    Mission To Mars

    Reviewed by

    "Mission to Mars" seems to infuriate a lot of people for some reason. Brian DePalma is usually given very high ratings as a filmmaker. So what happened here? I personally loved this movie, with its homage to Kubrick's "2001," and its emphasis on good feeling between some very pleasant and heroic characters, and its anxiety about a vague threat to the human race that has something to do with our carelessness about technology. It also has some fascinating speculations about history and evolution. I wonder if anyone noticed how women are very important in it, although definitely some leading character could have been a woman other than the Goddess personified in the later virtual reality sequence. But I think it's still great for a DePalma movie as compared with maybe "Carrie" and "Dressed to Kill, " and even "BlowOut, " where women meet with disaster.
