In reply to Dan. I certainly wouldn't pay to see it again. Free to air is probably the way to go, although I suspect it'll be chopped heavily when it does.

In reply to rtm. It's worth at last one look, Ruth, but not much more. Enjoy!! ;)

In reply to Dan O.. Spot on, Dan! The film uses that lazy cover-all "zombie" stuff; simply by using the word we're expected to fill in a lot of the blanks ourselves, which is aggravating. You're right - there's no explanation or even resolution to the "zombie" aspects of the movie, leaving us in limbo as to the genesis, or even conclusion to, this particualr story.

I had a feeling this would be pretty bad from the trailer but I still might give it a shot. I love Romola Garai and Olivia Williams, both are such underrated British actresses! My recent post The Returned (Les Revenants) – Your next TV obsession

Good review Rod. The movie looks good and the cast definitely tries their hardest, but nothing really thrills you. Also, it's a bit confusing as we have no idea where these life-forms come from, why they exist and how you can get rid of them. They're just there to cause a problem, but no solution seems possible.

If this was a 1980s film I'd probably love it but this is the first I've heard about The Last Days on Mars. It seems to have enough going for it to give it a whirl when it arrives on free-to-view TV... My recent post Coming-of-age isn’t easy in dark drama Broken
