6. 9/10. A pretty decent sci fi movie. All Ethan Hawke wants to do is go to Mars despite his health not being notch. I would definitely say it's an underrated sci fi movie of the 90's just like The Fifth Element. It seemed like it was subtly saying man must try to push himself hard if he wishes to obtain his dream which is out of reach. Uma Thurman, Jude Law, Loren Dean, and Gore Videl are pretty good here.

Vincent: For someone who was never meant for this world, I must confess I'm suddenly having a hard time leaving it. Of course, they say every atom in our bodies was once part of a star. Maybe I'm not leaving... Maybe I'm going home.
Trivia: The staircase in the house of the real Jerome Morrows is actually a resemblance of a DNA structure. Similar to Watson and Crick's model, except for the fact that the staircase has a right-handed turn. The DNA helix is a left-handed turn.
Question: When 'Jerome' has his blood tested with the syringe, and jumps up pretending to be in pain, he puts his own test tube down on the trolley, but the sample from his arm was in the syringe; why does the doctor not realise that it's not his? Is he in on it, or is the syringe suppose to be filling from the test tube, like the finger print capsules?
