Critics Consensus

Neither intelligent enough to work as thought-provoking sci-fi nor trashy enough to provide B-movie thrills, The Last Days on Mars proves as cinematically barren as the titular planet.

Kate Muir

The Times (UK)

Liev Schreiber and Romola Garai struggle to find chemistry in their Mars rover, while Olivia Williams keeps her exasperation at full throttle.

Tirdad Derakhshani

Philadelphia Inquirer

A sci-fi-horror yarn stocked with a winning cast but hobbled by a lamebrained script and dull set pieces.

Rated: 2/4

This sci-fi drama begins promisingly but loses its way in the Martian dust.

Deep Focus Review

The material proves describable only through other films and never stands out on its own.

Rated: 2.5/4

Spends a bit too much time in faux Kubrick Mode before switching to full-on Corman style exploitation, but once it clicks over it'll make your pulse race.

Robinson has crafted a film that is too simple and too similar to other titles, an unconvincing rendering that fails to engage.

This movie was not as bad as the reviewers say. It had its flaws, but it was a really intriguing movie with a compelling plot and a lot of intense scenes. I definitely recommend it for sci-fi and horror fans!

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I am not sure why this got such a bad wrap. I like when the stories make sense and I liked that they used so many different fears to make this story so scary and interesting. Maybe they wanted more love and affection between the two characters in love? But I felt like the story as a whole was great. Compared to some of the movies made today, in fact if this movie was aired now, it would probably do better than the stories of today because it’s interesting and no one is pushing agendas and it’s new. It’s not a remake. I definitely recommend watching.

Just awful. It never even seemed like it might eventually start getting better. Just bad the entire way through.
