RED PLANET

[MrFurious]

I like the look of this movie even though it got a hammering on release from critics its us the true movie fans whose views i'm after,so whats it like? :D

I will keep this brief!.
I just watched it today and i enjoyed it.
It is not a deep or heavy movie, so you can just sit down and enjoy the show!.
I had heard nothing about it so just rented it on dvd on impulse.
Good surround effects and zero mpeg artifacts.
A "popcorn" movie but thats what i wanted!.

[Stuart Wright]

You asked, so...
Complete rubbish. Terrible, contrived plot, passable effects, but not even worth renting IMO.

Could it possibly be worse tham Mission to mars?

[The Taskmaster]

It's far better than Mission to Mars. Yes, it's contrived, but what do you expect?

[General Skanky]

I was the same as you Furious, I bought it and my reaction was so so.
I can see why people hate it. But at the same time it's watchable 'popcorn' stuff as stated.
Just don't expect a good film, but it's ok. I am 50/50 about it.

As you can see, my fence sitting stance is first class.

[MrFurious]

I did enjoy watching it,picture and sound were top class on dvd,i love sci-fi movies with gadgets in and this movie had its fair share.

Received it and watched it yesterday.

I thought the effects were on par with the type of film that it was, but the acting left a little to be desired, except for Tom Sizemore who seems to bring something to each movie that he is in. Each actor just seemed to be a little uninspired in my opinion, as if they would rather be doing something else. However, the film moved at a reasonable pace, but in my opinion, they could have left out the 'flashback' sequences. I was left feeling a little unsatisfied at the end - an anticlimax I thought.
What annoyed me the most was the lack of features on the disk. I was at least hoping for a decent 'making of' or a 'behind the scenes'.
Also, an important point to note is the fact that the release carries a BBFC 12 rating, yet at the end of the film, Mr Kilmer give the plant a middle finger and can be very clearly heard to say "F**k you planet !"
I'm no prude, but I don't thin I'd be too happy with my kids seeing/hearing that if they were 12 ..

Overall 6/10 for film
4/10 disk ...

Fulabeer has it spot on, not the worlds most intelligent movie, but it was good fun, kept me busy.....and I know i will watch it again! A well spent £10!

I thought it was great. LOADS of gadgets and it all looks hugely techy. MtM looks crude and more Nasa-like in comparison. A great adventure romp set in space.
