Goofs:
Revealing mistakes: In the orbiter, Bowman just restored power and oxygen, and is trying to restore communications - as she is flipping through a bunch of switches, in rapid succession, one switch can be seen breaking off and falling. She continues the scene without giving any importance to the switch. more
Quotes:
[first lines]
Commander Kate Bowman: [narration] By the year 2000 we had begun to over populate, pollute, and poison our planet faster than we could clean it up. We ignored the problem for as long as we could. But we were kidding ourselves. By 2025, we knew we were in trouble. And began to desperately search for a new home - Mars.
Commander Kate Bowman: For the last 20 years we've been sending unmanned probes with algae, bio-engineered to grow there and produce oxygen. We're going to build ourselves an atmosphere we can breathe. And for 20 years it seemed to worked. It looked like we pulled it off. We'd done it. Then all of a sudden, oxygen levels started to drop. We don't know why.

Yet Another Twist On The Trip-To-Mars Idea, But A Good One, 16 August 2003
Author: Robert Vann Smith (robertvannsmith@hotmail.com) from Los Angeles, California, U.S.A.

This movie was released the same year as "Mission To Mars" and both movies had an interesting twist to them.

While "Mission To Mars" dealt humans "visiting" the planet and dealing with the "face on Mars" and a previous civilization living on that planet at one time, "Red Planet" dealt with humans trying to "colonize" the planet but running into a problem they didn't count --- life still being there.

I would suggest viewing both movies as companions to each other.
