'The Last Days On Mars' A Review

The Last Days On Mars is a scifi thriller about an expedition searching for life on the red planet. The movie is a cookie cutter rehash of every monsters-in-space trope. So obvious it's boring, it achieves neither camp, horror, nor suspense. There is life on Mars, surprise, its bacteria that turns people into zombies.

An excellent cast is given almost nothing to do and nothing to work with. It's depressing watching great actors struggle with such mediocrity. Liev Schrieber, Elias Koteas, and Olivia Williams put in valient efforts with no effect, they seem either unaware of how terrible the finish product will turn out or determined to, by force of will alone, create a watchable movie. There acting isn't bad its what they're saying and what(little) happens in the movie that makes it D.O.A.

The Last Days On Mars makes Ghosts of Mars look like an innovative masterpiece.

Don't See It.
