Great idea, good actors, Natasha Henstridge, nice effects - all comprehensively jarjarbinksed by poor scenario...

I really wanted to like this very promising SF/action film - but I simply couldn't. Below, more of my impressions, with some limited SPOILERS.

This film begins quite well indeed. On a largely terraformed Mars (air is breathable) governed by a matriarchate (!), a police patrol is dispatched by train (planes and choppers are absent from this movie) to a little mining town, to bring in custody a wanted criminal named James "Desolation" Williams (Ice Cube), just arrested by the local sheriff. But once the police patrol arrives, there is nobody to greet them there... And then the film begins.

The cast is one of the few strong points of this film. The police officer in command of the patrol is of course a woman, the very lesbian Commander Helena Braddock (Pam Grier). Her trusted (but not interested by her advances) second in command is Lieutenant Melanie Ballard (Natasha Henstridge). Under their orders are three more officers, the experienced tough Sergeant Nathan Jericho (Jason Statham) and two young rookies, Officer Bashira Kincaid (Clea DuVall) and Officer Michael Descanso (Liam Waite). Later in the film they will meet also another important secondary character, Doctor Arlene Whitlock (Joanna Cassidy).

As we can see, there was a lot of screen talent here. Pam Grier (thank you Quentin Tarantino for raising her from dead in "Jackie Brown") is still darn hot even at 51! Natasha Henstridge is GORGEOUS - in fact she is the main reason why I give this film two stars, as it would still be a pleasure to watch her even in a commercial for camembert... Jason Statham was at that time still in the beginning of his career (he was billed fourth!) but he certainly already showed big promise - also, making him a subordinate of not one but two women offered also some good opportunities for dialogs... Finally Clea DuVall, with her unique, non-conventional kind of beauty and veteran actress Joanna Cassidy were certainly also assets.

All of that however, together with the original premises and a considerable budget were wasted by the dirt-poor scenario, which the director should never have accepted in the first place, without a serious re-working. Therefore the one who must be blamed for the failure of this whole project is the director - John Carpenter. The man who made great films like "Escape from New York" and "The Thing", interesting flicks like "Assault on precinct 13", "Fog" and "Christine", comedies like "Dark Star", "They live" and "Vampires", as well as the burlesque head scratcher "Big trouble in Little China". And then this...

In this film we can actually see some reminiscences of his earlier works, but in a very inferior version. "Desolation" Williams is a kind of pale (pun very much intentional) copy of "Snake" Plissken. The idea of a besieged police post in which cops must make an alliance with criminals reminds of "Assault of precinct 13" - but is definitely less well shown. There is a kind of absolutely lethal mist like in "Fog" and an enemy who can hide amongst people you trust the most like in "The Thing". And then there is also a kind of tribute to this great cult classic "Heavy Metal" (a film John Carpenter was not involved with), especially the last story "Taarna", with Big Daddy Mars being an equivalent of Barbarian Leader and Melanie Ballard kind of reminding of Taarna herself...

Also, a great deal of lethal weaponry is used, which should in principle please action film freaks like me - you can check them in detail following this link to Internet Movie Firearms Database.

But all of this is mostly wasted in this film because of rather stupid scenario, mostly weak dialogs (there is only like two or three really good one liners or comebacks), not so good action scenes, interesting characters dying much too soon, disappointing use made of villains and of the Martian armoured train and last but not least a very lame ending. Also, the original ideas mentioned in the beginning (terraforming, Martian matriarchal government) or in the middle of the film (possibility of discovering Martian ancient artefacts) are not developed. At all. Instead, the film goes at "full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes" pace into a "shootout, gore and F... bombs" direction - and then fails to deliver good action scenes...

So bottom line, this is a huge disappointment and a waste of good idea, good actors and good money. Watchable only if there is nothing else and then only for Natasha Henstridge luminous beauty and nothing else. If possible, avoid.

