This movie is a prime example of how a movie needs more than just special effects to be entertaining. It needs acting, and it needs a good story.
Red Planet has a decent dollop of the former, yet falls way short of the latter. It's a shame to see good actors stuck in a bad story, but they manage to keep this one mildly interesting. Plus we get to see Carrie Anne-Moss as naked as we're ever going to see her! Other than that, Mission to Mars has this movie beat in terms of storytelling.
5/10
