Review of Red Planet (2000) by Henry H — 10 Apr 2013
So I'm watching the ending now with Val Kil -- oh, I'm sorry. I don't mean to give anything away. Or do I? Do I even care? Is this movie even worth the trouble of giving away the ending to.
..? of...? I don't know how to end that sentence. Okay, so that Matrix Chickie is in this movie. What's herrrrrr... Carrie-Anne Moss! That's it. So.. she's in sexy space outfits inside a lot of tunnels and various rooms with views of space outside the windows for the majority of the movie.
I think that was probably my favorite part. All those scenes. Although, another part of thinks seeing her with *anyone* outside of Keanu in *anything* futuristic is just.. cheating. In a nutshell, this film didn't really do anything for me.
It may have been fun to think about (spoiler alert!) us landing on Mars and, oh my god, we can breathe! But... yes. I saw it on the SyFy channel which, appropriately, viewed more like a SyFy Channel-created movie than a big budget theatrical release sci-fi motion picture.
If you must see this, check your local cable listings before you go renting any DVDs or pony up $5 (Why???) at the local Walmart video bin.
