Badly fails to live up to its potential (spoiler alert)
posted on 24 Aug 2009"Ghosts of Mars" takes place in 2176; in this setting, Mars is in the process of being terraformed and colonised by mankind. Aside from the main city of Chryse, there are a number of outposts, mostly small mining towns. A five man police team is sent to one of these outposts to pick up a prisoner, James "Desolation" Williams, and bring him to Chryse to stand trial on multiple murder charges. But upon arrival, the team discovers the population of the outpost, Shining Valley, has been brutally massacred, and Williams--stuck in the town lockup along with several other prisoners--has nothing to do with it. It soon becomes apparent that the killings have been committed by other colonists, who have each been possessed by some homicidal entity; as can be readily guessed, the entities in question are the "Ghosts of Mars" mentioned in the title. The policemen and the prisoners have to team up to fight their way out.Basically, this film is a cheap re-hash of "Aliens" with a dash of "Pitch Black" thrown in, only nowhere near as good as either. I liked the sets (including the vehicles), which effectively conveyed a "frontier" feel; we feel there's more advanced technology available, but it probably requires spare parts which can't be acquired or made out here in the back end of beyond, so the locals go with more low-tech stuff which they can keep operating. The costumes go a fair way to conveying this feel as well, and hey, you can't deny the obvious appeal of a film which features Natasha Henstridge and Clea DuVall in tight black leather. But that's about where it ends for production values: most of the props (weapons, lights, radios) look distinctly 20th century. No attempt has been made at creating something like the famed M41A pulse rifle; the best the armourer produced was a brace of pump-action shotguns with some pointless bits glued on, some stock Beretta 92s (which, by 2176, would be some 200 years old) and a single HK G36K. What money there is in the film looks like Monopoly™ bills; you'd expect it to at least be laminated or something.But that's not what grates about "Ghosts of Mars." The main problem is that this is truly a horror movie, in the sense that the main thing moving the story along is all the characters behaving in implausibly stupid ways. The ruling council knows something's wrong in the outlying colonies, but does not make the slightest effort to investigate. The supposedly hard-as-nails team leader (Grier) gets herself killed off by running off into the darkness without waiting for backup. Henstridge's character resolves every standoff (and there are several) by immediately having all the cops surrender their weapons, without so much as a murmur of protest from the rest of the team. The protagonists fight their way to the train station, only to find the train is not there, despite the fact that the building where they started is 50 metres from the train station, with a direct line of sight; in other words, they could have known the train wasn't there by looking out of the window. Dr. Whitlock (Cassidy), the character who is supposed to provide the exposition, takes so long to do so that even Henstridge's character has worked it out already (about half an hour after the audience has), making the exposition mostly superfluous. The only thing we discover from the exposition is that Whitlock inadvertently unleashed the ghosts in the first place, something she gets all broken up about (or she would, had Cassidy not mailed in her performance), despite that fact that there was no sign at all of this anguish previously.Continuity is definitely a problem in this film, since the characters seem unable to remember events which took place five minutes ago. Williams (Ice Cube) claims nobody ever looked out for him, despite the fact that his brother and two close friends just died trying to rescue him. There are also technological aspects which make no sense; a constant factor in the film is that dust storms, which disrupt radio communications, are a frequent occurrence on Mars and there just happens to be one between Shining Valley and Chryse. The obvious answer to this problem, one would think, would be to lay an insulated land line, which could have been installed along with the train tracks.Overall, "Ghosts of Mars" had a lot of potential, but it suffers from indifferent acting, mediocre directing and downright awful writing. It's not unwatchable, but that's about all that can be said for it.
