The corny plot has the men being picked off one by one, each by a different adversary, including the mission's pet robot, which gets injured in the crash and emerges like a bear with a thorn in its paw ... in war mode! Much of the dialog is unintentionally hilarious, with the screenwriters shameless enough to include lines like, "Let's bring them home!" Even so, the actors plod valiantly through the script, bringing out what nuances they can find between the lines. Sizemore is easily the standout, while Baker tries to do something with his morally tortured character. Moss is resourceful and tenacious, Kilmer is brave and strong, Bratt is burly and macho. And the weakest link is the veteran, Stamp, who for some reason mutters his zany lines in slo-mo like a 78rpm record played on 33 1/3. Apparently there's a big surprise at the end, but noting happened that I couldn't see coming. Stupid film, but never dull. And the Australian outback makes a great Mars-scape.
