Jeannette Catsoulis
Low key, low budget and low energy, this animated space odyssey from the writer and director Geoff Marslett accompanies three mismatched astronauts to the red planet and the search for new life forms.
Michelle Orange
A memorably odd, mellow affair.
Jon Lindstrom
Roto-ing it all up a notch I admit, I'm generally not a fan of "rotoscoping" live actors, particularly the good ones in this film. But I'm so glad I took the plunge on "Mars." Geoff Marslett's imagined look at America's attempt to populate another planet is at times hilarious (especially Kinky Friedman as POTUS) and even achieves a level of ethos I didn't expect of America's place in the world (or in this case, the universe).
Mike Wilson
Watch this! No idea how this film flew under the radar... it's such a trip. Really well-crafted storytelling and simple but powerful animation.

Deep Space 69: Unrated and Fully Unfurled
"Deep Space 69: Unrated and Fully Unfurled" chronicles the misadventures of a transport ship in outer space led by Jay and his co-captain Hamilton. A send-up to the many humorless sci-fi films and series over the years that take themselves far too seriously, "Deep Space 69" treads lightly on the topic of space exploration and instead focuses on Jay's incessant exploits with the fairer sex and Hamilton's frustration with these foolish missions. For mature audiences.
