Mars Attacks!

NICE PLANET. WE'LL TAKE IT!

A fleet of Martian spacecraft surrounds the world's major cities and all of humanity waits to see if the extraterrestrial visitors have, as they claim, "come in peace." U.S. President James Dale receives assurance from science professor Donald Kessler that the Martians' mission is a friendly one. But when a peaceful exchange ends in the total annihilation of the U.S. Congress, military men call for a full-scale nuclear retaliation.

    Loved every minute of it! The dialogue was witty, and the chemistry between the actors was fantastic.

    Too much focus on special effects and not enough on the story. It felt like a missed opportunity.

    The soundtrack was the highlight of the film. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie fell flat.

    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.
