Should Be Left On Mars

Well earth is where we all live and it one of the popular planet in the solar system. But lately one planet has been seen more times on the big screen. It is Mars and most of the Mars films that have been out (Mission to Mars, Red Planet) have been bad. Well here another Mars film to add to the list it’s called The Ghost Of Mars. 

It Mars 2176 A.D Mars has become a dark and mysterious planet for an over populated Earth 640,000 people living on the Mars. A lot of the people work in the mines looking for Natural Resources. On one of their retune digs they unleash a long dormant Martian civilization which is in a form of air that takes over humans and make them go crazy and start to kill people. 

But Mars has some new visitors a group of Mars police led by Commander Helena Braddock (Pam Grier) and Lt Melanie Ballard (Natasha Henstridge), Descanso (Liam Waile), Bashira (Clea Duvall), Jericho (Jason Statham). They are on Mars to transfer James “Desolation” Williams (Ice Cube) to shining Canyon but when they get there they see that all hell has broken loose as the Melanie and James must work together to stay alive and get out of the city. 

The Ghost of Mars was not that good it was so bloody and did not make no sense let me tell you why.

 

Good

  1. The location look good.
  2. The acting was ok even so the story was not that good.
  3. The makeup look good. Some of the killers look like skeletons and really played the part.
  4. The Score was good.

 

Bad

  1. The story did not make sense I got the idea of the film but they did not go into detail on how the stuff go there.
  2. The film was too bloody I like horror film but this is a sci fi movie and it had more bloody than an average Horror film.
  3. The film was too long they could have cut out some of the scenes and still been a bad film.
  4. One scene one of the bad guys when on fire I swear he looks like Michael Meyers from the Halloween movies.

 

Overall The Ghost of Mars was bad I was hoping it was going to be a better movie but after seeing it i wish i didn't see it. It better to watch on video than in theaters because it is cheaper.
