I thought this film was actually very very good. Zombies on Mars with a thoughtful dash of humanity, that while subtle is incredibly touching in its own way considering ehm...zombies on Mars. 9 years 9 months ago -

A decent cast, nice effects, some atmosphere, realistic space mission science... So why doesn't The Last Days on Mars do much for me? Well, principally, I think it blows its intriguing "life was found on Mars" premise on clichéd zombie movie tropes. I couldn't think of a duller proposition. The threat of bringing back an invasive infection or alien parasite/predator from another planet is nothing new, but I can name examples with more interesting monsters (Alien chief among them, but even Screamers has more ingenuity). Heck, I feel like Doctor Who remade this with a more interesting cast in The Waters of Mars and I still didn't care for it much. So even the bleak ending wasn't much of a surprise, but I somehow liked that third act better than the rest. First act - a bit slow and procedural. Second act - the zombie stuff we've seen many times before. Third act - things go from bad to worse to worst in a pleasant (if that's the word for it) way. So while Last Days isn't a complete dud, it's not a must-see. 3 years 7 months ago -
