I thought this film was actually very very good. Zombies on Mars with a thoughtful dash of humanity, that while subtle is incredibly touching in its own way considering ehm...zombies on Mars.

A decent cast, nice effects, some atmosphere, realistic space mission science... So why doesn't The Last Days on Mars do much for me? Well, principally, I think it blows its intriguing "life was found on Mars" premise on clichéd zombie movie tropes. I couldn't think of a duller proposition. The threat of bringing back an invasive infection or alien parasite/predator from another planet is nothing new, but I can name examples with more interesting monsters (Alien chief among them, but even Screamers has more ingenuity). Heck, I feel like Doctor Who remade this with a more interesting cast in The Waters of Mars and I still didn't care for it much. So even the bleak ending wasn't much of a surprise, but I somehow liked that third act better than the rest. First act - a bit slow and procedural. Second act - the zombie stuff we've seen many times before. Third act - things go from bad to worse to worst in a pleasant (if that's the word for it) way. So while Last Days isn't a complete dud, it's not a must-see.

Not as bad as I expected, but far from being a good film.

GRRR....Movies that don't have an ending tend to be a waste of time for me. Luckily it wasn't boring but the only thing I like about it is that it was on Mars.
If you haven't seen it yet skip it and Just watch 30 days of night again, same type of movie, more suspenseful.

Another boring take on the zombie trend, this time on Mars, following every predictable step in the genre.
