What to Know

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. Dec 31, 2017 Full Review 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 Jun 13, 2017 Full Review Geoffrey Macnab Independent (UK) This sci-fi drama begins promisingly but loses its way in the Martian dust. Rated: 2/5 Apr 11, 2014 Full Review Don Shanahan Every Movie Has a Lesson Suspension of disbelief is a requirement for any science fiction film, but this one loses its intelligence and jumps too far down the sinkhole it started with. Rated: 1/5 Jul 20, 2025 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The material proves describable only through other films and never stands out on its own. Rated: 2.5/4 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Richard Crouse Richard Crouse 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. Rated: 2/5 Feb 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Korra N Far better than anyone gives it credit for, this thriller is less sci-fi horror & much more a grim character study about a group of scientists who, frustrated & defeated after finding nothing viable to research, are forced to deal with the mistakes of those who kept secrets. Outstanding performances, taut direction & great visuals here. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/13/25 Full Review Dave W I have no clue why this is rated as bad as it is. Super intense with great scary scenes. I personally think it’s a great movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/11/25 Full Review Paul S 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 05/22/25 Full Review Janet A 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Zach V Not sure why this movie gets such bad reviews. Loved it. Great cast , great acting , cool dark story. Great intense eerie space movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review J V Excellent cast slow burn set props that are a tinge above a B grade film. I enjoyed it but oh my what this movie could have been Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
