Mission to Mars: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

The movie itself is, as you can guess, about a mission to Mars. The astronauts, Jim (Commander, played by [[Gary Sinise]]), Terri (Connie Nielsen), Woody ([[Tim Robbins]]) and Phil (Jerry O'Connell) are sent to find out what happened to the first expedition to Mars which sent a garbled [[Distress Call]]. They encounter a lot of challenges, including some in flight turbulence... in space! Where they have to do a perilous EVA repair. Mars itself is a treacherous planet, and the survivors of the previous expedition are not what they expected.

 

Where it gets interesting are the visuals, which only get more impressive once they realize that there once was intelligence on Mars.

 

* [[Artificial Gravity]]: The gang had a lot of fun when they turned it off, so they could dance Zero-G style!

* [[Avoid the Dreaded G Rating|Avoid the Dreaded PG Rating]]: Averted; despite a sequence where an astronaut is {{spoiler|literally ripped apart by a powerful dust storm vortex, in all its bloody stumpage,}} the film still somehow got slapped with a family-friendly PG (although the film itself does not share that demographic).

* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: The crew gets to go home {{spoiler|but one of them goes with the alien.}}

* [[Distress Call]]

* [[Space Is Cold]]

* [[Space Is Noisy]]
