Red Planet (2000)
Sci-Fi | Action | Thriller

Not a sound. Not a warning. Not a chance. Not alone.

Mission Commander Kate Bowman (Carrie-Anne Moss) is the pilot and commander of the most important mission of the 21st century: saving the human race.

It’s 2050, Earth is dying, and colonizing Mars is the only alternative to obliteration. Bowman and her crew have made this journey to investigate what went wrong with the malfunctioning Mars Terraforming project, and to repair it. But what happens when they get there is far more terrifying than anyone could have guessed: a crash-landing leaves them without scientific, communication or escape equipment; and causes their military mapping and exploration robot to malfunction into an enemy.

But as the landing team explores the harsh new planet desperately seeking a way out, they make the most baffling discovery of them all: Mars may be barren, but it’s not uninhabited.

User Comment: Damon Schoonover Dallas, Texas • Okay, I understand why movie critics may have not liked this film. After all, they probably don't understand the underlying science for every part of this movie. They haven't read Robert Zubrin's "A Case for Mars," they haven't read some of the classic works in the field of colonization and terraforming, and they have little love for 'science fiction' movies in general. But for those of us that have put for than a sound bite's worth of thought into the subject of manned mission to Mars, Jupiter and the outer planets, this movie is an almost wish come true.

Summary: Wow!
