ReviewsVariety - ...[A] continually inventive, parodistic sendup of alien invasion movies....The technically brilliant picture possesses a quirkily, somewhat facetious insider tone..., Entertainment Weekly - "...[A] giddily satiric epic....Escalates into full Burtonian madness..." -- Rating: B+

Additional InformationDirector 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 WORLD--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), singer Tom Jones (as himself).

    As ever Music Magpie delivered on time, and exactly what I wanted. Arrived in a sturdy cardboard envelope. DVD case was perfect, DVD disc has very minor occasional scratches but I doubt very much it will affect playback. Good job. Again!

    This film is just so cool and so greatly entertaining! I just love it! The music, the characters, the places, the humour, and of course those blimmin' Martians! Earth is under attack! Mars Attacks! Nice Planet, We'll Take It! Watch this film to see the drama unfold and have a really great laugh in the process. An amazing film. Miss this one at your peril! :)

  • Funny, classic and Jack. Nicholisin

    The story is very good about martians invading earth and how the humans react to it. It is a very fun family film I watched it with my kids and they loved how silly the martians were. The dvd sent to me was very good.

  • Mars Attacks - DVD

    If you made this film today it would cost a fortune the number of stars & celebrities who appear & who are quite happy to send themselves up - a course take on bygone budget alien films of the 50's & 60's - just daft humour and obvious plotlines but who cares, its fun & engaging!
