★★ Mission To Mars

[Tiny: 2.0]

Tiny says: 'I may be generous with the 2.0 for this terribly scripted and cheesily constructed sci-fi movie. Lots of annoying verbal exposition and some surprisingly bad acting, which I blame squarely on director Brian De Palma. Blatant attempts at homage to Kubrick's 2001 are just embarrassing. I even disliked the soundtrack. So why a 2.0? The outline of the story isn't terrible and made me curious to watch, and some of the visual effects are fun to watch.'
