Austin Chronicle
I loved this movie. Or perhaps I should say the 15-year-old boy in me -- the dreamy, disaffected misfit with his head in the stars and a stack of Bantam sci-fi paperbacks as his sole defense against small-town boredom -- loved it. - 60
L.A. Weekly
A fun movie. Not scary-fun. If you're a male over 10 years old, that should be enough. - 40
Dallas Observer
Visit Red Planet, and you'll boldly go where everyone has gone before. - 40
TV Guide Magazine
Overblown, ridiculously contrived drive-in flick. - 40

Moss -- in her first big role since "The Matrix" -- is the main reason to see Red Planet, a badly written and visually scenic space opus. - 38
USA Today
You can always judge a sci-fi thriller by its aliens. What does Planet offer -- Space roaches. - 30
The New York Times
A leaden, skimpily plotted space-age Outward Bound adventure with vague allegorical aspirations that remain entirely unrealized. - 30
Village Voice
A pale, patchy amalgam of the year's two unfairly reviled interplanetary adventures, "Supernova" and "Mission to Mars," the lunkheaded Red Planet distinguishes itself with a touching pretense of scientific veracity.
