Mars Attacks! From Space!

I like Mars attacks, but for such a short film, on repeated viewings it feels far longer than it actually is.

Reave gives us a no nonsense (well mostly nonsense free) version that I enjoyed throughly. Exposition for characters who mostly die anyway are minimalised bringing the Martians and main characters to the foreground. I would nitpick about the sudden appearance of two boys who start shooting, but why would being an Expert in some arcade game make you proficient with real weaponry? so I don't mind that scene not being there. Also there was no Tom Jones as far as I could see but his name was in the credits, otherwise I am still nitpicking as he definitely wasn't missed, unless he had a brief scene in which I didn't notice him, which is to suggest he may have literally been missed by me.

The film is a little short now, but I think it feels like the right length and it feels more like a homage to old 50's sci fi than Burtons original version.

9/10 from me.

I'm afraid I can't be quite as eloquent as Neglify, but anyway. I was never that big of a fan of Mars Attacks! because, despite great visual designs and some funny moments, I found it to be all over the place. I, however, loved every minute of this version. It's much more to the point, much more centered on satire, and much more fun and funny. Technical aspects are perfect. 10/10 in all cathegories.

Ack ack ack. Ack ack. Ack! Ack ack! Ack. Ack ack ack, ack ack ack ack ack. Ack ack ack ack ack, ack ack ack ack ack; ack ack. Ack--ack ack--ack ack ack ack, ack ack ack, ack!

Ack ack - 10/10
