I like this movie, but I believe that it would’ve been 1000x better if they made this into an “Angry Red Planet” remake & bring back that giant rat bat spider.
This has to happen now.
Yes that would be good to have monsters on planet like that Vin Diesel movie pitch black.
The what
The " angry red planet" narrative, has loads of potential, cinematically. I like the idea of an environment, contrary to what we know to be true. Another movie, " Wizards of Mars" has similar themes, " Robinson Crusoe on Mars" is another one.
And the giant cyclops booger.
I love how you can make mediocre films sound better than they actually are. It's a gift.
Always mix this movie up with another Mars movie that came out the same year.
Thanks Noelie! :P
Mission to Mars (2000)
Ghosts of Mars w/ Ice Cube
I actually covered Ghosts of Mars 4 months ago lol Heres a link to the video - ua-cam.com/video/D08868jddSI/v-deo.html
@@filmcomicsexplained ridiculous movie lol
Dude! Love this movie! It's too bad this movie got negative Reviews by Critics and made $33 million dollars against an $80 million dollar budget.
I saw this on HBO in 2001, then on Syfy in 2003.
Val Kilmer and Tom Sizemore would often get into fights onset and one time, Kilmer threw a 30 lb dumbbell at Sizemore, over a paycheck dispute, but reconciled.
They flipped a coin to see who would say "F--K this planet."
It was Killer who said the line.
Kilmer being Kilmer.
Sizemore is an insane human being! Not a bad one I don’t think (though I could just not know enough) just tragically nuts.
@@ptolemeeselenion1542 Don’t know about Kilmer but I know Sizemore is famously crazy.
This is a good movie and deserves to do better on box office.
@@USCanDoBetter, Sizemore for Me is A Underatted and Underappreciated actor! Heat Strange Days Saving Private Ryan etc
I really appreciate Val Kilmer as an actor. And the fact he recorded his whole life made for the incredible documentary about him. He was the actor you loved to hate and loved to win
If we can terraform mars into an earthlike planet then we are more than capable of fixing the problems here on earth instead of fleeing to another planet.
it's not even an issue of fixing earth, it's just not screwing it up... which is even easier.
I always thought that we would only try to terraform a planet when we had control over our own planet like in star trek or something. Guess most Sci fi thinks differt for some reason. 🤷♂️
The thing is there are far more dangers out of our control then those man has inflicted.
At any second Earth could be wiped out and we would have no way of seeing the event coming.
Yes, but fixing Earth doesn't sound as cool as colonising Mars.
Elon musk: I don't want to hear that. Me want big shiny rockets. Me want go to mars.😄
Yet another movie from the distant past that warns that the environment is on the edge of collapse in the near future... a date which is always the distant past! I've been watching these Eco Doomsday movies for 40 years now, and still the apocalypse is nowhere in sight.
"Man is a party animal if he is doing ok nothing else matters, that's not going to change" Tom Sizemore
i consider this a good example or early 2000 scyfy stories. grew up watching this movie thanks for covering it
It's still good even today.
Same here one of my favorite scifi movies ever. The visuals still look great and futuristic.
It's funny, because fixing any damage to the Earth would be FAR easier and cheaper than terraforming Mars.
Right? And if you truly possess the tech to terraform a planet as fast as they did, you proobt have tech to fix any environmental problems you have.
You realise we will run out of space on this planet right?
This planet cannot hold 10+ billion people
@@gergopiroska5749 It can easily hold 10 billion plus. There is more than enough resources and space to sustain that kind of population. The problem right now is poor management of resources and ill conceived policies that don't help the situation.
@@gergopiroska5749 are you aware at how sheerly empty this planet is, humans probably take up about 5% of that space
You still need to seed another planet and moons to increase the chance of mankind to survive
"Solar Flare"
The only thing that can kill Plot Armor
Solar flare can be deflected by nivea solar flare sunscreen lotion. 😄
Thank you for this - just the other day, I was remember a sci-fi movie from the early 2000s about people trapped on a planet, and they get picked off by their own robotic sentry that sometimes looks like a dog. I just couldn't remember what it was...then I find this.
It's almost 2025 now, and we're not even close to this scenario.
Yeah, really sucks, I am still hoping to see a manned mission to Mars in my lifetime.
Why would you send a combat robot to assist a team of scientists on a planet devoid of intelligent life? What, were they expecting resistance from the algae?
Soundtrack by Peter Gabriel, Emma Shapplin, Sting and Graeme Revell is an absolute banger.