Casual fun despite lost potential
posted on 20 Aug 2009I'll say it right off the bat: Ghosts of Mars is a bad movie. But that doesn't mean one can't enjoy it. The acting is horrible, with the single exception of Ice Cube. The dialog and writing is laughable. The science has many holes. The ghosts act illogically. The list goes on and on... but what does it amount to? A heck of a good time.The plot revolves around a futuristic colonized Mars. A team of police is sent to a remote mining outpost to transfer a criminal, but they discover that it is deserted. They are then attacked by zombie-like blade-wielding self-cutting colonists contaminated by Martian ghosts. Apparently the ghosts were released from a "centuries old" (thats relatively recent!) alien structure that was buried beneath the Martian surface.Although labeled as a horror film, Ghosts of Mars is not scary by any stretch. Its hard to take it seriously after the action starts. The action itself isn't horrible, but its very basic stuff. I laughed many times from the special effects; the severing of appendages and pointless explosions were plain silly. The sequence with a balloon crashing especially comes to mind. The camera technique was okay, but I don't think I liked the constant fade cut effect. A strong point of the film is the narrative technique: most of the movie is shown through a flashback. Several events are shown through different perspectives, but they all come together nicely.I would say that Ghosts of Mars starts off as science fiction, but then disintegrates into a mindless action flick. I think the material was not presented in the best way, and therefore lost potential that could have made it a rather good film. As much as the movie failed on a technical level, it retained my interest for the entire time. If your not expecting anything special, then this could make for a good time.
remember the good ole days, when villains mattered
posted on 16 Aug 2009Instead of expounding on the myriad of weaknesses this movie contains, I'd like to focus on one problem the I felt was significant. In my opinion, this film lacked a noteworthy villain.It did have an antagonist, apart from the bad CGI dust storm flowing over the cheap-ass models, but he was devoid of any depth or development. In order for me to enjoy an action film, I feel there is a certain need for a useful villain. Someone who is.... Charismatic, sympathetic, devious, or awe-inspiring. When an unruly horde of evil doers is lead by someone, I want some inclination of why, he, in particular, is leading them. I like to feel for the plight of the villain, trying to envision the world from his or her perspective and gain an understanding into why they would do whatever evil that they do. Or, I like a villain that is likable enough to root for, where you find yourself not caring which side wins the inevitable showdown, because you like 'em both. These factors are necessary for a good movie, but that pretty much exempts Carpenter from trying.The antagonist in this film was a shallow, pointless, muscular guy with imposing piercings, the only look we get into why, he in particular, is leading the throng is the scenes where he bellows at his legions before beheading some victims.... Leading us to conclude, Martian culture was ruled and shaped by those who both yelled the loudest and possessed a good fore-hand. The villain, who was named.... oh that's right, he wasn't, I'll just call him Bob. Anyway, Bob had a serious lack of lines and spends the movie bellowing incoherently at the camera, the extras, the heroes, the setting, the caterer, at just about anything around, I guess when he found out he wouldn't be allowed to speak, Non wanted to throw his hat into the Oscar ring by being louder than the rest. I suppose it was too much to hope for some subtitles as Bob motivated his troops, I for one was curious about the depth to which the human-martian conversion went. I would have liked to know if the martians, Bob's army, possessed the communicative skills and reasoning to apply tactics in combat. Or if all of their skill with metalworking was merely a freakish coincidence, and they really were the mindless horde they behaved like when the combat started. (sigh) all in all I have to say, I wouldn't recommend this film, I didn't hate it, it just seemed to fall short of what it could have been, and that thing that it could've been and wasn't..... cool.Also, I don't think it's fair to characterize the bad-guys as "Marilyn Mansons" I think they are also equal parts "Captain Howdy" from Dee Snyder's strangeland and Sting from the WCW (i think).
