Mars Apocalypse

So, there are some great scenes and lighting and then all of the sudden two of the male leads are in tank tops and tee shirts, on mars. Are you serious, did they run out of money for wardrobe? The 3d modeling and compositing is pretty good, but it really looks like something from the knight rider days.

Now, the acting, is absolutely tragic. I wonder often, who casts these people and how confusing it must have been to see so many bad actors line up that these are the best they could find. Is snakes on a plane worse or better than this? Every now and then these beautifully lit scenes that look like deadspace are ruined by soap opera lighting, and I can't figure out why. why? The inconsistency from pretty good to absolutely wretched is amazing. I think this video should be the 'oh my god i am in this' not 'my friend is a lead in this'.

I hope this is fun, a joke like sharknado, because it is really bad.

The cast of this movie came straight from the Steven Seagal acting school. Some of the actors sounded like they read the whole script in one tone without taking a breath. Even the editing was made to appear like a Seagal movie by speeding up scenes to make it look faster than it was, but instead making it look like the camera was jammed when filming. That style didn't work in 1980 why would it work in 2015. One person is holding a rope attached to another. One is in a still environment the other is in tornado conditions. Even Arianna Afsar couldn't make this movie watchable. It was produced in a weekend to try and cash in on the Martian buzz.

Where to begin. Looks like interior of spacecrafts are made of plastic milk crates. Spandex and welding helmets for space suites. The defibulator glove with aligator clips. The close ups of the 'space helmets' with God awful details. I always thought Flash Gordon had corney special effects. Flash Gordon is light years beyond what this film has considering resources and technology available. My advise, don't waste your time like I did unless you want a good laugh at horrible effects.

This movie had about the same budget as any given old-school Power Rangers episode, but with worse acting and even worse special effects. I feel sorry for the creators of it, because they seriously lack talent at what they do. Asylum has a long history of shitty movies, and quite honestly, I don't how how they can afford to keep making garbage like this. All of the actors were disinterested in their roles, and you could almost read the "man this movie is crap, when do I get paid?" expression on their faces. As for the script itself...if you were to give a child a box of crayons and a handful of paint, I promise they could create a better script than this. It's truly embarrassing that this movie even passed the brainstorming stages.

1/10

Seldom will you see a more flat, lifeless attempt at filmmaking than this. Dreadful acting, static camera work, wildly fluctuating and jarring scene segues.....it's almost comical....almost. The CGI is cheap and two dimensional, constant disjointed reaction takes, you may have guessed by now I didn't like it much. Absolutely no redeeming quality to this massive stink bomb.
