Story 4.5/10 : The story's concept was interesting, the opening scene really draws you in (its a shame they couldn't continue this throughout the whole film) and gets you curious. However, the story just turns out to be boring with an excessive amount of flashbacks. Although, the latter still doesn't help the viewer relate to the characters like when people died I really was just like 'oh'. I really wish they had spent more time on character development because there were some real bad ass female characters that sadly didn't have a lot of time to shine. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen even the so called 'plot twist' really did nothing for me I just was like 'oh' lol. The CGI on mars was good but the cockroaches I wish they'd been more scary looking they just looked sad and kind of harmless.The action scenes were the only good thing for me about this film they were really good actually but I'd exchange those in a heartbeat for a more interesting plot. Oh and I don't think I really mentioned this but the female characters were really good in the sense that they never expected any guy to save them they were really strong and independent which was very refreshing! Acting/Cast 6/10 : The acting was okay there was no-one that was glaringly bad. I was so excited about the cast btw because Yamapi and Emi and Yamada but they failed to impress me or really add anything. HOWEVER, Oguri Shun really outdid himself with his characterization, I almost didn't recognize him! I was really impressed with him ( I don't know why he is a phenomenal actor). You could really see the effort he took with his mannerisms and tone from the moment he stepped out the hovercraft lol. I was almost wishing he'd played his character a little more crazy and eccentric just to offset the boring mess of everyone else! (Btw why were people randomly speaking English I was so confused lol!) Music 1/10: Was there music? I almost wish there had been noticeable good music maybe it would've of spiced up the movie a little bit! Kind of like suicide squad the movie sucked but at least they had good music!! Rewatch Value: Yeah its a no for me! The story isn't interesting enough for me to re-watch and if I want to watch a sci-fi movie similar in set-up to this one I'll just refer to Ridley Scott can't go wrong with Aliens! Overall 6.5/10: The plot wasn't interesting but the action scenes were a majority of the film which helped a lot. So basically watch if you really like action and don't care if the plot is boring and not interesting. But if your watching for the actors honestly DONT i promise you they have better and more note worthy works then this film. However, if your a big Oguri Shun fan and want to see another example of his awesomeness , (albeit wasted on this film) go for it! Overall the story had such an interesting concept I just wish it would have been executed better!
