Sometimes you want a deep film, sometimes you want escapism and a few shocks and thrills. Ghosts of Mars fits the bill perfectly. It is a very easy film to get into. The tension is palpable as along with the characters you see things rapidly going downhill on this mars colony but don't know exactly why, what is doing this. This leaves ones imagination to fill in the blanks, all you know is that crazyness is everywhere. The sense of dread and tension in the film is palpable as you feel the Ghosts of Mars closing in on the heroes. The film moves along at a good pace and when things finally reach their boiling point the movie delivers the goods in an all out action tour de force.

And to boot the ending delivers an interesting twist.

Who could ask more from a sci-fi film? Interesting premise, tense fast-paced story, great action.

Some sci-fi films try for hyperealism, some suck you into their world and then have some fun with a wink and a nod. This is that film, and frankly thats the only reason I can see that some people don't like it.
