Ice Cube, Statham and the naked woman from Species fight an army of rabid Marilyn Manson fans on Mars. Somehow this is anything but an endorsement.

Carpenter's again influenced by Forbidden Planet and The Thing as he shows a world of mysterious monsters. Like some of the era's sci-fi the silly slang creates shaky world-building. And executive meddling is everywhere--including an opening Star Wars scroll backstory. But he's a master craftsman who can dramatize a relationship between cops and prisoners while also showing loud, mindless action. But Ice Cube & Natasha should be an interracial buddy duo in more movies. Marginal recommendation.

I'm guessing the studio didn't think the audience could comprehend such alien concepts as a female squad-commander, a female scientist, a female committee-chair, or a female police officer, so they put a disclaimer at the beginning saying that Martian society, for some reason, became matriarchal. And then for good measure, they made 2 out of every 3 characters lesbians and gave them dialogue like A: 'I need you straight, lieutenant.' B: 'I'm as straight as they come, sir.' A: 'That's too bad.'

Everytime Ice Cube is on screen it could've been Snake >:( Carpenter's weakest film - none of the characters are memorable outside of "hey that's Jason statham" hot observations and the music is atrocious. Gonna sit down and rescore the entire movie with tracks from Lost Themes and no I'm not.

John Carpenter presents a brainless sci-fi/action studio mutation of the potential third "Snake Plissken" film, "Escape From Mars", in this weird Martian version of "The Happening"(2008). Although some of the movie is admittedly fun at times, its cheesy sci-fi/action charms aren't enough to cover up the lazy convoluted mess of a story. Try to imagine Ice Cube cosplaying "Snake Plissken" fighting deadites, and you get the picture. Tolerable watch, but nothing to seek out.

Some weaknesses, no doubt, but the non-linear, story-within-a-story structure (including four layers of flashback) was kind of interesting, and the gusto with which it combined elements from other films was kind of amusing. Somewhat unusual in taking the side of the colonists against the colonised, and in portraying illegal drugs as beneficial. If the budget had extended to a few space-travel sequences and a greater variety of sets, I suspect audiences may have been a little more forgiving.

You know how there are those really impressive and ground-breaking movies that John Carpenter made? And then there are some that aren't so great, but have some redeeming qualities? "Ghosts of Mars" does not fit into either of those categories.

The characters are supposed to be cops, but they show a surprising unfamiliarity with their weapons and police tactics. One cop repeatedly uses the 'halt' hand signal but everyone keeps walking anyway, including that cop herself. They do everything wrong. Cops should know better, especially when the comment is made that they "have the best training." Also, the story is... well, terrible. Alien ghosts. That's a new one for me. It plays out to be as dumb as it sounds.

carpenters turn from b-movie king to "old and tired." might have been the right style of 80s kitsch to make it cult if it was made right after escape from new york, but this came 20 years too late for that. nothing the characters do makes sense, it's essentially an hour of run 'n gun. don't kill the monsters because then the ghosts get loose? and next scene ice cube says fuck it and opens up with uzis in what should have been a suicidal strafing run. love carpenter--shouldn't have watched this.

Ghosts of Mars isn't really a good film, but it's consistently interesting and entertaining and contains some things that you won't often see in the movies. If you have a fondness for the color red, or B-movies set on Mars in which soldiers fight against miners infected by ghosts, turning them into savages in the process -- assuming one can be "fond" of this exact setting -- then you'll have a good time.

Cheap sets that resemble Total Recall rejects and bad casting prove damaging to G.O.M, the last Carpenter that plays like an auteurist's piece.It's essentially a summation of his entire career, merging his favourite themes and genre tropes with his latter day formal traits (e.g. dissolves) and shift away from minimalist narratives. The overuse of flashbacks stalls any sense of momentum, but the almost Bava-esque lighting combined with the groove metal soundtrack kicks the action into high gear.

Ice Cube's enthusiasm for his part in Ghosts of Mars is plain to see, but it really says something about the quality of a movie when he shines above the rest of the cast. The main problem with Ghosts of Mars is that it is so far up its own ass that it never seems to realise quite how terrible it actually is. With the totally useless Natasha Henstridge as a lead, some mediocre special effects, stupid enemies and badly choreographed action scenes it's very hard to bear for the entire running time.

Assault on Precinct Apollo 13. There are a handful of enjoyable parts of this movie (Ice Cube chief among them) and while it's never actively boring, it's not exactly interesting either. I watched it after a few beers in the lead up to Halloween, which I assume is precisely how it's meant to be watched, and it still wasn't very good.

