Burton makes fun of moronic american society and it's system through out the whole movie, no wonder so many *patriotic* americans did not like it. Whoever gave this movie an F probably gave an A to movies like American Pie and... Full review

You would really have to try hard to convert a hot subject such as an alien invasion from Mars into one of the worst science fiction movie of all times. The best medicine would be to lock the production crew in... Full review

By Jove! Burton's done it again. But now, he has induced a vendetta against all martians (except Marvin the Martian). They destroy nearly all mankind, destroy the president, and do something you do not want to know. Unless you want to... Full review

Nonetheless, I felt the flick was terrific.
Shimmering and jagged edges created no significant concerns, but a mix of minor print flaws cropped up throughout the movie.
The Cast includes short biographies for 16 actors as well as director Burton.

While pipe-chomping scientist Donald Kessler (Pierce Brosnan) is convinced the aliens are making friendly overtures, war-hungry Gen. Decker (Rod Steiger) urges the president to nuke them out of the skies.
the film is also heavy on cheesy special effects - a la, the '50s and '60s science-fiction flicks that provide much of its inspiration
