They filmed much of “Red Planet” (an epic Hollywood flop) on some quarry or other and they painted a huge area of the ground reddish-orange to make it look like Mars.
It was about people going to Mars to find a way to save Earth from ecological-catastrophe.
A bit ironic if you ask me.
WIKI pointed out some errors in the film:
During a conversation between Burchenal and Gallagher, Burchenal mistakenly lists the 4 letters of genetic code as A, G, T, and P. The correct letters are A, G, T, and C.[4] Burchenal also calls the Martian insects “nematodes”, which are microscopic unsegmented worms rather than the beetle-like omnivorous insects of the film.
Due to significant scientific inaccuracies, NASA refused to serve as a scientific adviser for the film. “The science was just so off the wall that eventually we felt, ‘You guys go ahead and make your movie.’ If there’s something that’s going to be so misleading to the public that we don’t want to participate, then we’ll say no,” said Bert Ulrich, a NASA spokesperson, adding: “The big thing is, we want to make sure we’re not misleading the public completely.”[5]
Sez the yahoos that are promoting AGW lies. F*** off NASA.
There were a lot of very basic inaccuracies. Even a layman could have spotted the nematode screw up.
I liked the movie “Pandorum” but it irritates me to see the text on the screen laying out the scene saying the ship is 500,000,000 miles from earth when the show takes place some 12 light years from earth.
