Movie Reviews of Christmas On MarsMovie Review: 2 good parts, mostly not Summary: 2 Stars
I liked the innovative spaceship parking job (definitely the highlight of the film), and the initial color swirl thing. But the dialog was slow and repetitive, and the acting was terrible.
Movie Review: One star.....because i can't give it "no stars" - terrible film Summary: 1 Stars
I watched this film on Sundance Channel. I am also NOT a hardcore Flaming Lips fan, though i think they're a very interesting band and i have a couple of their albums. This film, years in the making, is just plain terrible on every level - acting, technical and otherwise. There's no nice way to put it. The plot, if you call it that, is nearly incoherent - something having to do with the impending birth of a baby on a remote space station, a crew member going slowly insane, and the arrival of a mysterious alien (played by Wayne Coyne). The acting is terrible. The dialogue, loaded with profanity, is even worse-than-terrible. Virtually nothing offends me, but the dialogue was so awful and profanity ridden (at one point, i thought it was going to challenge "Scarface" for most 'f-bombs') that i found it just plain juvenile and pointless and it became a chore to sit thru this movie (and it's only 82 minutes long). How Christmasy! Also - no 'real' Flaming Lips songs here, just score. Fred Armisen and Adam Goldberg, among others, show up in this mess. If the intention was to make a bad kitschy film, they needn't have bothered - they could've just rented "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians".
Movie Review: I Tried, I really tried. Summary: 1 Stars
I really wanted to like this thing. I like The Flaming Lips and then whe I saw Fred Armisen I wanted to like it even more . But I couldn't make it past the first half hour. It really started to irritate me.
Intentionally trying to make a "bad" movie rarely works and at least in my case it didn't this time either.
