If you like this at all, read the book!

Rating: 5/10 (27 October 2000)

I will not fault the movie, because it could not possible put enough into a reasonably long film to explain everything. Having said that, the book by Piers Anthony is far better. Not only does it add more depth and clarity to the entire Mars mystery, but it provides Quaid's thinking also. In a movie where the main character is constantly in mental turmoil, we lose out to the limitations of cinematography.
