Il 9 giugno 2020 un equipaggio di astronauti della NASA lascia la Terra in direzione di Marte. Mesi più tardi, quando la missione é approdata sul pianeta rosso, il comandante Luke Graham e i suoi compagni scoprono qualcosa di strano e di gigantesco che si avvicina a loro. Fanno appena in tempo a trasmettere un messaggio non del tutto comprensibile, e poi vengono inghiottiti da una forza superiore. La stazione spaziale mondiale deve elaborare in fretta una missione di salvataggio per cercare di capire cosa è accaduto e recuperare gli eventuali superstiti. Capeggiato dai copiloti Woody Blake e Jim McConnell e completato dalla dottoressa Terry Fisher e dallo scienziato Phil Ohlmyer, il nuovo equipaggio si appresta a raggiungere a sua volta Marte. Ma Woody rimane ucciso nello spazio nel corso di una manovra, atterrano in tre, cominciano a visitare l'astronave atterrata prima. Nella serra incontrano Luke, che è vivo, e riferisce che la forza è uscita dalla montagna a forma di faccia che si vede davanti. Jim individua un modello di DNA, e dice che qualcuno vuole che loro aggiungano i due cromosomi mancanti. Ora sono davanti alla faccia che si apre per farli entrare. All'interno Luc, Terry e Jim vedono alcuni esemplari di esseri umani allo stato originario: loro sono noi, noi siamo loro, dice Jim. L'incontro con l'origine della vita consiglia un ritorno affrettato all'astronave base. L'equipaggio riparte, la faccia esplode. Jim decide di rimanere. Gli altri lo incrociano dall'astronave, e Terry dice: "Mi raccomando divertiti, Jim".

3.0 out of 5 stars Not great, but explores some interesting ideas 2 Jan 2011
By The Guardian TOP 100 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
Brian DePalma's "Mission to Mars" usually inspires one of two polar opposite reactions from viewers: either it's outstanding, or it's unbearably awful. As is often the case, the truth lies somewhere in between. Although the plotline contains little truly original material and none of the acting performances come close to oscar material, the film has some minor strengths which make it worth seeing at least once.

M2M takes elements of the plotline from A C Clark and Stanley Kubrick's 1969 classic "2001: A Space Odyssey" and reworks them into a near-future first-mission-to-Mars setting. Many of the scenes are reminiscent of "2001" especially the zero-gravity shots and the long, slow destruction of the rescue ship, with the four crew then drifting high above Mars in space suits: an episode of genuine dramatic tension which pays homage to the long scene of astronaut Dave's attempts to outwit the computer HAL in "2001". The final scenes give cinematic voice to the widespread speculation that the enormous upward-facing rock "face" situated in the Cydonia Crater published on NASA's photographs might indeed be an artificially-created artefact and evidence of previous intelligent habitation of Mars.

One of the problems with this movie seems to be that it falls between different classes of sci-fi and doesn't really know if it's fish or fowl, so to speak. Its upbeat enlightened-aliens-from-ancient-times theme is reminiscent of the original 1950 "The Day the Earth Stood Still" (justifiably seen as a classic) and Spielberg's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" - especially the ending. It's probably best to suspend disbelief and see the message of M2M as belonging to this strain of the genre. The discovering-remains-of-advanced-ancient-alien-civilization-on-distant-planet theme was pioneered as far back as Fred Wilcox's "Forbidden Planet" in 1956, has been revisited many times since and forms the cornerstone of the plot of M2M. The realization of this theme is unfortunately trite and unconvincing, with pretty doe-eyed androgynous CGI alien demonstrating that they were responsible for seeding life on Earth millions of years ago before departing for destination unknown elsewhere in the galaxy (why didn't they just move to Earth and settle there? - not answered).

On realization of scientific detail and on representation of Mars as we know it to be, the film scores a fairly high 8/10 due to advisory input from NASA. Realistic portrayal of space travel within the confines of current technology know-how: 7/10. Acting performances, 4/10 at most and character development, around 3/10. Dramatic tension, a respectable 5/10. Originality maybe 2/10 (the face-in-Cydonia speculation has featured as the central theme in no other movie but the rest of the plot is derivative). Overall, 5/10.

So in summary, not as bad as some claim and not great either. If you don't expect either the haunting mystique of "2001", the schlock-shock of Ridley Scott's "Alien" series or the wondrous and positivist message of Spielberg's CE3 but accept M2M as a hybrid which works well in parts, you'll enjoy it for what it is: an OK movie which misses the mark of greatness by some margin, but can be good entertainment nevertheless.

Format:VHS Tape
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.... 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

4.0 out of 5 stars mars 2 Mar 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
OK I know this got panned by some critics when it was first released, and yes it is cripplingly slow at times but I just love the way it reaches it's climax. For me the reproduction of the solar system / desruction of Mars effects made the whole film. Yes some of the acting was a a bit hammy / schmalzy but over all I loved this dvd. Missed it several times on telly so finally bought it and no regrets. Play this on upscaler and watch on big screen tv - the effects are worth it!

Short and sweet, one of the most underrated sci-fi movies of the last few years. Watched it many times, always enjoyed it fully. Great film, great effects, good acting.