Let's get one thing straight
posted on 10 Aug 2009Okay, I saw a number of reviews by some kids who claim that they know Carpenter's work and review this movie, while they have only seen 'Vampires' and 'In the Mouth of Madness', so I decided to write a second review here.John Carpenter is a legend in horror movies of mythical proportions. He did 'The Thing' which is by far the best horror movie of the 80s, he created the masterpiece 'Big Trouble In Little China' and let's not forget about 'Halloween'. After the commercial failure of 'The Thing' and 'Big Trouble In Little China' (one the biggest injustices ever) he made very low budget movies, which were still pretty good.Since 'Vampires', Carpenter feels he must compete with the new directors (a wrong idea, as his early work still remains classic) so he started copying from Robert Rodriguez like crazy. 'Vampires' was a lame version of 'From Dusk Till Dawn' and a copy of Rodriguez's techniques. In 'Ghosts of Mars' he does the same. He still copies from R.R. by using extended slow motion while cross fading with another shot and the funny thing is that he once said that he is completely against the use of slo mo in movies (which in my opinion is right).Apart from the direction, the story is bad, there is absolutely no interest in what happens here and there is no horror.J.C. always managed to work with decent actors, but not here. I don't like seeing someone called 'Ice Cube' star in a John Carpenter movie, really. Of course with a script like this he couldn't find anyone better.I am sorry to see that Carpenter has lost his gift, the ability to transform a small budget movie into something which is at least interesting.Maybe he should take a rest or use someone else's stories from now on.1/10
John Carpenter's Ghosts...from the past
posted on 09 Jul 2009Supposedly set 200 years after Carpenter's first success Assault on Precinct 13, this film more or less follows a similar premise. The setting is futuristic (the story takes place at the Red Planet) and the effects are more dazzling, but it still handles about a small group battling against an overload of enemies, trying to survive. Foxy cop Henstridge is questioned by a board and, through flashbacks, she explains how she and her team were sent to transport a criminal (Ice Cube) from a Mars outpost to put him to trial. Once they arrive at the outpost, it soon becomes clear that there's a far bigger evil to fight. Ancient spirits, who don't like to see their planet colonized, have taken over the bodies of mineworkers and turned them into cannibals/zombies/madmen…I don't really know what they're supposed to look like and I don't Carpenter himself had a clue, neither.Let's start with the good news!! 'Ghosts of Mars' is way better than every horror film Carpenter made during the nineties (Village of the Damned, In the Mouth of Madness, Vampires…). And yet it's very bleak compared to all his earlier movies. The screenplay often is a mess and I'm not too enthusiast about the structure Carpenter uses here. Flashback after flashback after flashback… At times, it almost looks like his shooting some sort of parody. Also, the constant references and stolen aspects from Carpenter's own classic films didn't really help. It's like John realizes his films aren't that ingenious and groundbreaking anymore and hangs on to memories. Oh well…if you're a young, thrill-seeking horror lover unfamiliar with this pioneer-director's initial work, you'll love this boisterous mixture of action, blood and Henstridge's booty. If you're – like me – a die-hard 70's-80's Carpenter fan, you'll look back with regret.
John Carpenter's worst film
posted on 09 Jul 2009Now, I haven't seen all of John Carpenter's movies, but I'm almost positive that this is his worst. In fact, I'd venture to say this is the worst film I've ever seen, and I've seen some bad ones, like Tammy and the Teenage T-Rex (late night USA).It's not like I have anything against John Carpenter, because I loved Vampires, In the Mouth of Madness, They Live, Big Trouble in Little China, Escape From New York, The Fog, and Halloween. They aren't fantastic movies, but they are all entertaining. It's just dissapointing to see such a horrible movie come from a director with such a good track record.In a way, it seemed like Natasha Henstridge was the only straight actor in a movie fool of stooges. Ice-Cube's portrayal of Desolation Williams was sad. I hate to rip on him, because I loved Glass Shield with Lori Petty. It was also sad to see Pam Grier in such a poor role. It breaks me heart...In conclusion, this movie is bad, with poor characters, poor music, poor set, and poor, poor John Carpenter to retain the shame that is Ghosts of Mars.
For Carpenter fans, otherwise...
posted on 03 Jul 2009I've got to be honest- this movie wasn't really what I expected. A friend said it was really good, but after seeing it, I don't fully agree. Yes, there's decent action, and yes, it's a neat story, but I've seen a number of other Carpenter films, and I personally think he's just grasping at ideas above his head. The enemy characters are interesting, but share a common thread in style to those of the Escape series. Henstridge and Statham help with the film, so it's not a total bust. If you're a die hard fan of Carpenter, you'll like it. I just didn't find it as intense as I thought it was going to be.
