Surprisingly incoherent and boring

Simply A Masterpiece

A different way of telling a story

The acting in this movie is really good.

I wasted 15 minutes on this glory infested rubbish.Twice!Personally I could not get past the first half of the first episode. Like, when was something going to happen?Elon Musk can do what he wants with his money, but I wan/t no more to do with this.Was this some kind of flash advert?

I really don't know what to say about it. I really was in thrill to see this, looked really good, pseudo-documentary style mixed with dramatization in future, great ideas, even Elon Musk is here :-)But that's it; instead of good sci-fi futuristic show, I've got babbling idiots (still better than teams in Prometheus, Martian and Covenant), professionals who say basic stuff, non-professional behaviour, odd interviews and messages...For the Dawkins sake, they're meant to be professionals! So why on interviews they are responding like people in "Big brother show" if asked whom to remove from villa? Camera-work is its part for itself; mix of real shots from SpaceX missions with dramatized is a great idea, but... that is not the thing helps show to be great. Because it is the only thing trying to do it so. Otherwise, it's space-opera's-like extreme closeup shows, long shots to eyes, long shots to nearly crying faces... If you want A GREAT example how to do sadness, bitterness, just check Interstellar, when the main guy hears about his daughter as if she's in the same age like him when he left. That was heartbreaking, greatly played. Because the characters were real, as if they can be (praise the Nolan), here -- characters are fairly fine (as characters and people, not scientists), but their inter-person chemistry simply doesn't work properly, so any of artificial-added drama doesn't work, because people don't interact realistically. And that is sad, because it could be a great show, only if they didn't want to make another soap-opera in space :-/

I'll just cut to the chase, this is one of the WORST of television I've ever seen. It's like the Western version of those ridiculous Bollywood movies people laugh about. About 99% of the fictitious story consists of overused, disgusting, cringe-inducing cliché scenes. And I'm not even exaggerating. There is almost like 0% originality in the dialogues or minor events happening. Honestly, I'm not exaggerating, I'm actually shocked, how can a non-mentally- handicapped team of writers come up with a script where every single sentence is extremely banal and cringe-worthy. Of course, there are a few positive things such as the non- fictitious parts with the actual science and interviews, as well as the CGI. Except for some scenes when they film Mars on Earth and it looks absolutely fake and non-believable. If you don't know how to mimic lower gravity, at least slow down the play speed of those scenes so that it doesn't look like lost hikers in a cave.But generally, every single moment of the 2033 made me cringe. I actually think Neil Breen movies are better written and directed in the sense of actor play. The actors kinda sucked, but it wasn't that bad, except for the Asian lady who just annoyed the hell out of me with her fake and stupid slow-talking, and whining about her cliché emotions. Hello, no one cares about a new, undeveloped, unlikable, annoying character's banal feelings towards her sister.Don't let lazy interns write your script and make your series.I really could't watch this without a strong unease, but try and see how it is if you can handle it.

I love the idea of the story jumping between 2016 and 2033 to see the now and the future, but I find it sad that the Mars Mission crew plays out like a soap opera.When people are asked important questions, they always hesitate to give the answer and have to be asked twice. A professional crew would never behave in this way. This happens on board the ship and at Mission Control.A lot of people high up in the chain of command ask questions that they already know the answer to, otherwise they wouldn't be so high up in the chain of command. That is why I think it plays out like soap opera. They try to create tension in the story via the dialogue and not via the events.What really makes it hard for me to watch, is how the crew communicated to Mission Control through cryptic messages delivered by a crew member who is literally trying to climb through the web cam and talks as if she is entering a log in her private diary, while actually addressing some 2nd level operating officer back at Mission Control instead of talking directly to her superiors in charge.None of this would happen on a real mission, and don't get me started on the Mission captain refusing medical attention!Because when you're on Mars the best way to deal with a catastrophic situation, is to hide it and pretend it is not happening. Please!
