to Mars sunk under the weight of its own pretensions - trying to go all elegiac and important, Red Planet nudges and winks and asks you along for the ride. So get on board and take it for what it is, a pretentious free zone with good human drama at the core. 6.5/10

Apparently, NASA itself basically disowned RED PLANET. That is, they declined to act as consultants because of the film's egregious scientific inaccuracies. I did not learn about that until after I had naively watched it for the first time. Then, when I watched for the second time, I realized how horrible the screenplay is. All of which is a shame, because there are some really nice visual effects and cinematography, and the assembled cast of actors is very good. The general story itself is not bad. In fact, it is quite compelling, but the devil is in the execution here, and the execution is less than stellar.However, in spite of all of that, I still find RED PLANET to be a rather enjoyable viewing experience. What can I say, I love stories about Mars exploration, and this one has enough for the eyes to reward the looking. The competitor/sister film MISSION TO MARS seems to have a better reputation. If nothing else, I find myself wanting more of these types of stories, and there is something to be said for that.
