Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Susan Stark, Detroit News: The next time any movie tells you the Martians are coming, choose the better part of valor: Just duck. Read more
Tom Sime, Dallas Morning News: Red Planet is cluttered with too many threats and too many implausible solutions. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Atrocious dialogue, gross cliches, absurd plot twists and ludicrous orchestral flourishes. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: What human speech manages to break through the tedious, impenetrable jargon is so compressed and weighted with exposition that it feels more like notes for an outline than actual conversation. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: Early on, Lucy informs the crew there's been a 'failure to engage.' I think she was talking about the movie. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: There's precious little sense of adventure, suspense or excitement and no sense of fun. Read more
Eric Harrison, Houston Chronicle: Red Planet seems powered by a 'Cool Stuff' aesthetics -- it's full of bits and pieces that don't add up to anything or make much of an impression. Read more
Paul Tatara, CNN.com: A hardware-based endurance test that looks spectacular and is only slightly more exciting than a nine-hour cricket match. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: [The actors] stand around mouthing dry as Martian dust dialogue. Read more
John Anderson, Newsday: Any movie that requires this much narration-background, plot line and introductions to each and every character-is as deprived of oxygen as outer space. Read more
Bob Thomas, Associated Press: A mildly diverting adventure film for those who enjoy thrills and shocks without having to think too much. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: As a human interest drama, Red Planet is more thin than Mars' atmosphere. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The story's strong point isn't psychological depth or complex relationships, but brainy scientists trying to think their way out of a box that grows smaller every minute. Read more
Charles Taylor, Salon.com: Red Planet isn't particularly offensive, except in its total mediocrity. Read more
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle: This spaceship misfire manages to be overblown and undernourished at the same time. Read more
Desson Thomson, Washington Post: Chuck Pfarrer's screenplay feels older than the Martian hills. Read more