The often repeated premise of leaving Earth to find another planet to sustain us when all other planets are far less habitable than the most ravaged Earth is ridiculous!
Nice little sci fi gem. Not great but worth a watch
It had its strong points
Still enjoyable. I love space exploration films. It's a bit like a Mission to Mars.
@@jonfreeman9682 I wish we got more space movies. Space horror. Space exploration. Space ?!?!?! Movies. I'm the big sad without them. I Hope You Are Having A Great Day And That You And Your Loved Ones Are Healthy And Safe!
@@bentboybbz There's not many space horror that's good besides Aliens. There's a few space horror like sunshine, Pandorum, Moon, Event Horizon that comes to mind. None are as good as Ridley Scott's original alien though. There's also some good space films I enjoyed like passengers and Aniara but aren't really horror. Plus there's a whole bunch of low budget space films that you've never heard of that are not great but still watchable.
I feel like this needs a second movie explaining what a bad idea bringing an extraterrestrial highly invasive (super flammable) insectoid species to earth is
In the end it's not just about fixing the problems here on Earth. Colonizing another planet and even establishing outposts on the Moon increases the odds of species survival ahould a catastrophic even occur here on the homeworld. Everything from a asteroid impact to nuclear war, biological collapse to GRBs. The more planets colonized the harder it is kill off humanity. Stacks the deck in survivals favor.
When the pre-launch check is automated, you know your doomed.
This movie suffers from the 'too much things going wrong at the same time' syndrome.
Just had to say you produce some great content sir.. interesting topics and well done narration..you can tell how much work you put into the videos..so major credit to you
Everyone should take note that the ship is actually the most scientifically sound design in a movie you will see. The rings around the ship are actually holding an em field that's keeping the ionizing radiation from frying the crew. The hulls "armor" is only for small space debris. With the EM fields being generated the real fiction is the solar flare messing up the ship. Our planet is protected by a giant EM field we survive solar flares year round.
Sucks to be inorganic eh… to bad you don’t have the proper genetic material to manufacture something like that… boy Hollywood is entertaining 😂
Little do you know everything that you think is protecting you is crumbling down hard
Omg are you a flerf?
@@keyonkhiry so a flerf and a coward. Gonna try and argue then not back it up when called out.
The movie was filmed on location in Jordan and the Australian Outback as the Mentmore Studios in Sydney.
You'd think in the future they'd have a way to protect themselves from a solar flare
You should cover the signal. It's was made in 2007. Strange but interesting movie 1 story told in 3 segments each with a different director
Mars movies are always interesting, itll be something else the day we make it there. Just watched the movie mirrors (2008) with my wife the other day. Pretty interesting and easy to follow movie, but I feel like an explained video by you might clear some things up
Awesome T Man! Will add it to the list, thanks :)
P
Ppp
@@filmcomicsexplained pppp
The day we make it there? Only if we kill Capitalism. Let's hope it's not too late.
I haven't seen red planet since I was a kid also this movie was made near my hometown coober pedy and my aunt god rest her soul has a picture with val kilmer
What an absolute all star cast jeez
Robot whipped that red marker out like a pissed off teacher grading tests.
I mean these little bastards also ate Spongebob's home so that should tell you something.
At 0:33 watching on a Galaxy A8 on 240p, that looks like Putin
Why the feck would you have a robot with 'military mode' on a purely scientific mission?
Before The Martian, there was Red Planet.
Val kilmer was a badass back in the day
Tell that to the cast of ‘The island of Dr Monroe’
@@chasjetty8729 i wish man i wish !
Man, any exploratory AI that doesn't priotize the protection and survival of its human explorers is not only absolute garbage, by highly unlikely. The AI ITSELF should have been the one to suggest ripping that fucking droid apart and doing it lickity split if it would help them.
Only humans would have an advanced human killing robot accompany them.
Yes! I remember watching the movie as a kid with my dad and could never remember the name of it! Thanks for the awesome video!
Same!
This is a good episode bro, thank you 🙏
I do really love this movie. But if we could genetically engineered algae to survive Mars. Then we could do the same on Earth.
Turn the Mojave desert into farm land. Or the Sahara desert into the Sahara rainforest.
Also the killer robot thing seemed like a bad decision by mission planners.
But a great movie none the less.
That's always the overlooked issue of teraforming, if you have the ability to bring a dead planet to life you should have no problem stabilizing an already living planet. Except the part where people suck and will do anything to mess up progress.
