Synopsis: Mission Commander Kate Bowman (Carrie-Anne Moss) is the pilot and commander of the most important mission of the 21st century: saving the human race. It’s 2050, earth is dying, and colonizing... Mission Commander Kate Bowman (Carrie-Anne Moss) is the pilot and commander of the most important mission of the 21st century: saving the human race.

It’s 2050, earth is dying, and colonizing Mars is the only alternative to obliteration. Bowman and her crew have made this journey to investigate what went wrong with the malfunctioning Mars Terraforming Project, and to repair it. But what happens when they get there is far more terrifying than anyone could have guessed: a crash-landing leaves them without scientific, communication or escape equipment, and causes their military mapping and exploration robot to malfunction into an enemy, relentlessly dedicated to breaking the team down. Defying orders from Houston, Bowman refuses to leave Gallagher (Val Kilmer), with whom she shares an intense emotional bond, and the others (Tom Sizemore, Benjamin Bratt, Simon Baker and Terence Stamp), and instead attempts to guide them back from above.

But as the landing team explores the harsh new planet desperately seeking a way out, they make the most terrifying and baffling discovery of all: Mars may be barren, but it’s not uninhabited.

Val Kilmer (“Heat,” “The Prince of Egypt”), Tom Sizemore (“Saving Private Ryan”), Carrie-Anne Moss (“The Matrix”), Benjamin Bratt (TV’s “Law & Order”), Simon Baker (“L.A. Confidential”) and Terence Stamp (“The Limey”) star in “Red Planet,” an epic romantic adventure about one crew’s intense struggle for survival against the most extreme odds imaginable. [More]

Red Planet's lack of original ideas locks it into a decaying orbit.

Even when the astronauts are running out of oxygen, they still insist on espousing their theories about life, science and God. Had the movie any sexual or racial tension, it could pass itself off as "The Real World: Mars."

The film’s dearth of imagination is nowhere more evident than in the flat, tepid dialogue.
