press release
Val Kilmer and Carrie-Anne Moss headline the sci-fi adventure Red Planet, an exciting glimpse into a future where humankind's last hope for survival rests on escaping the bounds of Earth and colonizing the cosmos.
In the not-so-distant future, the ecological crisis on Earth has taken a turn for the worse, and humanity's only hope may lie in seeking refuge on neighbouring Mars. After years of unmanned missions to terraform the planet, a crew of astronauts aboard Mars-1 are finally sent to establish Earth's first Martian colony. But a giant solar flare sends their landing module crash-landing on the planet, leaving our pioneers stranded in a harsh crimson wasteland. As the crew battle the elements and rising inner tensions, they soon discover that Mars' newly formed atmosphere has had unexpected and terrifying consequences.
With a stellar supporting cast including Tom Sizemore and Terence Stamp and cinematography by Peter Suschitzky (The Empire Strikes Back), Red Planet is an out-of-this-world spectacle presented here in stunning 4K Ultra HD.
The story's strong point isn't psychological depth or complex relationships, but brainy scientists trying to think their way out of a box that grows smaller every minute
—Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun Times
Underneath the striking visuals this is a throwback to the no nonsense spirit of such seminal sci fi fare as 'Destination Moon.' It's a glorified B movie in the best sense of the term
—Michael Sauter, Entertainment Weekly
Production designer Owen Patterson fully deserves an Oscar nomination. The same goes for Peter Suschitzky, whose vibrant cinematography is a consistent highlight. Mars itself is just as generously envisioned as the ship is
