SO – father and son travel to Mars – meet alien race who have been marooned, scratch that, abandoned there by their own people – how should the story end? Hmmm. Maybe son and dad are having problems of their own? Maybe the son feels like I do – forced to grow up a little too quick and so he’s all alone – so he relates really well with the aliens. Maybe he’s the one who sides with them and convinces his dad that they should try to intervene. As he does, and as they work together to fix their broken ship and facilitate a miraculous alien exit, he realizes that his dad hasn’t abandoned him, but that he has been with him all along. Yes! This is going to be amazing!!!
