BradWesley123's Movie Journal- June 2019 (39 movies items)

" Showtime- 1hr. 53min. First Viewing There are moments of genuine wonderment that director Brian de Palma is able to elicit with Mission to Mars. Sure, they've been slathered in pseudo-philosophical schmaltz, but his abilities as a filmmaker power this one to some wonderful moments. Unfortunately, the story just doesn't have it. The film is just built on cliches, on contrivances, that rob the film of it's impact. The cast tries their damnedest to inject some soul into the proceedings (to their c"

Top 10 Movies That I Like But Everyone Else Hates (10 movies items)

"In my early teens, this was actually my favourite movie. But looking back at it today, I find the acting and parts of the script to be pretty insufferable. That said, however, I still think this movie has a ton going for it. The story, despite an admittedly unimaginative ending, is a pretty solid adventure for the most part. I especially love how flawlessly the movie conveys a sense of complete isolation. It really succeeds in making Mars seem barren but beautiful. And the score by Ennio Morrico"

An average movie

“To be honest, it has been a while since I have seen this movie  and maybe I should give it another shot at some point, or maybe not. Basically, back in 2000, they released 2 movies dealing with Mars, this movie and ‘Red Planet’ and even though you might have expected one of them to succeed, both of them were poorly received and failed at the box-office. Well, with this in mind, I didn’t expect much from this flick but, to be honest, I thought it was not so bad after all. I mean, it wasn’t ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’, that’s for sure, butI thought it was visually decent and the story was fairly entertaining. The fact that I always had a weak spot for such adventures in space probably made me give this movie a few extra points. Furthermore, any movie starring Tim Robbins and Don C” read more

“I remember seeing this in the theater when I was around 8 years old and I remembered liking it since you get to see what outer space would be like. It had been a long time since I saw this and I thought I would give it a rewatch. Needless to say, this is not the movie I remember enjoying! Some of the science in this is not really accurate and while the visual effects look pretty good, the story is complete nonsense and while the cast (Gary Sinise, Tim Robbins, Don Cheadle, Connie Nielsen, Jerry O'Connell) did try their hardest with the material they were given, it completely wasn't enough to try redeem it. This film came out around the same time as "Red Planet" with Val Kilmer, an even worse Mars movie and they're both bad in very different ways. For Brian De Palma, it was yet another disa” read more