Went in expecting a mindless fun popcorn flick and got just that
posted on 21 Jun 2009First off I need to address the "critics" both in print and on the internet (IMDB users included) who are just ripping this film to shreds because it's not "The Godfather" of the new "Citizen Kane". Hey folks, in case you haven;t noticed John Carpenter is NOT Federico Fellini. You say you're aware of that? So why are you people always expecting some kind of grand masterpiece from the man? He makes a living directing offhanded, mindless, fun popcorn flicks that usually pay homage to the films he grew up on. Following in the same vein as "Escape From L.A." and "Vampires", "Ghosts of Mars" is just a big dumb horror/action flick chock-full of dark humor, outlandish violence and plenty or irreverence. And that's it my friends, there's nothing else there! It is by NO means a great movie (and the man who directed "Halloween" and "The Thing" has had his share of great movies) and if that's what you're expecting then you might be better of skipping this one. If you enjoyed his last few films, then read on. The plot isn't much-basically another remake of "Rio Bravo" with plenty of elements of other Carpenter flicks like "Escape From New York" and "Assault on Precinct 13" thrown in. The time is the future and Natasha Henstridge is a member of a police crew assigned to pick up and transfer a dangerous criminal played by Ice Cube from a town on the now human-inhabited planet of Mars. She and her crew soon discovered that an ancient sleeping entity awoken by a mining crew (the titular "ghosts") is flying around the place and into unsuspecting people turning them into murderous, self-mutilating monsters. From there Henstridge and her crew must enlist the help of Cube and his criminal cohorts in order to get out of there alive. All hell ensues, and that's that. Henstridge is great in this role: she's believable if you don't try to take the film seriously, and no matter what she's doing she manages to be jaw-droppingly sexy. I am SO glad she ended up playing this role instead of the first casting choice of Courtney Love. Courtney's a good actress, but she could never have been as likable or as sexy as Natasha. Ice Cube basically plays the same role he always plays, but as always he approaches the character (a combination of Snake Plissken and Napoleon Wilson) with gusto. He's perfectly suited for the role and manages to work up genuine chemistry with costar Henstridge. The action scenes are good and often laced with Carpenter's brand of sick humor. One of thoe more interesting aspects of this film was the "Rashamon" inspired approach to the film by telling everything in flashbacks, sometimes even going so far as a flashback within a flashback within a flashback. Sounds confusing, but believe me it's NOT. I liked that approach and I'd say it went a long way in keeping this film from just being another boring action flick. Anyway, I think I have said enough. It narrows down to this: if you like Carpenter's films, go see this movie.
A few corrections and warnings
posted on 17 Jun 2009This is the sort of film that is quickly blown through production with weak story telling, weak acting, and very ordinary editing...these three elements, when put together do do one thing though, they frequently add up to a "just watch and don't ask" entertaining action film.Jason Stratham's character is fantastic, Natasha always looks good, and as bad as Ice Cube is, he at least doesn't have the most lines.Big Daddy Mars is a wasted commodity here. He could have easily spiced this film up if John had just stretched it to 2 hours, given the martians a more organized and "civilized" approach. A few lines of dialogue, even an encounter with one of the "good" guys before he killed them would have given more meaning and direction to their purpose.The score is put together well by Bucket Head and Anthrax and directed by Carpenter. It moves the film well and the thumping hand beats of a full ensemble band makes for an enjoyable pacing, that is certainly not found in the editing and is only moved by music.Many of the movies actions are not well thought out, for example... the survivors going back to kill the ghosts after they have escaped...weak explanation and it actually appears to do more bad then it does good... Weaker characters have little motivation for anything and therefore the audience does not care during their gruesome deaths. The only one that I cared about was Jericho and he got the stupidest death of them all.I could go on and on, but my point is instead of looking at the little nuances, enjoy the film for what it is. A bloody, okay paced, easily forgettable, entertaining action film. If you can pick up a copy for 2 bucks like I did, Strathams character is worth it, god so are Natasha's everything... either way pop it in, sit back, and enjoy, its a cool idea that isn't pulled off to its potential, so don't worry you wont have to be worrying about the plot or anything. A good "oh man did you see that" talk during move.
This is Carpenter's best film in some time.
posted on 13 Jun 2009Sure, it's predictable. This is basically the same story as _Pitch Black_.
And why is it that science fiction basically revolves around horror themes?
