MARS NEEDS MOMS

Who's your audience for this film?

It's too big for little kids.  It's too tame for bigger kids.  There's nothing here to attact young girls.  Pre-teen boys are looking for something more suited to teenagers.

Didn't the filmmakers learn anything from TITAN A.E?

Film is a waste.  Maybe if the mother had played a bigger role.  The emotional core is implied at rather than hit hard during the movie.  For the film to work, you had to have emotional moments when your audience chokes up.  That didn't come close to happening here.

Maybe if every chore the son hated doing came into play in the attempt to save his mother, the film might have been stronger.  The story clearly isn't strong enough to hold our interest. 

Maybe the mother should've drilled certain behavior and rules into the son's head in the beginning - those things could have then come into play later on.

I don't get how new martians can be born if the sexes are separated at birth.

This film shouldn't have made it off the drawing board.
