Earth dumb, Mars dumber

Rating: 1/10 (22 November 2005)

Cardboard characters, artificial conflict, big effects, and swiss-cheese plotting make this just the sort of fun you're looking for, if you're 7 years old or younger.
If you thought Independence Day was good sci-fi, you might just enjoy this remake of the 1953 classic sans any intelligent life either here or from Mars.
Tim Robbins, has a quirky role as self described survivor with a self destructive streak, which btw makes as much sense as any other part of the movie.
Gene Barry has a small non-speaking part. Apparently they were afraid if he talked, the movie might be mistaken as a think piece. They needn't have worried.
