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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