.....from watching it at the cinema when it was released. I have no idea how a director of so many brilliant classics was able to let his standards decline so much. This film is basically a remake of Assault On Precinct 13 set on Mars with the dead, or alive, being possessed by the original indigenous species. If a social commentary was in the film then it was lost on me (if that was the intention).
The extra features are of interest, but even they can't redeem the film. Just to ramble on for no other purpose than mine alone, I was hoping that time would have improved this film but it hasn't. So, I'm not even going to bother buying Vampires and instead I'll watch the truly brilliant films that he's directed again and again.

Blödsinniger Sci-Fi-Horror, den die Welt nicht gebraucht hätte

Revisado en Alemania 🇩🇪 el 2 de agosto de 2016

Ich weiß auch nicht mehr, warum ich mir Ghost of Mars letztes Jahr gekauft habe. Wahrscheinlich, weil's die DVD zum Dumpingpreis gab. Ein anderer Grund fällt mir nicht ein, denn ich habe den Film früher schon mal gesehen und hätte demnach wissen müssen, dass er Schrott ist. Worum es dabei geht? Also, in der Zukunft ist der Mars kolonialisiert. Eine Gruppe von Soldaten (die auf dem Mars übrigens hauptsächlich weiblich sind) macht sich per Zug auf den Weg zu einer abgelegenen Bergbau-Siedlung, wo ein Schwerverbrecher abgeholt werden soll. Aber da wartet eine böse Überraschung: Die Minenarbeiter sind von bösen Mars-Geistern besessen, deren Lieblingsbeschäftigung das Umbringen von Menschen ist.

John Carpenter brachte dem Publikum einst tolle Filme wie Halloween, Escape from New York (Die Klapperschlange) und The Thing (Das Ding aus einer anderen Welt). 2001 war von dem einstigen Glanz wenig geblieben: Ghost of Mars ist ganz großer Käse. Leider nimmt sich der Film zu ernst, denn mit einem Spritzer Humor hätte man noch was retten können. Die Story ist dünn und völlig schwachsinnig, außer blutigem Gemetzel wird nicht viel geboten. Viel mehr gibt's dazu eigentlich nicht zu sagen. Sci-Fi und Horror mit relativ geringem Budget waren mal die Stärke von John Carpenter. Bei Ghost of Mars hat er gezeigt, dass er das auch so richtig vergeigen kann. Den zweiten Stern gibt's nur, weil in dem Bereich noch miesere Filme existieren.

John Carpenter is a fine director and music maker. This is not his finest hour. With a potentially good line up of actors, the script is corny, the fight action overdone martial arts, the sets cheap, and the vampire-like combatants unconvincing. The "technology" is mix of WW2 guns and shiny rifles; they shout to one another (no radios in the 21st century?); and the "police" are inept.

If you want a stupid, meaningless story (script) this is the one for you. Better acting in high school drama club. Plus as added bonus they throw in a multitudinous quantity of F*** bombs just to get your attention in case you fell asleep . Just plain worthless - where's a good old commercial when you need one. Had to turn off after just 15-20 minutes when it was obvious it was only going to get worse (much worse)....

Un classique de SF malheureusement plombé techniquement !

Le film date de 2001 et ça se voit, car les effets spéciaux font vraiment moches. Déjà à l'époque, ce n'était guère glorieux. Dommage, car le scénario se tient, le casting est chouette et il y a quelques beaux moments de bravoure. Pour le reste, on est sur du carton-pâte très décevant. Dommage, surtout pour un réalisateur aussi influent et reconnu que John Carpenter. Quelle déception !

Even if it does have the gorgeous Natasha Hendridge, Ice T is very good, Jason Statham's there and Pam Grier, with Jenny O'Hara from Wishmaster and Clea Duvall , the special effects are reasonable and the decapitations are well done and yet the movie still manages to bore. Sorry.

Off film with strange narrative choices. Broadly works, but a mixture of acting, script and soundtrack make it feel very cheap.

Very disappointed in this film. Good actors poorly directed. Fight sounds drowned out by loud, bad, backing music. A good story wasted.
