Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Bert Krus I have always loved science fiction with space ships and unknown planets. Two years ago I decided not to watch Mars because of the bad reviews. I was stupid. Watching it now I am impressed with the visuals, the acting and the script. Mars is glorifying beautiful and also a slow burning thriller. This series is about science and all things unexpectedly that can go wrong. A struggle on the edge of life and death. Dont believe the bad reviews, those are from people watching bluckbusters. I love it!

honest_reviews17 This documentary is basically SpaceX propaganda in a dramatized form. Their over-use of the word "humankind" rather than "mankind" feels like PC talk being shoved down your throat.

Steve Swayne I enjoyed Mars, mainly because I like space exploration and the tech involved. The mixing of documentary footage, interviews of real people and then hopping forward in time to the fictional mission worked quite well. What I didn't like were the implausible series of disasters besetting the crew.During the Apollo era every activity to be undertaken either in the spacecraft or on the surface in EVA suits was meticulously planned and rehearsed hundreds of times. How likely would it be for a situation to arise on Mars where they would bungle sorting out their power supply, and have that happen right when the worst dust storm in history occurs... Like they would not have seen the weather system developing in time to bring forward the power cable work, or have extra people out there for such a mission critical EVA?And the lack of dual airlocks in the plant laboratory for dramatic license when the plant guy goes bananas... Not to mention that no one noticed he was that far over the edge until too late.A real shame they did not focus on the science on Mars and the real issues, rather than trying to make it into a TV movie.

MB It is absolutely true that there are quite a few questionable incidences, where supposed highly trained astronauts, undertaking the mission of their lives, don't really seem to be taking much schooling with them. An example of this would be the general lack of quick and clear communication between each crew member. Rather every line of inquiry is either met with prolonged hesitation, a vague response or sometimes straight up slurry ignorance. Also sweetie, could you maybe throw around a few more glow sticks before you hand yourself on a silver platter to Mr. mars mutant that must be waiting at the bottom of that endlessly black pit. However!!!The way the entire series is built, having a divided section with inputs from a long list of well renowned experts and enthusiasts giving ACTUAL ideas on colonising the red planet, is absolutely terrific. You also meet NASA and SpaceX employees that let you in on some of the things to consider when embarking on this mission. You really feel excited throughout every episode learning more and more about the real deal, while being deeply entertained with great effects and a solid story line on the other side. All that greatness in one show, allows me to forgive the obvious mistakes that occur once in a while. I am fascinated and in ore - well done.Thanks for reading.