This film gets 60 points for featuring Jason Statham and Ice Cube in a film where they're capable of walking on Mars for no intellectual reason while they fend off the hordes of...possessed miners? Oh wait...you mean there are more people full of useless exposition and flashbacks no one asked for? You know I'll have to deduct 20 points for it not being that way better sounding idea and a extra 5 for whatever crap show this was my dad tried to convince me was good.

Things really start to lose steam towards the end and the final act is some stupid-ass writing, but on the whole, I don't think that this is quite as disposable as its reputation suggests. There are some things it can't be excused of, such as the editing, but broadly speaking, Ghosts of Mars can easily be viewed as a decent attempt at mindless parody, and I think that that's the best way to view it. It's a lens that came quite naturally to me and I enjoyed it as a result.

Carpenter's done this story - cops & criminals of different races & genders team up to fight a threat - before in AOP 13. That mixture of unlikely alliances was fresh in 76, but not now & so we're left w/ a generic thriller made cheaply. The only interesting ideas are never explored. Mars is a matriarchy but nothing comes of that & even though killing the virus-possessed means the virus will latch on to someone else, the heroes mow them down w/ glee. The ending's badass tone also makes no sense.

Some odd revisionism suggests Carpenter thinks he was making a deliberate parody – this seems more like a sincere genre effort that just doesn’t work: a mish-mash of ideas and themes familiar to Carpenter, but amped into overwrought silliness which becomes tiring and numbing as the film reaches its final act. Closer in spirit to a W.S. Anderson film but (dare I say it) not as well executed; burdened by an unusually misjudged (and ugly) music score. Statham is always fun to have around though!

For only one kind of moviegoer: the schlock sci-fi/horror junkies. I could also add fans of John Carpenter, but I think this description covers all of them. I suppose this brings up another rule of thumb not mentioned in the beginning of the review: if you don't love at least one John Carpenter film, stay away from this one at all costs.

I get that it's very campy and it's supposed to be that. You don't care for any of the characters apart from the one played by Pam Grier. The bad guys are Mad Max LARP'ers who speak Simlish. Of course, you need to cast one rapper in it so that's why we got Ice Cube in this one, yo. Jason Statham is here as well for some reason, unsurprisingly playing... Jason Statham. I'd say it was entertaining, but was it entertaining in the way it was meant to be? Who knows!

A solid science-fiction action movie with elements of horror, reminiscent of the iconic video game Doom. The setting is introduced quickly without a lot of unnecessary exposition. It was a nice visual decision to shoot only at night and heavy use of the color red. The fight choreography is good and Natasha Henstridge is a convincing lead as a disillusioned police officer. Jason Statham also brings his humor and charisma.

Probably the most misunderstood and wicked film of the last decade -- thanks, Ice Cube --, but still a piece that has aged well -- sorry, Ghost of Mars' haters -- both as an over-the-top action flick and as an uncompromising and chilling horror attraction. Carpenter covers multiple points of view in order not to make the viewer well-informed, but just more aware of what's coming, which is: outlaws and soldiers as brothers in arms fighting an invisible, I-will-possess-you menace.

Yeah, no. Everything is pretty stupid in this movie. Everyone is trying to get into Henstridge's pants, Statham comes up with some of the worst pick up lines ever and it features some Inception-level bullshit of flashbacks within flashbacks within flashbacks. I mean, at least it was hilarious with it being a complete train-wreck of a sci-fi film. I can't believe that John Carpenter both wrote and directed this; it just seems to implausible for him to make something this bad.

Bad, boring, fake and stupid. Anything that can be wrong with a movie, this one has it.

Yeah so maybe this isn't actually any good, but it's a great late-night cable tv movie and I love Ice Cube.

This is like John Carpenter's epitaph in screen form: he assembles tons of elements that you've seen throughout his older (and much better) films and throws it all together wildly with no concern for the audio department and what looks like reused sets from Total Recall (the train). I have to mention the worst part of the movie being the main villain, what in anyone's right mind would convince them that it was a good idea to use that actor's high pitched voice as the character's voice?

While having some of the director's distinctive features (most prominently the setting itself), it's too forced in its "coolness" and harmed by some very strange editing. And Ice Cube is no Kurt Russel, or no Darwin Joston for that matter.

I thought this might be b-grade cheesy fun but it's unwatchable tripe

as usual with carpenter films the ending sums it up really well, while it's taking a pretty boring and often enough retarted way to get there. :)

John Carpenter used to make decent, scary, bold movies you know.
