Mission To Mars

This cast was amazing (Gary Sinise, Tim Robbins, Connie Nielsen, and Jerry O'Connell - who gave the movie its comedic moments). For those of you tired of the usual scary alien movies with ugly or virus like little green men, this will give you something so much better. I really enjoyed this movie since I obviously bought it on DVD - twice. LOL. Wanted to be sure I had my science fiction fix without the same 0 same 0.

Loved the movie.

This was a good video.

Great movie, I've always loved this movie, it fascinates & entertains me, great picture & sound quality, another great addition to my dvd collection. Thanks!

This is a movie that I originally bought on VCR. It’s an excellent movie for a really good price on Amazon prime.

"MISSION TO MARS" begins in 2020 with the introduction of all the crew members and their families at a farewell celebration before the launch of NASA's Mars One spaceship. The Mars Two will launch a year later and relieve the first team. We'll get to know all the members and their backgrounds so we can sympathize as they die horrible and agonizing deaths. Sound exciting, right? Well you be the judge. The first team lands safely and the Martian landscape looks pretty convincing so after about a year of chipping away at rocks and probing our scientists finally have to investigate a strange looking object at the peak of a mountain. They point a radar at the thing and boost the power, they shouldn't had done that. All kinds of bad things begin to happen. Turns out the Martians left the security system on. A grainy static frizzy message is bounced off a Martian satellite to Earth for help and the Mars Two team has to rush and prepare a rescue mission. The weird thing is the ship is renamed the "Mars Recovery". Which I'm to understand means you're too late for a live rescue and it's now considered a recovery. You know,like in recovering bodies. Anyway, our heroes back on Earth take off to Mars and wouldn't you just know it, minutes before orbital insertion freaking meteoroids, pebbles in space that's going to really screw up the paint job on your new rocket ship. The good news is it's still under the sixty five million mile warranty. Bad news is they fix most of the holes except the most important one on an external fuel line and blow their ship up. Don't give up hope, after a major sacrifice and we go through the sad scene, we find most of our guys safely down on Mars. The wife of the poor guy that sacrificed himself seems to have recovered and she's okay now. If we learn anything from this movie it's that husband and wife teams are not a good idea on long trips in space or in my case the mall. They find the sole survivor and repair the Mars One ship but before they return to Earth they have to tempt fate once more and go poking around that old Martian relic. They figure out the message left by the ancient people and are shown the secrets of creation. Turns out Creationists and Big Bang Evolution theorists were both wrong and we lose another astronaut. Well not so much as lose but he doesn't go back to Earth. He was pouting all through the movie anyway because his wife became ill and died while they were training at NASA for the first Mars' mission, blah, blah, blah. Okay, I'm a huge fan of just about anything to do with Mars so I'm going to give this movie four stars just for the background and effects. I think it's worth a look. I also recomend "Red Planet" offered here on AMAZON at a great price and you don't even have to leave home to buy it. Please be kind to animals and report any abuse. Remember, without people the world would be a much better place, so do something. Thanks, Goodcat S.C. Red Planet [Blu-ray ] Hey look at that, they inserted a "Red Planet" product link right here on my review. That's so cool.

This was a very good Sci Fi adventure that encompasses what could possibly go wrong if there is an alien presence on Mars. To enjoy this you only need a tiny bit of disbelief as the rest is a well thought out journey to Mars. A fun thrill ride for all ages!!!

Looking for something fun to watch.

The DVD is a good widescreen transfer (bars top and bottom), good clear picture and sound and English subtitles. Director Brian de Palma seems to have had as many failures as successes, and I feel this one falls in between the 2 categories. Some good SFX (the sets are marvellous), the acting is good, but only as good as a somewhat weak script allows. There are no horrors or gore, but quite a few "moments" that make the film a worthwhile watch. (P.S Check out Gary Sinise's makeup towards the end). Plenty of extras for those who enjoy info on the making of the film. Yes, I think I can recomend the film particularly to SciFi fans.

This is one of my favourite science fiction films. It has action, adventure and sadness. Sometimes things go wrong for the characters and things don't always turn out as you might hope or expect for them. Some of the science is good and some appalling but at the end of the day it's a film, family entertainment. The story works well for the most part but there is section about in the middle that's clunky and not realistic in anyone's book or film, at least in my opinion. 'Course if you're looking for 'The Right Stuff' or something that isn't science fiction then this isn't the film for you.

I've always liked this film and remember seeing the set models at Disneyland, Florida shortly after its release and wanted to upgrade my DVD copy to Blu-ray resolution. This is not quite 1080p but definitely better than DVD and well worth the upgrade. Both English and French languages offered but English option enables the French subtitles. If however like me you have DVDFab from http://www.dvdfab.cn/ then this is not a problem as you can rip the video and English audio in 5.1 and discard the French subtitles. Works a treat.

A very beautiful sci-fi movie and one that I really love since I saw it for the first time on TV years ago. So I did not lost the occasion to added to my movie collection. It arrived quicker than predicted and expected and very good condition.

Love this Movie , it has some great moments and is one of the more believable sci-fi space films out there. Couldn't find it on Blu-Ray but well worth the money for a DVDs (price of a sandwich ) . Don't get me wrong I love a good Alien nasty jumping out of someone's chest or a Scottish Engineer telling the captain that " he canny fix the nay cells" but I liked the change of pace this film brings.
