red planet opener

I'm currently watching a movie called Red Planet about a manned mission to Mars.

Not sure I've seen it before. The Matrix's Triinity has an interesting and equally intense role. Val Kilmer's permanent grin is a little out of place but I like the premise of the film, that the terra-forming algae has completely vanished!

I will let you know how I get on with this flick as soon as I watch the rest over the weekend.

Did it spawn any merchandise?

  1. Its one of the better Mars films which appeared at the time, very well realised, but a little light on logic and practicality again. Some great designs and the escape pod sequence has me rubbing my ribs in mock agony every time!

    1. I know what you mean Bill. Getting the russian pod to take-off was the best part of the film.
