Cosas divertidas

Trivialidades:
The opening sequence (the view of earth from space) was borrowed from Contact (1997), only the images were mirrored. There is no point in space from which the earth can be seen this way. más
Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the clifftop scene, Santen's facemask clearly shows a reflection of a blue sky with fluffy clouds above the "Martian" landscape. más
Quotes:
[first lines]
Commander Kate Bowman: [narration] By the year 2000 we had begun to over populate, pollute, and poison our planet faster than we could clean it up. We ignored the problem for as long as we could. But we were kidding ourselves. By 2025, we knew we were in trouble. And began to desperately search for a new home - Mars.
Commander Kate Bowman: For the last 20 years we've been sending unmanned probes with algae, bio-engineered to grow there and produce oxygen. We're going to build ourselves an atmosphere we can breathe. And for 20 years it seemed to worked. It looked like we pulled it off. We'd done it. Then all of a sudden, oxygen levels started to drop. We don't know why.

Bad Planet, 14 November 2000

Author: Reload-3 de St. Louis

It is amazing just how awful a film can be. But Red Planet does just about everything in it's power to make sure your intelligence is insulted and your emotions left untouched.

This is one of those movies that seem to be made up as they went along. Characters come and go haphazardly, they say things that make no contextual sense. They'll react to someone someone else says in inappropriate ways. The director will throw in psuedo-flashbacks to try and justify what is about to occur, even though they are obviously just extensions of previous scenes.

Imagine a Val walking into a room and surprised by a naked Carrie-Anne. After a bizarre exchange of words, Val walks back out the same door. Clearly they had him walk in only to do the scene... he was never doing anything there. It's so obvious you just have to laugh.

When people die, you don't care. Their deaths make no sense. The relationships between the characters are not merely forced they are basically written on their foreheads because neither the writers nor the director had any clue how to make them apparent any other way.

As for the science fiction, it's basically all fiction. Granted, it's a movie. But the laws of physics are pretty well documented. Nothing makes sense. Solar power that works in the dark. Solar flares that tear ships apart. The inability of scientists to ever DO any science.

The worst, in my view, is an absurd plot device where a scout robot has a "military mode" that turns it into a psycho killer at a flip of a switch (literally). Why, in the name of all that is sane, would such a thing exist!? You know instantly when they show you this switch what is going to happen. And when it does, only the characters seem the least bit surprised...certainly not the audience. But then it goes on to attack in ways that defy logic. It could clearly wipe them all out, but instead decides to wound them to "slow them down." Could this have possibly made sense to those writing it?

There is no skill whatsoever in this film making. It is as bad as Mission to Mars. Which means, of course, if you liked that movie you'll like this one. It has the same lack of intensity, logic, common sense and characters. But at least the whole premise is equally absurd. You'll be glad to know, though, that at least none of the inane lines in this movie are as bad as M2M's "They are us, we are them!" Small blessings.
