All they have to do is align themselves to the correct the orbit , but a dangerous fuel leak may be about to jeopardise their plans . On the way to Mars they become involved into more and more troubles , difficulties and weird surprises . Getting there was the easy part !. Let There Be Life !. For centuries, we've searched for the origin of life on Earth...We've been looking on the wrong planet !.
Decent space odyssey with fine cast , including thrills , chills , and spectacular Mars scenes. This enjoyable picture blends Science Fiction and Fantasy genre , developing an intelligent script that disseminates the clues to maintain the interest and tension of the viewer and reflect on the eternal theme of the confrontation between man and nature , as well as the struggle between faith and scientific reason . However , some incongruous scenes undermine whatever it was director attempting to accomplish . Adding other philosophical themes as theories of Ancient astronauts , crew doubts , fears and questions about God and divine providence , man's destiny and the nature of the universe turn defining elements in their fates . Writers spent a long period investigating with the goal of researching Mars and space travel and studying photography to see how light behaves in the atmosphere . The result is a feature film narrated with rhythm enough , including careful production design and a sober touch on the scenes in which the dazzling special effects stand out . It is an interesting and thought-provoking motion picture , though typical routine -at times- space odyssey that goes wrong when some astronauts find death in diverse strange forms . In the film there're chilling set pieces , suspense , body-count , intrigue and visual wizardy , but the very used plot and some indifferent interpretations spoiled the final result . Mission to Mars (2000) follows the style of other 2.000's films in which expeditions on Mars get in trouble , such as : the subsequent ¨The Last Days on Mars (2013)¨ by Ruairi Robinson with Liev Schreiber , Elias Koteas , Romola Garai , Olivia Williams and being made at the same time to ¨Red Planet¨ (2000) by Anthony Hoffman stars Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore , Benjamin Bratt , Simon Baker , Terence Stamp ; that was its greatest rivalry and competence . The biggest claim of this space epic ¨Brian De Palma's Mission to Mars¨, (2000)¨ results to be its cast , headed by Gary Sinese , Tim Robbins , Don Cheadle , Connie Nielsen and a large support cast in brief apperances , such as : Peter Outerbridge , Kavan Smith , Armin Mueller-Stahl , Kim Delaney , Elise Neal , among others .
It displays monumental musical score by genius composer Ennio Morricone , adding colorful and brilliant cinematography by cameraman Stephen Burum. The motion picture was well directed by Brian De Palma (Snake Eyes , Mission: Impossible, The Untouchables , Scarface , Body Double , Obsession , Phantom of the Paradise, The Fury , Dressed to Kill , Sisters) who's well known for his visual wizardry and on that element he doesn't disappoint . Rating : 6.5/10 . The pic will appeal to Sci-Fi fans.
