Tim Burton movies

Mars attacks¡

“Mars attacks¡” was the eight Burton film on Hollywood, was made in 1996; this is a science fiction movie with a touch of comedy, all his movies gives them their special style, with a dark and a bit of black humor.

The movie is about an alien invasion, the president of the United States wants a peaceful relationship but the mars ignore attempts by President and attack the planet using laser guns; in this movie the aliens play with the historic monuments, the Big Ben, the Eiffel tower, the Taj Mahal, the Mount Rushmore etc…

The production of the film began in 1996; Jonathan Gems and Tim Burton wrote the script this was a long wait because the Warner Bros changed the writers in several times.

The cast is a bomb¡ first we have Jack Nicholson (The Shining 1980), Pierce Brosnan (Golden eye 1995), Danny DeVito (Batman returns 1992) and a great cast.

The filming start date was mid-August 1995 but was delayed until February 26, 1996.

“Mars attacks” is a spoof of the science fiction movies of the 60´s and again the United States of America are the defenders of the planet of deadly enemies.

We have the corrupt politician, an angry general U.S. Army, the desperate mother and the sons, a journalist, a reporter and a long list of characters.

Not an excellent movie but is a fun movie with the Tim Burton Style, also this movie is a critical of the U.S. political status and the unity of the nation.

The film follows several characters, with no apparent connection between them but with a common purpose: stay alive and kill mars; the most fun characters are the aliens because they have a fun personality, they laugh at everything and their language is very original.

There are so absurd and comical scenes; this is a great movie to have a god time no more. The special effects are very decent for that year the animation was created by “Industrial Light & Magic” these animations are so credible also in some parts the errors of the effects are very notorious but this is the idea, the spoof of the poor effects of the past films.

In conclusion this is a movie for entertainment and live a moment of laughter no more; I recommend this movie for people who like science fiction and comedy together
