Mars may need moms, but apparently audiences aren't too keen on them -- or at least the concept of moms being kidnapped by aliens.

Last week, Disney's "Mars Needs Moms" made its big debut. Well, "big" may be a bit of a stretch. The 3D CG film is currently on track to become one of the biggest box office flops of all time. Let's think about that. It's not the worst of the year or the decade, but actually of the entire existence of cinema. The Independent is even calling it the catalyst that will kill the 3D boom. Wow. That's some heavy lifting, wouldn't you say?

Those estimates may still be a little premature. However, "Moms" did manage to sink "Yellow Submarine," a remake that was to be the next Disney/Robert Zemeckis stop-motion adventure.

Frankly, it seemed doomed to the start, considering the film's whopping $150 million budget. Yes, these "Moms" do have expensive tastes. To date, the film has only recouped $17.5 million.

Hopefully Mars does indeed need moms, because Disney probably isn't too big on them right now. Let's read on to see if the movie is something you'll want to catch before it's gone -- which will probably be pretty soon.

Here is what Disney says:

"Take out the trash; eat your broccoli -- who needs moms, anyway? Nine-year-old Milo finds out just how much he needs his mom when she's nabbed by Martians who plan to steal her mom-ness for their own young. Mars Needs Moms showcases Milo's quest to save his mom -- a wild adventure in Disney Digital 3D and IMAX 3D that involves stowing away on a spaceship, navigating an elaborate, multi-level planet and taking on the alien nation and their leader. With the help of a tech-savvy, underground earthman named Gribble and a rebel Martian girl called Ki, Milo just might find his way back to his mom -- in more ways than one."

Here is what reviewers say:

"The 3D in Mars Needs Moms works best when our heroes are falling, tumbling and plummeting down vast alien landscapes, into giant piles of trash. It's good, but the combination of 3D with the capture-tech of this film almost works to push you out of the story rather than suck you into it." - Matt Fowler, IGN

"The extraterrestrial setting for Mars Needs Moms makes the film a perfect example of  a story with the potential to be advanced by this form of technology. The effectiveness of Wells’ action sequences is amplified when the outer space dramatics are sweeping through the audience." - Justine Ciarrocchi, Screen Crave

"Only in its roller-coaster centerpieces does Mars Needs Moms gain a small measure of visual panache, hurtling about with an abandon otherwise lacking in its race-against-time saga. Yet even in those instances, imagination is in short supply, with rubbery heroes repeatedly plummeting (down chutes, primarily) or hopping and running in slow motion—images that (to state what has now become the obvious) are seldom enhanced by pedestrian IMAX 3-D effects." - Nick Schager, The Village Voice
