Review of Mission to Mars (2000) by Emilio J — 07 Aug 2007
What starts out as a very promising movie ends up being a complete waste of time. What a cheesy, cliche, over-the-top and awkward movie this was. Brian DePalma directed it? Nahhh, I refuse to believe the mastermind behind 'The Untouchables', 'Scarface' and 'Carlito's Way' crafted this confusing misfire.
The only decent part about the film is the acting. Gary Sinise, Don Cheadle and Tim Robbins are all top-notch in their roles even if their material sucks. Connie Nielsen is decent, while child-actor turned Sliders-star Jerry O'Connell is laughably bad.
I don't recommend this movie to anyone. Grade: C-.
