Review of Mars Attacks! (1996) by Akshatmahajan — 03 Jul 2021
I first watched Mars Attacks! along with my brother. I was too much scared after watching it. After years, when I watched it again I thought how much bad this movie was. Less dramatic, more focus on comedy and cheap special effects.
After I watched it now, I came to know that I was wrong. This movie was never intended to be SciFi drama, director wanted to make it SciFi- dark comedy- satire and he did it beautifully. Movie is great entertainment at it's best. Most of the people may not understand the purpose and the message of the film: it acted as a satire on all action and SciFi movies. I was amazed to see that this movie had big name in it's cast like Jack Nicholson, Danny DeVito, Pierce Brosnan, Michael J Fox, Natalie Portman, Jack Black etc. The special effects were also a funny part, because some of them are very well achieved and some of them are really cheesy; that's their purpose.
Overall, Mars Attacks! is one of those films that you have to see for yourself, and ultimately evaluate.
