Critics Consensus: Beauty only goes skin deep in this shallow but visually stunning film.

Reviews

Cultural Conversation

Tony Black

A sedate, mournful, yet optimistic journey to the stars.

Swerves into irreversible stupidity down the stretch, generally plays like a half-formed prequel to "Ancient Aliens," and ends like a Disney ride version of "Ad Astra." But Brian De Palma's hand is all over the sustained tension of the second act.

This should be so much better than it is but feels like 3 movies mashed into one and it doesn't work

The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction

Kathi Maio

...despite the repeated sentimental trope of true loves lost, the film loses its simple humanity along the way, and it never fills the void with either the action or humor that have long been the saving grace of filmic space operas.

So-so sci-fi; may be too intense for some kids.

So-so sci-fi with some very intense scenes.

What Parents Need to Know

Parents need to know that Mission to Mars is a 2000 Brian DePalma-directed sci-fi movie about a team of astronauts in the year 2020 who land on Mars and make a profound discovery. Characters are in peril and there are a number of tense moments and several deaths. One of the astronauts is blown into pieces by a violent sandstorm. A later death scene in space (a character commits suicide to save the lives of others), might be too emotionally intense for some viewers. There is also some consumerism: M&M's, Dr. Pepper, and Kawasaki products are prominently displayed in important scenes. Profanity includes "son of a bitch," "damn," "goddamnit," "ass."