It would be nice to see a really thought-provoking science fiction film that consisted of more than a motley group of people trying to escape from some monster. Given this, _Ghosts of Mars_ is really a pretty decent film and John Carpenter's best in some time.I really wanted to like _Vampires_ and much of that was pretty good, but the small budget really hurt. Here, Carpent uses the budget limitations to positive effect. Most of the money apparently went for red dye for the ground. The buildings and "futuristic" train didn't require much. The story basically boils down to the basic stalk and slash as dozens of other "science fiction" films of recent vintage, but there isn't a lot of time wasted on extraneous plot. The story is well-told, via a pretty complicated series of flashbacks and even flashbacks within flashbacks, as a group of gung-ho Martian police attempt to pick up a transport a prisoner, played by Ice Cube, only to discover that the mining station where he's being held has been overrun by the spirits of dead Martians, who inhabit their host bodies and make them do their bidding. The story is also basically an updating of one of Carpenter's earliest films, _Assault on Precinct 13_. Along the way, there are intriguing glimpses at the matriarchical society that runs Mars, although it is never explained how or why things got to be this way. Carpenter supplies some neat music to the film's soundtrack as well. All in all, there are certainly worse ways to spend your money.
John Carpenter is slipping slipping away
posted on 11 Jun 2009I'm worried about John Carpenter. He used to make such good movies. The Thing, Christine, Big Trouble in Little China, They Live, the list goes on. I can't understand why he has made the horrible waste of film stock that calls itself Ghosts of Mars. His first mistake was picking Ice Cube. Now I have no problem with Ice Cube except acting was not one of his talents and sci-fi horror movies are not where he should be spending his time. Natasha Henstridge is likewise not a great actress. Of course, most of us know her as the hot alien in Species. Her acting is just as wooden as it was in that picture. A mostly no name supporting cast with the exception of Pam Grier and Jason Statham who brighten up the background for a little bit before being sunk by the bad dialogue. The "ghosts" themselves are humans that have been possessed by ghosts and they look a lot like the fans at a Marilyn Manson concert. John Carpenter, who writes the music on all of his films, has gone for a psuedo-metal kind of sound here. It sucks big time and Anthrax and Steve Vai couldn't make it any better. This movie didn't have much going for it in the first place and with Mr. Carpenter flubbing this one up I don't know what is happening to his once great talents. I'm scared for the future. Bottom Line: Don't see this movie unless you are a diehard Carpenter fan or if you love Ice Cube. Chances are you will still be disappointed.
Words can never describe the horror from this film, acting wise
posted on 09 Jun 2009Yeah, "Desolation" Ice Cube "Williams" was by far the most God awful character name EVER in a movie, book, screen play, or 6 year old made up fictional character. Natasha was pretty, but that really doesn't rescue a movie that sinks lower than the water from an Anaconda movie that Ice Cube has also starred in. The "evil" characters in this film are about as hilarious as the "Noid" from the old Dominos pizza commercials. I actually took a girl on a date to see this timeless horror movie. It's sad when you start laughing at a movie, that wasn't intended to be laughed at. I would advise readers to buy this just to dog on it (even without the effects of alcohol), but I don't want people to give this film any more gross because Carpenter might actually make a second one and that would be about as enjoyable as me shaving myself with a brillo pad...they're both painful.
One of my worst movies I've watched
posted on 22 May 2009This is probably one of my top five worst movies. People here are to much fan of John Carpenter to be partial. People are comparing this movie to movies made in the 80s and yearly 90s and if this movie was made at that time, then some people could argue that it would become a classic. But no, this movie was made in the 21st century and it hasn't anything god. The story is bad, the actors are bad, the sound track is bad and plays at wrong moments, the sound and special effects are also bad. For a movie made in 2001 this things should have improved. Maybe John Carpenter had the idea to make a movie so bad that people would comment on that, but it' didn't happen, this movie has been forgotten, it doesn't pass on TV, I only remember this one because it's one of the few that I wanted my money back after watching it.