Okay, so the problem is with terraforming the earth is that all the systems are interconnected. Dust from the Sahara feeds the Amazon Rain forest, so turning it green would kill the Amazon. IDK about the Mojave but, you'd need to set up water moving there, and with the current problems wellll. That's harder than a dead world where you can afford to say, drop ice asteroids and comets on it without killing people.
@@benemuel3916 In the context of this movie "Red Planet" the rainforest is basically gone. So it's irrelevant.
Also the amount of "energy and logistics" of changing a asteroid or comets trajectory is truly insane. Let alone hundreds or thousands needed for Mars. Not to mention transporting the survivors from Earth.
It would just be faster, cheaper, easier, and probably more popular to focus on keeping Earth livable and restoring the environment.
@@jameskelly3502 movies also leave out the lack of a magnetic field to protect from radiation and atmosphere loss. Right now humans thinking about making mars into earth is like an ant dreaming of designing a 5th generation stealth plan.
@@kade426 yeah terraforming like in this movie IS possible its just mars is a TRULY dead world not just organically but geologically its core has stopped spinning so no magnetic field so no way to restore the atmosphere.
though in all honestly it just means dome and subterranian cities will be required to mass colonize mars both rather easy compared to GETTING there.
Thanks for the vids man. Love the channel.
Imagine in a Plot Twist and Shared Universe that this was the Prequel to James Camera's Avatar, basically Avatar would continue the Bizarre Adventure Storyline in a Artistic new version of a new filmmaker!
I was hoping you'd do MISSION TO MARS. I really wanted to discuss WHO the Martians were at war with.
At war? They got hit by a ELE Meteor. I don't think there was ever an "enemy" they were fighting.
please do mission to mars also
Absolutely champ!
This takes me back to my childhood.
This was a great movie, didn't mind the cgi robot dog thing, seemed like the crew story could have been a little more interesting, I swore that key bits were cut before it was released, but overall I like it, the score, visuals, pretty neat rescue sequence and happy ending
Poor Val. He was once the coolest. 😎
He still is Ice Cold!
Ice man is still cool. 😨
caught a video early for once and not 10 months later.
Glad I’m not the only person thinking about the explosive oxygen bugs from mars still.
Omg I forgot all about this movie I remember seeing it as a kid on Sci-Fi and loving it
LOVE THIS MOVIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ THANK YOU!!!!!!
Loved this move watch it over 50 time with the family great movie great actors great everything
I remember watching it as mid and it being what began my hype for Mars and interest in space
This was good one. I remember I had seen it a long time ago in the syfy channel. Really need that channel back
Solid work my man. Would love a episode on the Half Life lore...would like to hear your take on the G man or the combine.
You got it!
@@filmcomicsexplained farken legend...check out Leadhead work on UA-cam if you haven't already. They pick up so many little details that have completely changed how I look at the story.
I forget who posted it but I was watching this video of a guy theorizing what the gman exactly is and he had a cool theory that the gman is actually a mature Shu’ulathoi (race of reality warping beings before being enslaved by the Combine. These slaves make up the combine advisors, which are infant Shu’ulathoi) that’s attempting to use gifted individuals (Gordon, Alyx, Adrian) to exact revenge on the Combine. Really cool theory seeing as how the gman give off this ominous, almost sinister presence but he could actually, indirectly, be on the side of humanity.
Given what they achieved with shielding with the Juno space probe mission i think the old trope of the computer being knocked out from a solar flare trope is dead at this point.
Man I remember seeing this and being Terrified of the Robot Amy!
AAME looks to be a direct inspiration for the EMMI in metroid dread. Similar name, similar shape.
Like the Deep Impact to Armageddon double a a few years earlier. This was far lighter on the hard science compared to Mission to Mars, but so much more charismatic.
I enjoyed both. They were good.
some parts of this movie atleast as far as what is shown in this video, are suprisingly realistic to a point.
I thought it was well done. There's no aliens or monsters but just sci-fi mystery and the dangers of exploring Mars. Also liked mission to Mars and the Martian. The Martian is probably the best of the Mars space exploration genre.
Awesome sound track!!
Yay! Here in the first minute!!
🎉
Do more reviews of great underrated classics like this that fans have missed.
I appreciate your efforts in trying to put lipstick on cinematic pigs like this one.
Occasionally, the content gods demand a sacrifice...
