OK ... I was bored :boring: and I have another 45 minutes until my next lecture so I decided to tell you a little more about Red Planet. <br>
(There are plenty of "spoilers" in this .. so beware, if you are going to be watching the film soon)
Simon was the 4th or 5th main actor in the film. He was one of the two civilians on the mission to mars. :lol:
Simon was very cute .. :drool: .. despite the facial hair ... which wasn't all that much, anyway. And I suppose it would have been somewhat umm... inconvenient to keep up the shaving for 6 months on a spaceship
... but the rest of the crew did 
He was very cute at the beginning, which is when we see them on the spaceship. He was mostly wearing a cute black shirt and an adorable black hat/cap type thing
My favorite Simon bit (his name was Pettengill btw) was when he took out this huge robot together with Val Kilmer, and they were sort of looking at it, and then Simon stood in front of it, and he was sort of getting ready to throw a few punches at it, but he was just messing around. It was like 2 seconds .. but it was cute :drool:
After that Val Kilmer switched the robot to military mode, and told it to kill Simon (which it didn't .. :doh: ) but Simon was standing there sort of scared :drool: <br>
Apart from that ... I didn't really like the movie <br>It was pretty :boring:... and it didn't really ever reach anything more than that (you sit there desperately waiting until it does). It's just about this mission to mars, where some stuff goes wrong, and how are the poor crew going to get home (aww, shame) and the crew dies off one by one (no, that's not a spoiler, it's just incredibly predictable, hehe) ;D
It could have been a really cool movie, when you consider the theme, and all .. :cool:
It's basically about all the crap the crew encounters, but you probably don't care enough about the crew, to care whether they live or die.
In the end, nothing spectacular is accomplished. They just try to survive .. fail horribly at that .. and our main actor comes home safely and rather predictably
Not only that ... the attempted romance between Val Kilmer and the only female on the crew (Trinity in The Matrix .. I forgot her name) is pathetic and forced as hell. It'll make you :puke:
Hmm .. yeah, that's about it :razz:
Sorry to be so negative .. but I expect alot more out of movies :nerd:
