Synopsis

AWAKE, EARTHLINGS! It's later than you think.

Don’t miss the hilarious frenzy as Tim Burton directs – and Mars Attacks! SEE! Stars that shine across the galaxy. Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, Annette Bening, Pierce Brosnan, Danny DeVito, and a dozen more celebrities! SHRIEK! At mean, green invaders armed with insta-fry ray guns, endowed with slimy, humongous brains – and enlivened with state-of-the-art special effects. GASP! As the U.S. legislature is overwhelmed. (Don’t fear, we still have 2 out of 3 branches of the government working for us.) THRILL! As Earth fights back with an unexpected weapon. Take that, Martians!

Review

Combining some gleefully twisted black humor with plenty of homages and references to schlocky (and not-so-schlocky) alien invasion and sci-fi flicks of the 1950s and '60s, director Burton's magnum opus is the perfect companion piece to his eloquent, intimate masterwork Ed Wood. A parody of the kind of movie Ed Wood only wishes he could have afforded to make, Mars Attacks! is the story of some funny-looking but terribly ill-tempered aliens who declare war on the Earth. Why? Because it's there! An all-star cast plays various hapless Earthlings, most of whom deserve their fate. Great special effects, deliberately designed to evoke memories of afternoon sci-fi matinees, an outstanding score by Danny Elfman and campy, wild-eyed performances by everyone involved all add up to an "A" budget "B" movie.
