“Mars Express” moves like a wrecking ball and sports the polish of a big-studio animated production, but has a storytelling arc that’s far more ambitious than the average Hollywood blockbuster. Go to Full Review

Mars Express doesn’t pretend that our concerns [about AI] are out of place, but it breathes new life into its formulaic genre by focusing instead on what technology might want for itself. Go to Full Review

9/10
With the palpable influences of Ghost in the Shell, Blade Runner and even Chinatown, this ambitious film is some of the best animated work in the last couple of years and one of the best sci-fi movies in recent memory. A true gem. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review

eric m 05/13/2024 Mars Express was a really great film. Creative and captivating story showered in a beautiful and dreamy soundtrack. See more WPJ 05/09/2024 Fandango SUCKS! Sold me ticket to a invalid time slot that was also invalid. Way to go. Will never order from Fan-dingle-berry again. See more Andrei 05/08/2024 One of the cyberpunk movies I’ve seen in a long time. First thing that rivals Ghost in the Shell in its depth and world building. See more Kelvin G 05/07/2024 Great mystery story and unique and fluid animation. The voice acting was also very good. The final act felt a bit rushed and I didn't completely understand the end but it was definitely a solid watch. See more Mark C 05/05/2024 It was pretty good. Good storyline. See more Juan Sanmiguel 05/05/2024 It is exploring the idea of what responsibility we have to our creations. See more Read all reviews
