A rescue mission on Mars discovers a
statue. Proof of a previous civilisation on the planet.
Why do some people hate this film so much? It’s dramatic and visually beautiful. The characters are well enough developed to be engaging. Granted, the acting is mediocre with the exceptions of Robbins and Cheadle who are always good. The dialogue is lame at times, yes, and there are too many US flags but all in all, it’s a solid, entertaining sci fi film. Don’t let the bad reviews stop you from seeing it.
3 ½ * of 5.
