"Red Planet" is a science fiction film directed by Antony Hoffman and released in 2000.
The plot follows a team of astronauts who travel to Mars on a mission to colonise the planet, however, a series of unfortunate and mysterious events begin to endanger their lives.
Personally, I found it to be a rather disappointing film, despite a talented cast, including Val Kilmer and Carrie-Anne Moss, the story lacked originality and depth.

The plot became predictable and the characters were flat and uninteresting.
In addition, the film attempted to combine elements of science fiction and suspense, but failed to maintain a steady pace or generate a real sense of tension.
The action scenes were unexciting and the resolution of the conflicts was rather predictable and unsatisfying.
As for the visual effects, although they were considered impressive at the time, today they look somewhat dated and fail to maintain the visual impact they were intended to have.
