    Director Tim Burton unleashes MARS ATTACKS!, a vicious, affectionate, brightly-colored homage to 1950s alien invasion movies. When a shiny silver flying saucer lands in the Nevada desert, a group of skull-faced Martians exit the gleaming craft. Although they claim to be peaceful, they promptly vaporize a gathering of unfortunate Earthlings, kicking off a bizarre high-tech war with wild special effects. This studiously campy sci-fi spoof, based on a series of Topps bubble-gum cards, gleefully parodies not only schlock B-horror movies, but also overblown blockbusters such as INDEPENDENCE DAY. This subversive film is helped along by an all-star cast including Jack Nicholson in dual roles as both a clueless U.S. President (with First Lady Glenn Close) and a Las Vegas sleazebag. The film follows the wacky WAR OF THE WORLDS-like proceedings from the points of view of numerous colorful characters, from the inane U.S. Press Secretary (Martin Short) to a trailer-park family (Lukas Haas and Sylvia Sidney), to singer Tom Jones (as himself).

Mars Attacks!

diane0825 from Tucson, AZ, Dec 9, 2007

Great off-beat comedy. Silly and fun. All star cast and it's amazing to see how some of the actors started out and have evolved.

Great Sci-Fi comedy

Safron from Chicago, Sep 19, 2007

This wonderful movie parodies a lot of serious sci-fi books and movies, but I won't spoil it with the details. If you love science-fiction, buy this movie at this low price and get ready to laugh!

Funny beyond description, Jack Nicholson as the President is a screem.

This movie is funny and unique...destined to become a cult classic if it isn't one already. The animation was very cool, and allowed the fil makers to show that over-the-top gore can be very funny.

Quick shipping and service, but I found the same DVD for a few dollars less at a local store.
