Review of Mars Attacks! (1996) by Drlowdon — 22 Aug 2021

When hundreds of Martians land on Earth, U.S. President James Dale arranges a meeting with them. The ambassador of Mars announces that they "come in peace", but when a dove is released as a symbol of said peace, the Ambassador shoots it before he and the other Martians massacre most of the people at the event.

Mars Attacks is an unusual movie. It's full of A-List starts, yet gives many of them very little to actually do, and the structure often makes it feel as though you're watching a series of unconnected sketches rather than the movie. Having said that. this movie does still provide a decent number of laughs and memorable moments, so if you're looking for something a bit different this is still worth checking out.
