a5c7b9f00b In the near future, Earth is dying. A new colony on Mars could be humanity&#39;s only hope. A team of American astronauts, each a specialist in a different field, is making the first manned expedition to the red planet and must struggle to overcome the differences in their personalities, backgrounds and ideologies for the overall good of the mission. When their equipment suffers life-threatening damage and the crew must depend on one another for survival on the hostile surface of Mars, their doubts, fears and questions about God, man&#39;s destiny and the nature of the universe become defining elements in their fates. In this alien environment they must come face to face with their most human selves. Astronauts, and their robotic dog AMEE (Autonomous Mapping Evaluation and Evasion), search for solutions to save a dying Earth by searching on Mars, only to have the mission go terribly awry. This was definately one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I know the atmosphere was supposed to have been changed by the algae or something, but breathing on Mars? Give me a break. Also, didn&#39;t the writers know that 50+ degrees below zero is kind of cold for humans to survive, especially without a hat? I mean, their breath wasn&#39;t even steaming. The whole story was so unbelievable. Jump starting a 50 year old spaceship???? Val Kilmer was great in Tombstone, but this stunk! Red Planet is a great launchpad for Anthony Hoffman&#39;s careera director. One of the best debuts I&#39;ve seen. Also, Carrie-Ann Moss is stunning in this role and it gives her more room to exercise her talent than The Matrix did.<br/><br/>There&#39;s a lot of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the movie and both the good and bad sides are portrayed. Finally, a Hollywood director gives an optimistic look at one of the most controversial technologies of our time. The technology in the movie is pretty convincing esp. speech recognition, electronic paper and virtual presence.<br/><br/>A great job by Pixel Magic, Digital Domain, Metro Light Studios and Flash Film Works. Breath taking sceneries, the scary &quot;extinguishing&quot; scene and the pictures of Mars from orbit are simply awesome. If you like sci-fi flicks this is the one to watch. A fun movie. Not scary-fun. If you're a male over 10 years old, that should be enough.
