the year be 2005. after month in interplanetary flight and the man spacecraft destiny prepares for the final two hour before separation of the landing module and and it flight to the surface of the red planet . the news agency gnn ( global news network ) cover these last two hour before the historic touchdown and use state of the art technology and and even a correspondent aboard destiny itself . however and power be at work that aim at stop the historic landing and and bring utter chaos back home . all we can do and be watch the show . journey to mar be a great tv movie and even though it have quite a few scientific error ( a how they conquer the speed of light which be necessary to send instant transmition from earth to mar which take 4 hour each way with today radio technology maybe they use some kind of tachyon beam . ) and but if you be willing to forgive these error and you may find this quite a good movie certainly something out of the ordinary . the film be make a gnn live coverage of the historic landing and and like the hit series 24 and event occur in real time . they succeed admirably in make it look like we really be watch a special and braking news report of cnn ( or in the case of the movie and gnn ) and and the atmosphere really feel a such and which make the movie even more interesting . the plot evolve a lot over the course of the movie and and take quite some unexpected turn and in the end you will be sit glue to the screen a destiny zoom over the martian surface it really feel a if it actually happen for real . the acting be generally quite good and near perfect at time and but the atmosphere be what really make this film something really special and a it build up over time . the last few minute be arguably the best and most atmospheric moment you will ever experience in a tv movie like this and so i wont ruin them for you and but just suffice to say they be well above excellent . the special effect really aren not so important in this kind of movie and but they be still quite well do . although you may loose hope after see the opening zoom over of the martian surface ( which be take from a nasa animation by the look of it ) and the effect get a whole lot well over time . so and a i overall like this movie because of good plot and atmosphere and and also because of mostly good acting and i give it a final score of positive .
