Robert Cashill
Zero gravity.
Paul Tatara
A hardware-based endurance test that looks spectacular and is only slightly more exciting than a nine-hour cricket match.
Owen Gleiberman
[The actors] stand around mouthing dry as Martian dust dialogue.
John Anderson
Any movie that requires this much narration-background, plot line and introductions to each and every character-is as deprived of oxygen as outer space.
Jonathan Foreman
Red Planet isn't as bad as the year's first abysmal Martian movie, Mission to Mars, but it's pretty close.
Stephen Holden
What human speech manages to break through the tedious, impenetrable jargon is so compressed and weighted with exposition that it feels more like notes for an outline than actual conversation.

Kevin Thomas
There's precious little sense of adventure, suspense or excitement and no sense of fun.

Transcendence
Dr. Will Caster is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him.
However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed—to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany), both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can...but if they should.
Their worst fears are realized as Will's thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him.
