MARTIAN MISFIRE,
By Michael Butts (Berkeley Springs, WV USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Mars (DVD)
MARS is one of those direct to video releases that neither offends or surprises. Martial arts honcho Olivier Gruner (mysteriously minus his French accent) stars as a "Keeper," a futuristic kind of lawman, who comes to Mars to investigate the suspicious murder of his keeper brother. Of course, the mining colony is corrupt as all get out, with Alex Hyde-White mugging his way through the role of the company digging up something called Silex, which supposedly is the fuel of the future for planet Earth. Unfortunately, the Silex is causing some kind of rare disease and killing off most of the Martian population. Shari Belafonte resurfaces after years of screen absence as the dedicated doctor who discovers this. Gruner picks up a sidekick in obnoxious Gabriel Dell, who never knows when to shut up. Add Scott Valentine who mysteriously was chosen to play an elderly Irish former keeper, whose accent is almost as bad as his makeup.The action sequences are clumsy but Gruner knows how to kick butt. A passable time passer, but don't expect Star Wars.

Bad acting ... worse story,
By theButterfly (Austin, Texas USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mars (DVD)
It's stuff like this that gives science fiction a bad name. No wonder there isn't more of it.Of course the acting and the story aren't the only things lacking. The special effects also suck and the action sequences are badly coreographed. Basically, it's just a bunch of people pretending to shoot each other and beat each other up, with none of the advantages of a good movie.

Cheap script, acting, everything, but ya gotta check it out,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mars [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This movie is crazy as hell!! For Olivier Gruner fans, ya gotta see it. It's got some cheesy acting and scripting (Olivier's voice is removed, and another actors in it's place) but the violence is awesome, crazy and unprovoked. A must see.
