Whatever's shoddy or limp about Mission to Mars, however conspicuous while the film unfolds, all becomes admirably pale as the full viewing experience recedes and the good stuff emerges in proud bas-relief. Full Review |

Mission to Mars' redemptive coda opened the door for the subsequent film's continuing figurative and literal sanguinity. Full Review |

The too-many-cooks rule applies to this script, which borrows wantonly from sci-fi classics of the past. Full Review |

If Brian DePalma's Mission to Mars were a book, it would have a yellow cover and the title '2001 for Dummies.' Full Review |
