Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Grammy-winning song "Approaching Pavonis Mons by Balloon (Utopia Planitia)," from The Flaming Lips' album "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots," originated as the score for a scene in this film. When that scene was cut, the song was placed on the album at the last minute.
- GoofsThe Martian's forehead antennae change angles from scene to scene - sometimes they are nearly straight up, sometimes at a 45 degree angle, and in one scene one is wildly askew.
- Quotes
Major Syrtis: They look like two moths, hovering around that light. Two moths. That's always haunted me. I must've been ten years old. Two little moths, sitting together on the window sill. I don't know why I did it. They were just sitting there, trying to stay alive. Just trying to enjoy their existence. And I just squished them. I wish I could go back, and change it. But I squished them. They never knew some larger force in the universe could show mercy on them. I wish I would have.

These vanity projects are always hit or miss. It's better, of course, if someone with a handle on things (like directing) comes to you first. Like they did with Pee Wee or Weird Al. Now, imagine if Tim Burton approached Wayne...
Well, that didn't happen. Instead, we get unfiltered Wayne Coyne. For the knuckle dragging, mouth breathing fan base, this will put them over the moon with lust and obsessive foaming at the mouth while frantically rubbing themselves with plush Wayne Coyne dolls. For the rest of us remotely curious, this freaking sucks.
An awful, directionless mess of a film. It's not even a music video! It just sucks. Cheap sets are fine... I love Ed Wood! But this is just bloated ego with nothing substantial to say beyond "keep giving me money".
Wow. Yeah, it's that bad.
