Honestly I don't remember much about it except that I know I didn't care much for it at the time.
Make no apologies for what you like though.  I have my fair share of films that seem to get roasted on a continuous basis (Lost World, Island of Dr Moreau, etc, etc,). Call 'em guilty pleasures or what have you.
I would much rather give Mission to Mars another spin than sit through an 80 min film with two French twits sitting around drinking tea contemplating the meaning of their existence.

 Strange how even the most derided films have their supporters, I'm sure there are Battlefield Earth fans out there, I can't point and laugh because there are some really crappy films I'm fond of too, none of them directed by Jack Hill btw (I kid I kid).
