Uh, oh.\u00a0 So naturally, when he gets in trouble with Mom, what\u2019s the perfect response?\u00a0 I wish I didn\u2019t have a mom.<\/p>\n<p>I guess Milo forgot about the old adage, be careful what you wish for, because no sooner does night fall, than guilt sets in and on getting out of bed to apologize to Mom, sees her being whisked away on a spaceship!\u00a0 Mom is being taken away from him!\u00a0 Determined to save her, Milo stows away in the ship and soon finds himself soaring through the skies and landing on&#8230;you guessed it &#8211; Mars.\u00a0 Red on the outside as we have seen through our own JPL rovers, underground, there is a vast compound that goes deep into the core of the planet.\u00a0 Multi-layered, there is drab, disinfecting, order and discipline to rival that of\u00a0 Imperial storm troopers.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5732\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mars3.jpg\" alt=\"mars3\" width=\"400\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mars3.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mars3-300x127.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Discovered by the Martians, Milo is taken captive and imprisoned while his Mom is taken unconscious to some other area within the Martian compound.\u00a0 Crying, angry, pounding away at his prison, Milo must save Mom.\u00a0 But how?\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t take long though before help arrives in the form of Gribble &#8211; another Earthling whose mom was taken away 20 years ago.\u00a0 Like Milo, he tried to save his Mom.\u00a0 Sadly, Gribble was unsuccessful and became stranded on Mars, left to create a world for himself underground.\u00a0 Although a self taught technical genius, Gribble\u2019s social skills are stalled at age 10 given that he has been in hiding with no human contact or education. To Gribble, the world is still 1985.<\/p>\n<p>Happy to have a friend, Gribble teams up with Milo in his quest to save Mom, but Gribble plans to drag this out as long as possible as he fears being alone again.\u00a0 With enough exuberance and joy to fill the entire planet, Gribble is uncontainable as he shows Milo his lair, lays out his plans for the future.\u00a0 Milo, on the other hand, is rapidly becoming an adult as he focuses on the dire situation of his mom, with a ticking clock rapidly running down until her demise.\u00a0 You see, MARS NEEDS MOMS to program its Nannybots as they don\u2019t believe that child-rearing should be done by Martians, deeming it a waste of time.\u00a0 Problem is, is that on programming the Nannybots with essence of moms, moms disintegrate.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5734\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mars5.jpg\"

galore, Milo and Gribble press on with their mission, and soon gain the help of a rebel Martian named Ki.\u00a0 Happy, spritely and energetic, Ki isn\u2019t your typical Martian.\u00a0 She speaks English thanks to pilfering some data obtained from other kidnapped moms and observations of earth habits.\u00a0 But the date she\u2019s studied is all from the 1960&#8217;s and early 70&#8217;s filled with flower power and groovy things of the time.\u00a0 Forming a tightly knit triumvirate, the three set out on the most fantastical and dangerous adventure of their lives.<\/p>\n<p>Seth Green gives the physical performance for the motion capture of Milo while Seth Duskey does the voicing.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 According to Green, \u201cwhen you\u2019re making a movie like this with skin tight velcro\u00a0 suits and dots all over your face&#8230;harnesses banging around with each other, you feel the camaraderie [with other actors] very easily.\u00a0 Here, that camaraderie is with Dan Fogler aka Gribble.\u00a0 The biggest challenge for Fogler, Green and the other actors was the motion capture performance process.\u00a0 For Fogler, \u201cThe harnesses are incredibly constricting and if you are a person of girth as I am (laughing)&#8230;&#8230;\u201d\u00a0 Key to the process for Fogler is that \u201cYou get a taste of seeing what its like to be a stunt person which is COOL.\u00a0 It\u2019s like you\u2019re doing action movie stuff.\u201d\u00a0 The physicality of both Green and Fogler is outstanding.\u00a0 As for Fogler, he is hysterical and buffoonish just like a grown up who&#8217;s still a kid, but he brings this beautiful sincerity to Gribble. \u201cI love playing sad clowns.\u00a0 Hysterical characters who have a lot of pain inside.\u00a0 That\u2019s Gribble.\u00a0 He\u2019s a huge teddy bear with the brain of a 10 year old but a complete genius.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5731\"

sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Elisabeth Harnois captured my attention with this great energy and elan as Ki.\u00a0 For Harnois, motion capture is the highlight of the job.\u00a0 \u201cI enjoy the process SO much and the way you get to engage with other actors.\u00a0 It\u2019s very much like theater.\u201d\u00a0 And of course, \u2018[Flying in harnesses] is so fun.\u00a0\u00a0 They really let us do stuff that in any other film, we probably wouldn\u2019t be allowed to do.\u00a0 It was painful but it was also really fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Joan Cusack is the epitome of \u201cmom.\u201d\u00a0 A mom herself with a son named Miles, even Cusack admits there were times she fell so completely into the role of Mom that she would say \u201cMiles\u201d instead of Milo.\u00a0 As with all the other actors, this was also Cusack\u2019s first time shooting in motion performance.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cIt was almost like you\u2018re going back to childhood, like you\u2019re playing where you have to imagine everything.\u00a0 You get to imagine again, which is kind of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full

improvisational roots with The Groundlings, for Sterling, motion capture is like manna from heaven.\u00a0 \u201cWe loved it! It was so free, so liberating and so creative.\u00a0 Where you had to be creative in how you saw the set and how you saw the things you were dealing with because there wasn\u2019t anything there.\u00a0 Just some tape.\u00a0 You really had to go to your acting and to your visual conception of everything.\u00a0 It was so different.\u00a0 You didn\u2019t have to be boggled down\u00a0 with hair and make-up or the lighting.\u00a0 It was so amazing.\u201d\u00a0 Also amazing, was the creation of the Martian language which Sterling had to speak.\u00a0 Described as \u201creally fun and different. There are some words they definitely created and made something out of so we could consistently use them as part of the Martian language. [Other times] I didn\u2019t have to memorize anything.\u00a0 It was great making up my own thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Written by Simon and Wendy Wells, and directed by Simon, according to Wendy, \u201cit took about a year [to write the screenplay].\u00a0 We start up with a kernel of idea from the book and then wrote a novella of about 100 pages to see where it would take us.\u201d\u00a0 For Simon, \u201cThe book has incredibly powerful tentpoles.\u00a0 First,\u00a0 the awful moment where the kid is rude to his mother and then the sort of redeeming of that when he really discovers what a mother\u2019s love means &#8211; that a Mum will give her life for her child&#8230; Finding stuff to do along the way, well, take that thematic idea and build more characters who relate to that thematic idea and explore the territory that is implicit in that thematic idea.\u00a0 It fleshed out fairly easily finding more to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The dialogue is realistic with Milo&#8217;s questions for Gribble of why, why, what, where, how. Similarly, the innocence of Gribble and Ki is celebratory with wide-eyed wonder.\u00a0\u00a0 And the mother-son dynamic&#8230;perfect.\u00a0 How many kids haven\u2019t tried feeding the cat or dog unwanted food, or thrown fits about taking out the trash, or tried to skirt around a deal with mom or dad and &#8220;reinterpret&#8221; verbiage. And how often has every kid yelled at their parents, wishing they didn&#8217;t have them.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5738\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mars10.jpg\" alt=\"mars10\" width=\"400\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mars10.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mars10-300x177.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As director, Simon, along with his technical team of magicians &#8211; Doug Chiang, Production Designer; Kevin Baillie, VFX Supervisor; Huck Wurtz, Animation; Robert Presley, Director of Photography; and Anthony Shafer, Stereoscopic (3D) supervisor\u00a0 &#8211; turn MARS NEEDS MOMS into a flight of fantastical.\u00a0 And let me tell you, these guys are the best in the business.\u00a0 Utilizing state of the art motion performance technology, including the new Kabuki Mask which allows for capture of full facial expression, the result is the finest motion capture performance film ever done, thanks to 120 stage cameras capturing 360 degree motion.\u00a0 Lensed in 3d (not post-production conversion), Shafer and team developed their own 3D camera system.\u00a0 And then we toss in animation which is impeccably and beautifully executed by Wurtz and his department.\u00a0 And I have to admit, my favorite visual sequence in the film is the discovery of the Ancient Underground.\u00a0 Filled with wonder, it is breathtakingly exquisite with 3D only adding to the magic of\u00a0 the dancing vibrant color and light.\u00a0 Overall color palettes are defining and expressive.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5736\" src=\"http:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mars7.jpg\" alt=\"mars7\" width=\"400\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mars7.jpg 400w, https:\/\/behindthelensonline.net\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/mars7-300x126.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>What I particularly appreciate is the nod to JPL and the creation of visuals that while based on the original Breathed illustrations, are in keeping with the surface feeds we&#8217;ve been receiving from the Mars rovers.
