Mars Needs Moms Never Movie Review Online
Mars' devil of a dictator insists that the planet's children are best raised by robots with human parenting competence. Much to her son's dismay, a human mother is abducted and relocated to Martian territory. Her son, Milo (Green) with the help of his lunatic of a companion, Dribble (Folger), cops a ride on an alien space ship to reclaim his mother.
The quality of motion capture animation is continually advancing and Robert Zemeckis is certainly no joke. However, I'll confess that I'm not entirely keen on the industry's current 3D frenzy. The debatable overuse of this trend leaves audiences paying more for a visual affect that's not always enhancing the picture (and Disney is notorious for relying on tremendous visuals to outshine their dreadful story-lines). That being said, the extraterrestrial setting for Mars Needs Moms makes the film a perfect example of a story with the potential to be advanced by this form of technology. The effectiveness of Wells' action sequences is amplified when the outer space dramatics are sweeping through the audience.
On the red planet, he meets a human named Dribble who lives above the garbage dump. Milo enlists Dribble's help to rescue his mom, but their plans backfire when they nearly wind up being vaporized by the aliens and their evil supervisor.
I feel a strong need to note the sheer shitty-ness of the vocal performances in this picture. The aggravating noises leaving the mouths of these aliens didn't appear to quite fit their images. (This is why Disney should've hired the beast that is Robin Williams to voice every role in the film).
Mars Needs Moms is just good enough to be disappointing. It settles for so much less than it could be, and in doing so, cheats its characters, its audience and its own credibility. Ultimately, it fails, but it does so like a talented athlete who strayed from his game plan or a skilled chef who prepared something easy to blandly please everyone. Making a decent movie to entertain children is easy and safe. Making one they'll cherish for the rest of their lives involves risk and a willingness to treat them as more than just less intelligent vessels.
That's what is so strange and infuriating about Mars Needs Moms. At times, it lets itself be affecting and really sad. It doesn't shy away from emotion, nor does it cast off quietness. Kids are tougher and more resilient than we give them credit for. Nearly every brilliant animated movie has death and sadness and longing and feelings of inadequacy, but in order to properly sell those scenes, the rest can't be hollow and easy. Mars Needs Moms is too often hollow and easy, undermining its better moments and leaving more astute members of the audience with a lingering sense of what if.
