About this episode
Our universe holds lots of mysteries, but perhaps the most fascinating for most is the planet Mars, long thought to be the only planet in out solar system that may be the most similar to our own planet, possibly having the ability to sustain life.In Blue Planet Red, director Brian Cory Dobbs interviews a variety of scientists, researchers, and even people on the street about their theories and thoughts on Mars. The film makes some compelling arguments, but it also presents some theories that are just bonkers (Dobbs even warns us, the viewers, before those theories are explained, in a very Rod Serling kind of way). The film, as strange and far out as some of the theories may be, did manage to keep my interest for the nearly two-hour running time, and never succumbs to techno-babble or talking head syndrome, thanks to the many inserts of stock footage and quick cutting. My main complaint with the film, though, is the absence of any titles that introduce us to the speakers and what their credentials are at the time they are speaking on camera. Brian Dobbs was rather vocal about going against convention on the use of titles when he was a guest on the Home Theater United podcast, but in my opinion, they add a bit more credibility while viewing the film.
