Red Planet (2000)
1/10
One of the worst sci-fi ever
4 March 2008
Seduced by the flashy, brilliantly edited trailers and very promising cast, I went to the cinema to see the red planet with great expectations. What a boring 106 minutes it was.

The Red Planet is a mission mars movie, yet there is no aliens, no mystery, no high profile action, not a huge destruction of any sort. The entire movie is based on a dog shaped robot which runs berserk and why he did, don't ask me.

Man, this is supposed to be a sci-fi, not a documentary film about a misfortuned mars expedition. The highlight of the movie is the innumerous swarming small insects which is the only alien species in the whole movie. From the very beginning the movie is full of long cloggy dialogs and pointless conversations which leads nowhere. Men die one after another in despair, either running out of air or succumbed to a wound by the "natural causes".

To the end of the movie, you expect a surprising twist or some sort of action which never actually comes.

If you happen to go to the hall to see the movie, bring along your pillow and pijamas. You will be cursing yourself if you hire or buy the red planet. 1 out of 10 just for the sake of Val Kilmer, Moss and Seizemore.
