The ONLY good thing about this movie was Gary Sinise ... and the use of "Dance the Night Away." Tim Robbin's smug demeanor is just dreadful and the story just flat out sucked ... just like Brian de Palma.... Full review

There are a few fabulous moments in Mission to Mars, but sadly they are just that - moments. Enjoyable entertainment before inspirational cinema, Mission To Mars is best described as good-looking regurgitation. ... Full Review

Hollywood Report Card
Adequately compelling, you may find the hokey "Mission to Mars" slightly insulting to your adult intellect. The special effects are garden-variety: most fine to midland, some cheesy, some impressive. Nope, but it sure looks good on film. ... Full Review

Hollywood Reporter, US
But these landscapes are almost too realistic for the movie's good.....The most damaging aspect to this movie about the rescue of a marooned astronaut on Mars is its startling lack of urgency.....Featuring a solid ensemble cast but lacking any actor with true star power, "Mission to Mars" appears headed for a less-than-stellar boxoffice performance domestically..... ...

On a surface level, the film certainly isn't as convincing or dynamic as it perhaps ought to be. Some awkward moments made me worry that the film might lose its audience But perhaps they really just didn't enjoy the film. ... Full Review
