    Watched Red Planet, one of two Mars movies from 2000, the other being Mission to Mars. They’d make a great double feature. There’s interesting ideas in this (terraforming, alien life, killer robots, survivalism), and in the end it’s a pretty fun movie. I’m quite nostalgic for early 00s films.

    I've lived in NY or London all my adult life, I work in the theatre & film, I'm not afraid of famous people. I saw Buzz Aldrin in public - he was wearing a MISSION TO MARS t-shirt & red braces - I stopped cold. Michael Collins liked one of RN's tweets about him once. That was maybe better?

    I can see why I didn't remember anything about this movie. It's not terrible, but it's not remarkable either. I mixed it up with Mission to Mars and Red Planet. I think Mission to Mars (Brian De Palma in space!) is the one I liked, despite its unpopularity. #FrightClub

    In other nostalgic news, it was 25 years ago this week that I started my first full-time position as a film critic, for Time Out New York. Reviewed in that issue: ERIN BROCKOVICH, which I liked, and MISSION TO MARS, which I decidedly did not.

    So I’m writing up Mission to Mars, a movie that’s been so memory holed I’m sure people have forgotten it. It was a super safe PG rated movie about Mars with Gary Sinise and Tim Robbins in the lead. Now you’re already asking who the hell this movie was for? Let me drag this out another post.

    I will say that while I mock De Palma on Mission to Mars, I get why he was hired. He was coming off Mission Impossible (which actually was a him film). He was also a guy you brought in on a troubled film. If you read The Devil’s Candy, the studio is lost running the film and he does his best.

    Brian De Palma's MISSION TO MARS would make a great double feature with Ridley Scott's PROMETHEUS because both movies are doing the same thing but (weird for him) De Palma's movie argues humanity is a miracle full of grace and Ridley argues that humanity sucks and deserves extinction.

    In the movie Mission to Mars, they have Tim Robbins' character show up at a barbecue in an old gasoline powered car, explictly pointing out how much he, and his car, are from an earlier era. That movie was set in 2025, so they are just a few decades off...

    I stuck it out waiting for something to happen. Everything played out like a cheap TV movie with some ugly heavily choreographed scenes. And the soundtrack. Jeez. It's on a par with Ennio Morricone's "Mission to Mars" soundtrack - probably good on its own, but does not fit the film at all.

    Fair enough. And to be fair, Ghost of Mars isn't the worst Mars film of its time. That would be Red Planet. And Mission to Mars isn't much better, though I find it the least shitty of the 3. But Ghost Of Mars is the one I've seen the most since it does hit the "so bad it's good" sweet spot.
