Lot's wrong. It's mainly fantasy, like the Mars Trilogy but speeded up even more and more fudging of the numbers.
There are genuine proposals to terraform Mars, especially the Mars society proposes to do it - they suggest around a thousand years to get as far as a CO2 atmosphere with trees only, no animals. But there are also lots of potential issues with the idea too.
This is pro terraforming, and more accurately describes how they think of it:

I'm very sceptical of it myself though as something we could really do. It is great fun as an intellectual idea to explore.
SOME OF THE PROBLEMS FOR TERRAFORMING GENERALLY
It is not at all clear that we can terraform Mars, and if it is possible, with current technology, it’s a thousands of years, or perhaps a 100,000 year megatechnology project. There are so many questions. How sure can we be that we will continue such a project, when it is likely to cost billions of dollars a year and need support from Earth for thousands of years?
The Mars trilogy is science fiction and the optimistic real world estimate from the Mars Society takes a thousand years to a stage where trees can grow but no animals or birds yet, and humans need aqualung like closed system breathing kits to get around. And is based on assumptions about the amount of dry ice on Mars which are not yet confirmed, and doubts have been cast about how much dry ice still remains there.
Do we have the scientific understanding needed for it? We have never terraformed a planet, and with all our technology on Earth, we find it hard to just keep the CO2 levels on Earth from rising by tens of parts per million. Would it unterraform as easily as it terraformed or go to some undesirable end state. Is it possible at all?
What about accidental planet transformations, where lifeforms we didn’t mean to introduce change the climate in unexpected ways? And Mars gets much less light than Earth, so an Earth atmosphere would not be warm enough for Mars without planet scale thin film mirrors to double the amount of light reaching Mars, or industrial levels of production of artificial greenhouse gases (200 half gigawatt nuclear power stations to supply power, and 11 kilometers of fluorite ore mined per century to make the gases).
Are we confident that this is what our descendants a thousand years from now will want us to do for them? Will they be pleased that we started the project so soon and made Mars just as they wanted it, or will they be frustrated by our failed projects, and lament the pristine Mars they would wish to be able to study and possibly transform for themselves?