Sometimes 🐖 can fly like this one. It ain't bad and you can't find many better when it comes to sci-fi space exploration. Other good ones I enjoyed are mission to Mars, Europa report, Ariana, Gravity and low budget indie like Prospect and Rubikon. Then there's the sci-fi space horror genre like Aliens, Event Horizon, pitch black, Cloverfield paradox and many others that amp up the action and excitement. But for an exploration of planet genre this is pretty good.
@@jonfreeman9682 Cloverfield Paradox was outright trash.
You're one of maybe five people I've ever seen mention it in the positive.
Cant wait to see you cover the sadnesss
Saw this in theaters with my brother. Really enjoyed it. Was surprised it ended up being a flop lol.
ah yes, the better one of the two mars movies from 2000
I remember this movie it freaked me out when I was a kid that stumbled on it
Good. I liked this. You should do Ghost of Mars the flick with Ice Cube
Try doing and explained video of Darkness Falls
Always felt this movie was underrated.
UA-cam video ideas 💡?

I’m here I made it whoooo
Lets go!
Saw Val Kilmer. Knew I was in for a good one.
You left out how the 2 love birds got 6 months to enjoy each other's company. On the journey back to earth.
Can you do one on CONGO
Absolutely! Thats a good one :)
Perhaps they shoulda tried saying “I surrender” to Amee . Probably woulda worked .
Thanks for the video!! See you later!! Stay safe.😊 I highly recommend the 2021 psychological horror thriller Last Night In Soho, where an aspiring fashion designer finds herself in 1960's London, but finds out the dark side behind the glitz and glamour.
I'll check it out! Thanks Shaine :)
Well done video.
Do The Ancient Enemy from The Phantoms.
What about a break down of the movie " In Tall Grass" or " The Tall Grass" ?
Sounds great!
I loved this movie as a kid, and the robot scared the hell out of me
That robot scared me too. Not much cover on mars surface. No guns around. Not even a heavy steel pipe to defend yourself. And I think it's eye is the only vulnerable part of it. But if that thing was built today you don't have to worry because half the time it would just stand still downloading massive software updates. 😁
Please review The Strain
Okay!
@@filmcomicsexplained yay! Thank you
Why the fuck does it sound like Elon Musk is making this movie a reality.I have a bad feeling about this...
So a ship that was built in orbit of Earth... Over a ten year period of time was not insulated for a solar flare? Solar flares that hit Earth literally all the time... Ok.
You can't expect Hollywood to actually research anything.
@@Here_is_Waldo Sadly you have a point.
My guess is the solar flare insulation warranty was not renewed.
@@pbxn-3rdx-85percent Excuse me we have been trying to reach you about your space ship warranty. lol
Bringing insects that can eat anything back to earth sound like a really great idea...... For a followup horror movie.
Great work thank yoU
That was educational honestly I thought the nematodes where gonna be the main antagonist
I thought this was just a dream from years ago!
Oh wooow, I have seen this a long time ago! I had no memories of this at all
Love this movie. One of the great Mars movies from my childhood
I remember watching this as a kid and thought they really went to Mars to film it.
Great video dude! Im glad this didn't seem as scary or overbearing as something like aliens would be. I do have a quick suggestion. Could you do and overview of amazon prime's Outer Range? Its a really good 8 episode series they released that I was quite impressed with.
I'll check it out! Thanks :)
@@filmcomicsexplained no thank you!! I love the channel and your content! One of my favorites honestly!
Please do Mission to Mars next 😊 I actually liked that movie even though it had awful reviews
I love mission to mars too.
Yep Mars the Dead Planet. You know especially after the core burnt out and it lost its atmosphere or at least most of it.
Funny thing, despite its reputation, I genuinely remember liking this movie when I saw it first.
Did he ever do the tv series red dwarf funny show it was a sci fi comedy from the bbc channel
Believe it or not Val Kilmer almost tanked this movie like he did with the island of Dr moreau or however you spell it.
I don’t know why, but I thought this was about the movie, “The Angry Red Planet” and thought you were gonna talk about that Wolf Bat thing and the giant Cyclops amoeba. Lol
Adding that to the list now, coz that sounds awesome! lol
@@filmcomicsexplained happy to hear. Lol.
Mission to Mars kicks this movie in the nuts. but I do love this movie but mission to Mars is in my top 3 favorite of all time
I liked this movie better than the competition, Mission To Mars. This is a small detail, but, for example, I liked the characters' names. They were all unique and interesting to be memorable years ago.
I forgot how loaded this cast was.
