Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Claudio Carvalho A seven-man crew of international specialists formed by Commander Andre Vishniac (José Sancho); engineer Luca Baglioni (Vincent Gallo); doctor Jenny Johnson (Maria de Medeiros); astrobiologist Fidel Rodrigo (Joaquim de Almeida); pilot Susana Sánchez (María Lidón); geologist Herbert Sagan (Danel Aser); and pilot Lowell (Johnny Ramone) travels to Mars to explore the planet. On the arrival, Lowell stays in orbit in the mothership while the crew lands on Mars. However their spacecraft crashes on the planet and Vishniac breaks his neck. They learn that they are stranded in Mars and Lowell returns to Earth to bring a rescue team. Soon Luca calculates the oxygen, water and supplies and concludes that there are enough for only two of them survive until an eventual rescue team comes to Mars twenty six months later. They decide that the engineer Luca and doctor Jenny should be the ones to stay in the spacecraft due to their specialties. Susan, Rodrigo and Sagan wear their spacesuits to explore the planet and die. But while there is life, there is hope."Stranded" is an anguishing low-budget sci-fi developed in very slow pace that builds up tension. The plot is realistic and the pragmatic Luca is a hateful but coherent character. The beautiful cinematography shows the arid landscape of Mars as a hopeless environment for human life. The surprising conclusion gives hope to the survivors to be rescued one day alive. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not Available

phovusle It is a flawed movie. Yes. But it was fascinating. And for me that it all that counts. There was obviously not enough budget. But looked at the movie with an art-house-expectation it works just fine. (because It really doesn't matter how good FX is in a movie like this) The atmosphere was there. The actors where perfect for this kinda-genre, and the visuals where nice.Sadly this was not the beginning of "Luna's" career as a director, but the end as it seems. I think she got misunderstood and I would wish that "Stranded" would get some art-house cult-following. But I guess this will never happen. At least I hope Luna will get out of the direct-to-video-ghetto.

MartianOctocretr5 Photos of Mars show canals, rock formations resembling a human face, immense valleys, and weird designs. So, Earthlings (who are all from Spain, which is coincidentally where the film was made) send a group of explorers to see just what it all means, if anything. From the title, it's pretty obvious what happens to these pioneers, when they arrive at the Red Planet.More of the film seems to occupy itself with character study than a study of Mars. There's a lot of arguing between the marooned crew members, until your ears start to bleed. Luka says three must die, which makes everybody mad, for some reason. As annoying as he is on that issue, his request of a fellow astronaut will prove this clown a total schmuck. One of the funniest lines is Dr. Jenny's rebuke to this gloomy Eeyore goof ball. Just as you've had enough of the mono tonal banter of that "genius" Luka to choke on, the film finally concerns itself with exploring Mars.The imagery inside the spacecraft isn't bad, and the acting is decent enough. The exteriors seem based on the then recent photography from the Martian surface, and are pretty impressive: an endless desert imbued with a red hue. As the explorers embark on what will probably be a suicide walk, things start to perk up and get interesting. After diverting from a space exploration story to a survival story, the film makes a welcome return to the spirit of wonder that the mysterious Martian world offers. What the astronauts encounter poses more questions than it answers. This is the essential sci-fi approach, and it works fairly well in this film.This movie may have gotten overlooked in the shuffle of movies about Mars that came out around the same time. It may not have had a budget equal to some of the others, but it stands on its own pretty well. Not a bad way to spend a rainy afternoon.

kevin-1800 Stranded is by far one of the five worst films i've seen. But, it's that rare film animal that is so bad it must be seen to be believed. enjoy at your own risk. The English version appears to have been overdubbed, which only adds to the fun, creating a pseudo-kung-fu-sci-fi sub-genre. Vincent Gallo plays, of course, the tough guy American. He, and his beard, are unbearable. Somehow the producers must have gotten their hands on a first-rate spaceship set from another film, because 95% takes place inside this tiny capsule. The claustrophobia of the capsule mirrors the fact that your intelligence is dwindling the longer you watch the film. The best part about Stranded, however, are the 'weightless scenes.' I can see the director yelling 'Walk slowly! Wave your arms! Pretend like you're weightless!' into his megaphone. Watch Stranded, and you will really really appreciate 'Speed II.'
