«Хорошая планета. Мы ее берем!»
Наша планета подверглась чудовищному нападению. Марсиане, бесстрастные и бездушные существа, эти маленькие зеленые создания, высаживаются в пустыне со своих космических кораблей, а затем наступают на всех направлениях. Столичный Вашингтон, Лас-Вегас и другие города сотрясаются от мощнейших взрывов, разрушениям нет числа… Президент США призывает командование своих вооруженных сил принять меры, однако мнения самих командующих, двух генералов разделились. «Разбить и вернуть их на Марс!», — считает генерал Деккер. «Заключить мир», — возражает генерал Кейси. Дальнейшие события должны продемонстрировать, кто же из них прав.
"Mars Attacks!" is a 1996 sci-fi comedy film that brilliantly melds the campy charm of 1950s B-movies with the distinctive, quirky vision of director Tim Burton. Produced by Warner Bros. Pictures and Tim Burton Productions, the movie is set in the United States and follows the chaotic invasion of Earth by Martians. With a star-studded cast including Jack Nicholson, Glenn Close, and Pierce Brosnan, the film humorously explores human folly and resilience in the face of an extraterrestrial threat. The Martians, with their iconic, high-pitched laughter and destructive ray guns, become an unforgettable symbol of alien invasion in popular culture. The film's plot revolves around the initial excitement and subsequent panic as the Martians land on Earth, promising peace but quickly revealing their true, destructive intentions. The U.S. government, led by President James Dale (played by Jack Nicholson), attempts various strategies to communicate and negotiate with the aliens, only to be met with betrayal and violence. Amidst the chaos, a diverse group of characters, including a nerdy scientist, a B-movie actress, and a grandmother with a penchant for Slim Whitman's music, navigate the absurdity and danger of the Martian invasion. Their individual stories weave together to create a tapestry of humor and heroism that defines the film's unique tone. Tim Burton's signature style is evident throughout "Mars Attacks!" with its vibrant, exaggerated visuals and a mix of dark humor and slapstick comedy. The film's special effects, which blend practical effects with early CGI, contribute to its nostalgic yet fresh feel, paying homage to the sci-fi genre while pushing its boundaries. The Martians themselves, with their bulbous heads and menacing grins, are both terrifying and comical, embodying the film's blend of horror and humor. The soundtrack, featuring a memorable use of Slim Whitman's "Indian Love Call," adds another layer of eccentricity to the film's already quirky atmosphere. "Mars Attacks!" may not have been a commercial success upon its release, but it has since garnered a cult following for its bold, irreverent take on the alien invasion trope. The film's satirical edge, poking fun at government incompetence and human vanity, resonates with audiences who appreciate its blend of absurdity and social commentary. Despite its initial mixed reception, "Mars Attacks!" stands as a testament to Tim Burton's ability to transform a seemingly outlandish premise into a memorable and entertaining cinematic experience.
