Forsaken: Mission Mars

I think I've just been a witness to the worst movie ever made.

I won't waste much of my time with this review, but you should expect: bad acting, ridiculous plots, cheap philosophy just because and a nonsense ending.

It's not even funny or entertaining. An eighty something minute movie that feels like a 3 hour nightmare. Boring and ridiculous.

Don't waste your time.

"Forsaken," also known as "Stranded on Mars," falls short of being considered a cinematic masterpiece. While it may not rank among the best, it manages to escape the label of the worst, as I've encountered films far more lacking in various aspects.

One notable aspect in favor of "Forsaken" is its commendable visual effects, especially considering the constraints of its sci-fi genre and production budget. The cast, too, is not entirely without merit, with some characters leaving a positive impact. The film introduces intriguing tensions in the characters' lives, hinting at potential developments, yet frustratingly fails to provide a conclusive resolution.

Diverging from typical Mars-centric narratives, "Forsaken" primarily focuses on events unfolding on Earth. Here, it successfully delves into themes of politics, corruption, and financial exploitation, weaving a dark and significant backdrop for the plot. Not adhering to the conventional Hollywood formula, the movie doesn't necessarily demand a cheerful resolution.

As for the ending, my sentiments are mixed. While the film introduces compelling plot twists, it ultimately leaves the viewer in a state of confusion. This ambiguity constitutes my primary critique of the movie; a clearer conclusion would have undoubtedly enhanced the overall viewing experience.

Total failure, the film is about nothing, without a storyline, without any meaning

This is dire, it has no plot, it is just a a total mish-mash of nothing. So if you're looking for some piece of good Sci-fi, you will be in for a let down. Please do not even bother with this.

I don't understand the poor ratings. I thought this movie was quite good. It looked in the beginning like a clone of The Martian but it was not that at all. I thought the main cast was very good and the story kept you interested. Worth the watch.

Where The Martisn focused on the astronaut, this movie was very much about the activities on earth (without forgetting the astronaut). It showed commercial shenanigans to make money and politicians using the stranded astronaut for political gain. In the midst of this, you had dedicated staff truly trying to save the stranded astronaut only to be continually frustrated by those who did not care. It had a gritty realism and then also some mysteries on Mars.
