This is somewhat off-topic for this group, but it is space related.
I went to see Mission to Mars last night and found it to be one of the worst
movies I've seen in a LONG time. The story line was generic and predictable.
The dialogue was cheesy. Even more so than Starship Troopers. There were
several EVA scenes where the characters weren't tethered to the ship, even
though they were in orbit around Mars with no hope of a rescue should anything
happen.
The final straw for me was also an EVA rescue scene. One character had run his
pack out of fuel and managed to turn himself into a Martian Satellite. The
rescuing character, after expending half of her fuel trying to reach him, was
commanded to stop at about the midway point otherwise she wouldn't have enough
fuel to get back to the ship. This bothered me very much, because it would
have taken the same amount of fuel to reach the victim and turn around as it
would have to stop midway and turn around. The only difference being the
ammount of time that a person would have to wait.
In short, save your money on this one. I sure wish I had my $8 back.

| Wow. If you disliked this movie for some of the reasons you listed - then why do you go see anything on the bid screen that is SciFi? They all seem to have these 'type' problems. The movie is actually pretty decent in my opinion... EC (25 years ago, 12-Mar-00, to lugnet.space)
