Product Description

From the director of MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE comes the thrilling, eye-popping science fiction adventure MISSION TO MARS -- starring Gary Sinise (SNAKE EYES) and Tim Robbins (AUSTIN POWERS: THE SPY WHO SHAGGED ME). The year is 2020, and the first manned mission to Mars, commanded by Luke Graham (Don Cheadle, OUT OF SIGHT), lands safely on the red planet. But the Martian landscape harbors a bizarre and shocking secret that leads to a mysterious disaster so catastrophic, it decimates the crew. Haunted by a cryptic last message from Graham, NASA launches the Mars Recovery Mission to investigate and bring back survivors -- if there are any. Confronted with nearly insurmountable dangers, but propelled by deep friendship, the team finally lands on Mars and makes a discovery so amazing, it takes your breath away. MISSION TO MARS is an action-packed rocket ride that will enthrall you with its stunning special effects and keep you on the edge of your seat.

Amazon.com

If Brian De Palma directed Mission to Mars for 10-year-olds who've never seen a science fiction film, he can be credited for crafting a marginally successful adventure. Isolated moments in this film serve the highest purpose of its genre, inspiring a sense of wonder and awe in the context of a fascinating future (specifically, the year 2020). But because most of us have seen a lot of science fiction films, it's impossible to ignore this one's derivative plot, cardboard characters, and drearily dumb dialogue. Despite an awesome and painstakingly authentic display of cool technology and dazzling special effects, Mission to Mars is light years away from 2001: A Space Odyssey on the scale of human intelligence.

After dispensing with a few space-jockey clichés, the movie focuses on a Mars-bound rescue mission commanded by Jim McConnell (Gary Sinise), whose team (Tim Robbins, Connie Nielsen, Jerry O'Connell) has been sent to retrieve the sole survivor (Don Cheadle) of a tragic Mars landing. During the sequence en route to Mars, De Palma's in his element with two suspenseful scenes (including a dramatic--albeit somewhat silly--space walk) that are technically impressive. But when this Mission gets to Mars, the movie grows increasingly unconvincing, finally arriving at an alien encounter that more closely resembles an astronomical CGI video game. But this is a $75 million Hollywood movie, and no amount of technical wizardry can lift the burden of a juvenile screenplay. Kudos to Sinise, his costars, and the special effects wizards for making the most of hoary material; shame on just about everyone else involved. --Jeff Shannon

4.0 out of 5 starsMission to Mars
By S. Loftin on October 28, 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
My wife was disappointed because she thought I was ordering "The Martian". After she got over that, we got into the movie. It is pretty good. No great messages, just entertaining to watch. Good special effects, and some of the plot items in this movie were recycled into "The Martian". Others were borrowed from movies like "2001". The plot was sorta incoherent, like 2001. You wonder why this alien intelligence is doing all this stuff, leaving these artifacts, clues and tests, for the astronauts to find. Don't think too hard, just enjoy the ride.

5.0 out of 5 starsAwesome view of possibilities!
By BM on January 6, 2017
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
This is a great movie for R and R. I grew up in the area where the movie began. My dad and most of my friends parents worked in and around the Aero Space field for NASA or contractors so I look space themed programming. Especially when it's not "Alien Invasion" themed! I wish there were were a sequel about the experiences of the brave soul who took up the invitation to travel. Also, too bad about the husband dying. They should have written that different so he made it!

3.0 out of 5 starsPretty Good
By Elle on August 31, 2013
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
The movie is good for a not-so-intense experience. The actors as well chosen and experienced. Like them all. Of course, the cultural mind has learned a lot since 2000 about the universe. But it's still worth watching. Interesting to see the actors so much younger. Can hardly believe it's been 13 years! The movie begins just like the "Right Stuff" with a party before take-off, typical heroic formula is employed, still, we enjoyed it. Sound, as in all the movies today, is really up and down as if you are in a theater with great sound quality instead of watching a flatscreen TV. It has that really loud music and background noise and much too soft voices, so the clicker operator (usually me) has to be on-guard to control the issue--my single most consistent complaint with movies, in general. Otherwise, I could watch it again sometime.

5.0 out of 5 starsLove Gary Sinese
By Laurel Lamorey on May 15, 2016
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Love Gary Sinese. I think for the average viewer it might run a bit slow, but that is what made this movie so good for me. Totally loved the ending. Only bad part is when the guy died floating into Mar's atmosphere. The one change I would make in the movie is I would not have killed him off. The love story should have had an happy ending. Maybe the Alien creature on Mars could have saved the astronaut unbeknownst to the others and in the end they could have been brought back together. Much happier ending. Still good movie.

3.0 out of 5 starsWritten by people who've never been married
By Mournblade14 on January 29, 2013
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Seriously, if you put a married couple in a small spaceship together for 9 months you end up with a murder-suicide at the very least. What is wrong with Connie Nielsen's character? This chick is amped up on Ecstasy for almost the entire movie - we choose these idiots (and lets face it they all are) for a critical mission to Mars and she's swooning and dancing all over the place, and I swear orgasming a few times. Cool ending but really, really sentimental for the most part - spoils a great concept. Why I could never go on that mission? Because I would no doubt vomit if I had to watch Tim Robbins and Connie Nielsen swooning over each other - and vomiting in zero G is not generally recommended.

5.0 out of 5 starsAnother great Mars movie
By Dr SpaceMan on April 28, 2016
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
Another great Mars movie. I really cant get enough of these guys showing us the fun times on the Red Planet(see what I did there?) But truly this movie is well done with a lot of interesting points. It might be a little slow at times, with some kind of weird aspects to the movie, but it is still definitely worth watching if you are into space movies.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Great Movie About a Mars Rescue Mission
By Steve Lower on August 9, 2013
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I love "Mission to Mars." I like both the actors and the very touching story. Gary Sinese is a lot like me in that he has lost his wife (mine passed away in 2001) and still likes to watch videos of his beloved, like I do. The story itself is very entertaining, and there is great sequence about the spacecraft on the way to Mars that I like to call the "Zero Gravity Dance," which to me is very cool. "Mission to Mars" came out at about the same time as "Red Planet," and I own both movies and thoroughly enjoy the.

4.0 out of 5 starsWatch this first then watch "The Martian"
By C. Ivie on February 21, 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
AS a retired NASA guy I am impressed by the special effect and the scientific accuracy. Nice combo of real rocket science and supermarket tabloid sensationalism with a touch of authentic DNA thrown in.

A way to kill a couple of hours. The meeting with the animated alien was a bit over the top. Watchable but the musical score sounded waaaaay dated. Definitely seen better & worse.
