  • What is this movie

    I’m so confused by this movie. During so many of the life and death scenes people stand around or just move so slowly. In the beginning when the dust starts to make a big dusk snake that is coming straight for people they just stand there waiting. In the ship when they start to lose oxygen they move at a snails pace to fix it. The one guy gets in front of the hole with a repair kit and takes so long to patch it up. There is also the music. When someone dies it’s this upbeat not somber music. It plays something you would not play when something so bad happened. When they get on mars the first thing they do is plant a flag instead of looking straight away for the missing team. I don’t normally nitpick movies but this was awful and just so bad.

    It’s interesting, and as a sci-fi fan it’s not totally awful. There are some good ideas, and some parts of the story moves too fast. But, my biggest gripe is the soundtrack. I don’t know if the people saying it was good are joking. The scene from the ship mid move sounds like a synthesizer and an organ. It’s supposed to be a tense moment, but the music at times is distractingly bad.

    I love this film. One of the most positive and interesting sci-fi movies. I guess you either love it or hate it – doesn’t seem to be any in between.

  • Great movie! Looking for it for years!

    Special effects are just incredible! This is one of the best space exploration filsm I have seen, that does not sensationalize anything. Accuracy of science is not the key focus, but within tolerence. The storyline was great, I've never and probably will not see another movie like this one.

    This movie is wonderful! I love the imagery of the lost mother meets her long awaited children. There were a few parts that i thought could have been done slightly better, but not very much. This is one of the greatest movies i've seen. So, watch it if you havn't seen it or watch it again if you have!!! :)

    This movie was fantastic. Everyone stop complaining about the damn "point of no return" sequence. If this scene was not in the film, you "intelligent" folk probably wouldn't have understood it. And MisterChristian just doesn't like it cause aliens were not in the bible. Tim Robbins is cooler than Don Cheadle....hes alright too though. You guys need to keep watching "little man" and stop judging great films.

    The band jams out while the married space couples frolic in the ship... Give me a friggin break. Just listen to the music playing while the spaceship is losing oxygen (and the computer is gasping for breath). That's the $100 soundtrack budget right there. Look at the cover. He's reaching for your dignity. Don't let him take it away... :(
