Depiction of Mars in Fictional Works, Part IX

This is the final part of a nine part series. In this series, I will discuss how Mars is depicted in various fictional works such as movies, books, and games.

In Part IX, I will discuss about the movie Mission to Mars. The movie reveals that humans are the descendants of an ancient Martian experiment when the Martian ecosystem was destroyed by a large asteroid and the Martians were forced to flee their home planet. “During their evacuation, they dispatched elementary life forms of their own to the nearby planet Earth, which at the time of the Martian evacuation, contained no life forms. Over the billions of years following this ‘seed-scattering,’ these life forms eventually became the humans.”
