Once again, I was tricked by IMDb rating: at the moment of writing, this movie is ranked 179 on the "top rated movies". What an absurd having in mind so many amazing pieces outside the top 250.

My problem is that I didn't know how to look the movie: if I wanted real sci-fi fantasy, why the director wasted so much time at the beginning trying to explain the logic and possibilities for some of Mat's actions. And in few, he was almost successful... But than,after 1/3, the movie is transformed to pure fantasy, with the scenes perhaps suitable for the kids under 8-9 years old. For others - it is just pathetic, stupid, confusing, with clearly expected end, of course. And basically that is the case - I would probably swallow the enormous amount of unrealistic scenes if they were just a bit of prudence and consistency. But with this approach, for me this is really insult for intelligence.

So, except wonderful photography of a invented Mars landscapes, I don't see any reason for wasting time and money watching this overrated illusion.
