... View MoreThe special effects are not the worst i have seen but camera angles (directing) make any mild acting ability completely lost. Sad that we cant do better in 2015. I rather watch an equally low budget Dr. Who from 1980s and be more entertained. In the first 1 minute of watching this film (about 1 hr into the movie) and seeing the horrible camera angles, acting, dialog and lesbian kiss, i swear it was a Canadian film, but its not !! Why make this crap and who would spend money selling this to the network. I rather watch reruns of 1960s My favorite martian than this. I need 10 lines to submit a review. Sadly nothing more needs to be said. Space Channel, STOP buying rights to these crappy films. please stop. Only then maybe we can exterminate future crap friends m being made. These actors should not quit their day job. I would be embarrassed to say i was in a film like this. More embarrassed than if saying i was in a porn film.
... View MoreThis film is in the tradition of The Asylum's mock-busters, but is taking a very different tack to the film that has inspired it. For a low budget production, especially one from this production house, the effects are not actually all that bad - certainly watchable. The acting is also, whilst not perfect, far from terrible.The plot is fairly predictable, using the usual "family vs environmental disaster with long car chase" format employed in a lot of this company's work but the end result is certainly watchable and fairly enjoyable in an non-challenging way.This is the level that The Asylum should be aiming for more of its low-budget productions - before then aiming a bit higher if possible.
... View MoreSet on Mars, Martian Land is a low budget film but does have an interesting premise. Mars is being terraformed, and the causes a huge sand and electrical storm which threatens domed cities. Special effects are OK. Some vehicles which look decent, and some scenery which is OK. The sand storm is only adequate.Acting is average. There is a sub plot about a father and daughter who are estranged. Costumes are poor. The security uniforms are t-shirts with masking tape applied. Environmental suits are sort of OK, except again, colored masking tape was used to put stripes on the helmets, and in some places the tape is already lifting off. Not much for soundtrack. Overall I give this a C rating. Not terrible, but not great.
... View MoreThis 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
