It keeps you off balance, all right, but not enough to obscure the sad fact that Ghosts of Mars is a muddled, derivative disaster straight on through.

This movie is cheesy, its fun, its loud and its not trying to be 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY..its low grade entertainment and it works!

Its a futuristic sci fi/horror film, one that lacks taste or anything innovative.

Ghosts of Mars provides a full fledged blast of undiluted B movie zest.

It is not unlike those low budget post apocalyptic sci fi action flicks that abound in video stores.Its a popcorn movie because it lacks substance.

Its hard to call this a thriller, since there is nothing thrilling about it.

For reasons that are never properly explained, Mars is a matriarchal society, though this serves no discernible plot purpose in the story.

The last moments of the end of the film give rise to the possibility of a sequel, if the box office numbers are good.

It devolves into unintentionally funny crap sci fi at the end, but Ghosts of Mars is little more than a heavy metal music video.

Unsentimental, non glamorized, and unclouded by the usual overlay of rose colored nostalgia, this is a raw but rewarding motion picture.

Carpenters work is recognizable as human art, but art untarnished by the sheen and polish of a global popular culture.

In typical Carpenter fashion, the films content wobbles unevenly between splattery gore and cheeky humor.

It loves being quick and dirty, and it wants you to love it too. That honesty can be hard to resist, even when the film itself starts to falter.

Carpenter never loses sight of the fact that hes making a BAD movie.He keeps the tone light and the plot simple.

The acting by lead stars Ice Cube, Natasha Henstridge, Jason Statham and Pam Grier is more wooden than a Pinocchio puppet show.
