Default A reflecting film for heating planets

I'd have thought a huge polly tunnel might have been more efficient. How do
you keep a big enough reflector pointing at the right place.

The big problem with Mars is that

It has no strong magnetic field so no radiation protection to speak of
Low atmospheric pressures
Very bad dust problem!
I imagine the best place to be would be a few hundred feet underground.

The parabolic film mirror placed in space could heat up local areas of
planets, Mars, for example.
