A tale of mind vs matter; human vs machine, Mars Express is an entrancing animated crime procedural by way of sci-fi drama. With a gripping central mystery, Mars Express manages to capture its audiences attention through some stellar world building & gorgeous animation. 241
With a sense of self-awareness, the film brings with it enough humour & lightheartedness to avoid getting bogged down in its, perhaps, more interesting themes. Perhaps slightly lost in the sea of its contemporaries, the film still manages to stand on its own for its breezy run time as it explores ideas of self-identity & control. Worth a watch! 962
