Customer Ratings & Reviews

You'll need to focus on this one, or you'll miss the plot...

I loved the story and the special effects. Also was kind of scary.

Suspenseful and thought provoking... Liev Schreiber was awesome!

this move was surprising fun to wach. the sfx was well done.

Good movie. I watched it twice already. Worth the purchase.

A sci fi movie that chills and thrills you to the bone.

With the exception of "Shaun of the Dead" I hate zombie movies. This is not because they scare me, but because they bore me. The excellent production values and fine cast made this turkey even more disappointing.

this was a different movie out of this world awesome

I did not like this movie one bit! It's like a recreate of red planer... very similar and also similar to mission to mars, however both of those movies are way better that this one.

Stay away from the movie . It's boring , and it's not great. The movie Doom is similar to what this movie is trying to do . So buy Doom instead .

would not recommend the movie. i thought the story plot was not strong and just lacked the blockbuster quality and special effects I would expect.

This could have been a good a good movie but it went bad FAST. This is movie had no true story line and was a waste of film.

This a slow drawn out moving, No real action, very predictable.

I picked this film up on a whim and frankly it wasn't that bad. If you are here reading this review and have also found the Rotten Tomatoes score, you're possibly teetering on that decision to 'buy.' Apparently this film was shot with a low budget, but despite that - well the acting isn't actually that bad. The effects (SFX), props, costume - etc. like-wise again - not that bad. Is this movie a thought-provoking film about the consequences of exploring Mars? Well, not really. If you do like your films with an occasional adrenaline rush from tension and mental anxiety thrills - it will definitely provide that. 7/10 - Watchable Mars Schlock

While this film has some similarities to "Europa Report", it was disappointing when you discover what they are fighting against. It changes from an SF film to a horror film and if you've seen ALIEN #Who hasn't?#, the plot points are almost identical. Still, it was fun enough for me to pay $5 for the BD on sale #what it would cost to see in a theatre if it came around again#. For most people, it's probably best as a rental. Acting, directing, cinematography all top notch! It's the story that falls down.

I wanted to see this once I saw it on blu ray.com. The reviews from rotten tomatoes though had me skeptical. I have watched other movies from Magnet like The Colony, which was also great, yet had unfavorable reviews. This is another clear case of make your own decisions, go with your own gut, and ultimately buy this movie. It is great! The lead actors, well know Liev Schreiber, Elias Koteas and more are solid as ever. They bring the reality to the screen. I am tired of people claiming Magnet are B class movies or rentals at best, yes some are pretty bad, you just have to know which aren't. The Colony and this are examples of A class movies that compete with any other out there. Magnets main issue is tossing out too much to keep up profit wise, but I dare the huge companies to,produce such fine movies as this one and The Colony on the shoe string budget allotted for these. I highly recommend both these movies and more.

Even with all the terrible reviews of this movie, I still decided to pick it up on Blu-Ray on release day. I actually enjoyed it, it's well acted and directed and is a solid sci-fi suspense movie. The over-all story telling could have been better, but the film is entertaining. I wish the extras would have been a little better. For some reason, sci-fi movies are usually the only type of movies I love to see the behind the scenes of. While this movie has basic standard extras, I wish there was more. The PQ is consistent throughout, however the blacks are not always black and seem cloudy at times. This could be the intended filter on the movie, however I found it distracting and would rather have dark scenes be true black. Audio is solid and I enjoyed cranking this one up to hear the little noises and be blown away by the loud ones. Over-all it is a fun sci-fi flick and any fan of the genre should not hesitate to give this one a watch. Being a Liv Schreiber fan also will help as you progress through the film. Keep in mind this is a low budget independent movie, don't expect Transformers. More Moon style. Recommended!

This movie has some elements of Alien and Walking Dead. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but it could stand a little more character building so that you can relate more to them as the movie progressed.

very enguaging and thought provoking, puts you in an interesting place

Not so action packed as i wanted but still liked it
