Red Planet (2000)

Predictable But Entertaining

It's not a bad science film but it's not a good one either. I liked to a degree - for the entertainment value. I think it's good for a one time watch if you like science fiction movies.

********* Spoiler ***********

It's a predictable movie - a group of scientists on a desolate planet (Mars) and they have a sentient robot with them AMEE. Something will have to happen to cause drama and action with the isolated group and what better to be the enemy than their own AMEE that turns on them. To add more to a space drama you will need to have something to go wrong - in the case of this film it's the oxygen running out.

*****************************

In spite of the predictability of the movie it is a good watch for those who have not seen the film. It is entertaining.

6.5/10
