Mars Attacks! [Blu-ray] [1996]

This movie is hilarious. Wore out my first copy !!

Such a fun movie for it's time and such an all star cast of actors. Watching it on Blu Ray was a treat to see everything so crisp and clear!

One of my favorite Tim Burton films ever. Needs a 4K release

Mars Attacks! is a fun nod to the classic and often very cheesy era of science fiction movies. It's also based on the old Topps trading cards from 1962. I originally saw this movie in the theater as a kid and while I'd say that it doesn't quite hold up to those old nostalgic memories it is certainly still very enjoyable with more than a few solid laughs. The designs of the Martians themselves are great as well as those of the flying saucers which are clearly heavily inspired by Ray Harryhausen's designs for the 1956 film Earth vs. The Flying Saucers. Mars Attacks! features a large ensemble cast of actors who are all terrific in their roles. It's a worthy movie for your collection.

With stars and cameos galore, Mars Attacks! is a fun romp that turns classics like War of the Worlds on its head. Jack Nicholson is at his best in two roles as the POTUS and a Las Vegas hotel owner looking to provide luxury accommodations to the invading Martians. Who can top Michael J. Fox and Sara Jessica Parker as a married couple both fighting for ratings with their respective diametrically opposed TV networks, while a prominent scientist, played by Pierce Brosnan, falls for her during the invasion. When can we expect to see Tim Burton come up with a sequel to this 1996 spoof?

This purchase replaces a "lost" copy of another great Tim Burton" flick. Wonder what might have happened to my "lost" copy?

ACK ACK! This too-often-overlooked gem by Tim Burton is packed full of celebrity cameos and mid-90s sci-fi comedy silliness. Pairs well with Galaxy Quest and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Oh...yes...a classic! Loved all the actors...except the dog headed lady. Jack was the best...especially when he blows his top! But he dies...well...not so honorable.