Solid and entertaining
posted on 12 May 2009Well, this movie has taken a bit of a savaging, hasn't it?I've read a lot of very negative reviews of "Ghosts of Mars" from critics and Carpenter fans alike, and had all-but dismissed this film as a DVD rental. But yesterday it turned up at our local cinema, and as I don't often get to see the Carpenter's work on the big screen, I bit the bullet on cheap night and went along.I was pleasantly surprised.I found myself watching a reasonably solid action flick with some nice characterisation, a few good performances and a good, even pace. Gory (yes), violent (yes) and with an EXTREMELY loud soundtrack, but nothing outside what you'd expect given the subject material. Not perfect by a long way - the bad guys weren't too scary, and the external sets were a bit ropey, but the action sequences worked well and there was plenty of tension between them.Money well spent, I decided.Seems like a lot of Carpenter's fans really don't like this movie. I respect that - it's not "Halloween", or "The Thing". But it's not as clumsy and obvious as "Vampires", nor is it as slow and deadly dull as "Village of the Damned". All I can say is I am a jaded long-time fan of John Carpenter who went in with low expectations and who came away entertained.Definitely a step back towards form, in my book.For the rest of the world who don't care who made the movie, I think this has a lot to commend it, but it won't be for every one. If your idea of a good horror movie is a bunch of teens being bumped off one by one (ironically, a concept Carpenter all-but invented 20 years ago), you probably won't find much here to like.But if you like a few scares and some action, and you like to be entertained, give it a go.You might be as surprised as I was.
Bad, bad, bad, bad...
posted on 06 May 2009The plot is weak, the acting is cheesy (to say the least), special effects are almost nil, the story is told in the most awkward way repeating the scene where the action subdivides. The few moments of suspense are killed by the very amateur way of pulling the story. A real waste of money...
So, this is what we have come to? (spoilers)
posted on 02 May 2009I just again watched this film. And I still like it. I think John Carpenter did a good job at thinking up another original plot. Carpenter is good at doing that and also at creating a moody score for each film he does. HALLOWEEN was classic and VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED scored some points for him. But, with GHOSTS OF MARS- you either like it or hate it. I am one of the people who likes it. My problems with the movie are the death scenes. Due to the fact that Carpenter sucks at writing death scenes, and makes them go by way too fast, you never know who the hell is alive and who is dead. I must've missed about three people having gotten killed at the hands of the Martians, because a few minutes after the action sequences, they have disappeared. Even after a second viewing, I still cannot see where some of them died. And while other viewers claim that they saw the deaths, I did not. *SPOILERS* Natasha Henstridge is Ballard. A Mars Police Officer assigned to transport a dangerous criminal, James Williams (Ice Cube). Along with her commanding officer (Pam Grier) and several rookies (Clea DuVall, Jason Statham, Joanna Cassidy, Liam Waite), she must fight an army of mine workers who have turned into zombie-like creatures after a mining accident released a long-dead group of Martian spirits.I really do like this film, I am just upset as to the content of the death scenes. Liam Waite's character is killed off immediately and Pam Grier is hardly developed. For what reason would we want to see this film? Well, we do get to see Natasha Henstridge in her underwear (but that's as close as we get). Let's hope that maybe the next killer Martian-zombie movie will atleast have some elaborate death sequences. GHOSTS OF MARS: 4/5.
Cool movie, as is most Carpenter films
posted on 04 Apr 2009Angry Red Planet, Mission To Mars, Red Planet, none of those flicks have quite the juice as this little diddy from John Carpenter, one of my favorite film directors. The movie starts up with a cool score, of course the music in his movies is never disappointing. The setting is like a red variation on the white snowy setting for The Thing, and while not as scary or shocking as that film, this movie is still a lot of fun with some cool action sequences and good gore. Big Daddy Mars, much like Danzig I should say.
horrible plot, horrible acting, great fun!
posted on 28 Aug 2009Even though this movie was very bogus and queer, it wasn't all that bad. I loved people getting hacked apart by men with rabies! I figure, any movie can be saved if it has a bunch of freaks with guns and sharp objects hacking each others heads off and having great fun doing it. The plot was bad however, and ice cube had to be given a monosyllabic vocabulary so he could memorize his lines. 6/10 or 3/5
