Don't waste a minute of your life watching this. One of the worst movies ever made.
... View MoreIt's not great, in fact it's a pretty naff piece of junk but by the Asylums's standards it's a masterpiece.The plot is unfocused and all over the place and doesn't make much sense from one minute to the next. Most of the acting is one note (but then so are the characters so it's hardly ALL the actors fault - some of the dialogue is execrable) and some of the acting is okay. (The stand out was Arianna Afsar who did a pretty good job with a minimum of material.) The SFX are not terrible. All in all, the usual. Ho Hum.But there is one aspect to the film which was refreshing. The two young women trapped at the start of the film and who have to make their way through the course of the film from point A to Point B to do something important - are a couple. They're a lesbian couple. And nothing much is made of it. It's not played up for titillation. It's not polemical. That they are gay is not a problem for the characters, or anyone they encounter. It just is. They're gay - so what? Background stuff - and they both survive to end of the film! Martian Land not going to win any GLAAD awards but Yaaaaay! it's a step!

For a low budget production, especially one from this production house, the effects are not actually all that bad - certainly watchable. The acting is also, whilst not perfect, far from terrible.The plot is fairly predictable, using the usual "family vs environmental disaster with long car chase" format employed in a lot of this company's work but the end result is certainly watchable and fairly enjoyable in an non-challenging way.This is the level that The Asylum should be aiming for more of its low-budget productions - before then aiming a bit higher if possible.
... View MoreI do not tend to exaggerate, but I can say for sure this makes the top five of the worst films ever. Never in my lifetime of watching films have I ever seen a film that has kept me so uninterested, so bored, so frustrated with its meaningless events, its miscreation and constant super effort to become something important and special. There was no acting, there was nothing that could actually save this. From the very beginning to the very end a void. A void that was so vast that engulfed everything and everyone that were and took part in this. I do not know what "inspired" and led these people to be part of this production. Bottom line? No, no, no, never again!
