Best Mars movie there is. Some unrealistic science facts.. yeah.. but also some part of it IS realistic and fun to watch, I especially like the ship design how they actually make an artificial intelligence and make it work with G-forces, oh well.

A basic tenet of scifi flicks is that they should at least get the science right. Great ones take accurate science and extrapolate to create fantastic but not improbable results. This movie can't even bother to get the genetic code right (A,G,T,P???)or to figure out that insects aren't nematodes much less be creative about life and human existence might happen on Mars.

A visionary movie of what we can expect Mars to be like if Hollywood gets there first.
raVen gave it a 6:
Too unrealistic!?!? (Newsflash: Val Kilmer isn't a real astronaut, either). It's a good little flick--sit down and eat your popcorn.

This film was too unrealistic. Algae eating bugs on Mars, please! How ridiculous.
Wobiekisser M. gave it a 5:
This is one of the worst alien/planet movies I've ever seen, yet while I was watching it something weird took place, I found myself actually having fun watching it.
