    Editorial Reviews

    Blast off to the highbrow with Mission to Mars, a science fiction film more reminiscent of cerebral Carl Sagan's Contact than explosive Roland Emmerich's Independence Day. When America sends its first crew of astronauts to land on Mars, they are sucked into an inexplicable vortex that leaves nothing but destruction in its wake. Faster than you can say "Houston, we have a problem," a rescue team led by Gary Sinise is sent to recover any survivors -- or remains -- of the Mars Exploration Team. The impressive cast includes Tim Robbins, Don Cheadle, and Jerry O'Connell, but it is Sinise's signature intensity that anchors the film, keeping the sometimes-disjointed story on a course toward its thought-provoking ending. Director Brian De Palma uses his first science fiction film to pay appropriate homage to past space exploration films. From the rotating space station to the HAL-like computer voice of the spaceship, Mission to Mars reconnects audiences with the wonder of 2001: A Space Odyssey while pondering the unanswered question of the ages: "Is there life on Mars?" Jason Bergenfeld, Barnes & Noble

    April 13, 2006: Mission to Mars was hit in theatres all over the galaxy. With the special effects, the vortex seemed like a black hole/tornado/giant worm. It is an amazing film, and you should definitely buy it and watch it if you like sci-fi films.
