.....from watching it at the cinema when it was released. I have no idea how a director of so many brilliant classics was able to let his standards decline so much. This film is basically a remake of Assault On Precinct 13 set on Mars with the dead, or alive, being possessed by the original indigenous species. If a social commentary was in the film then it was lost on me (if that was the intention).
The extra features are of interest, but even they can't redeem the film. Just to ramble on for no other purpose than mine alone, I was hoping that time would have improved this film but it hasn't. So, I'm not even going to bother buying Vampires and instead I'll watch the truly brilliant films that he's directed again and again.

GHOSTS OF MARS DVD from Columbia

The DVD transfer is Anamorphice (bars top and bottom), good picture, sound and subtitles. Extras as listed here on the Amazon site. I haven't watched them. If it is a pure Adrenelin rush action filled film you want, and don't really care too much about the script or the acting, this could well be for you. The set up of the film is a bit distracting. Flashbacks and action from different character's viewpoints, but when the action really starts it is non stop - a bit too non stop for this horse. Plenty of fighting, explosions and general mayhem. Sadly the actors are either wasted (Pam Grier, Rosemary Forsyth) or are just wrong. Ice-Cube?? He is no Vin Diesel or Wayne Johnson - rather short and a bit chubby with zero charisma (he has made far better appearences - I liked him in "Anaconda"), Natasha Henstridge looks great and does exactly what you expect from an action heroine (she should have had top billing). I don't like Jason Staham - I'm sure he cares not a jot - he too does what is expected of him, and he is rather good. As is Clea DuVal and in a small part Wanda de Jesus. Not Carpenter's finest, but perhaps not as bad as some critics have written. It's fun, just go with it, and don't expect anything other than that.

John Carpenter’s Ghosts of Mars was exactly as I expected – rough around the edges and a marvellously entertaining and totally unpretentious action SF horror movie. Set in the second half of the 22nd century when Mars has been mostly terraformed this tale is told mostly in retrospect by Natasha Henstridge’s police Lieutenant, the sole survivor of a disturbing incident at an isolated mining town. The chance discovery of evidence of an ancient Martian civilization leads to some horrific consequences as hitherto dormant beings are released and encounter human invaders on their planet. Accompanied by a pulsating heavy rock soundtrack there are some exhilarating action scenes reminiscent of two of the director’s previous films – ‘Escape from New York’ and ‘Assault on Precinct 13’. There are some well-known actors present here – Pam Grier, Joanna Cassidy, Jason Statham – all of whom buy into this frankly ludicrous screenplay but, as with all the actors involved, are fully committed to this superior B-movie, and despite some obviously clunky dialogue there is so much here to enjoy. Not a movie with artistic pretentions by any means, but with its wry humour definitely a potential future cult classic. I liked it.

I'm a big John Carpenter fan, but I can't deny he made some pretty bad films in his later career. Ghosts of Mars is by any objective measure a bad film, essentially Assault on Precinct 13 set on Mars and with none of the atmosphere or tension and the bizarre flashbacks within flashbacks structure, but I would be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it. It has a certain trashy charm to it, with a likeable cast and very much feels like a throwback to the 80's, even including those stunts where a grenade makes a puff of smoke and nearby extras springboard into the air. The disc also comes packed with extras, so if you just want some brain-off fun, you could do a lot worse.

As an aside, despite predating it, Ghosts of Mars still feels to me like the closest we've got to a Doom 3 adaptation.

Great idea, good actors, Natasha Henstridge, nice effects - all comprehensively jarjarbinksed by poor scenario...

I really wanted to like this very promising SF/action film - but I simply couldn't. Below, more of my impressions, with some limited SPOILERS.

This film begins quite well indeed. On a largely terraformed Mars (air is breathable) governed by a matriarchate (!), a police patrol is dispatched by train (planes and choppers are absent from this movie) to a little mining town, to bring in custody a wanted criminal named James "Desolation" Williams (Ice Cube), just arrested by the local sheriff. But once the police patrol arrives, there is nobody to greet them there... And then the film begins.

The cast is one of the few strong points of this film. The police officer in command of the patrol is of course a woman, the very lesbian Commander Helena Braddock (Pam Grier). Her trusted (but not interested by her advances) second in command is Lieutenant Melanie Ballard (Natasha Henstridge). Under their orders are three more officers, the experienced tough Sergeant Nathan Jericho (Jason Statham) and two young rookies, Officer Bashira Kincaid (Clea DuVall) and Officer Michael Descanso (Liam Waite). Later in the film they will meet also another important secondary character, Doctor Arlene Whitlock (Joanna Cassidy).

As we can see, there was a lot of screen talent here. Pam Grier (thank you Quentin Tarantino for raising her from dead in "Jackie Brown") is still darn hot even at 51! Natasha Henstridge is GORGEOUS - in fact she is the main reason why I give this film two stars, as it would still be a pleasure to watch her even in a commercial for camembert... Jason Statham was at that time still in the beginning of his career (he was billed fourth!) but he certainly already showed big promise - also, making him a subordinate of not one but two women offered also some good opportunities for dialogs... Finally Clea DuVall, with her unique, non-conventional kind of beauty and veteran actress Joanna Cassidy were certainly also assets.

All of that however, together with the original premises and a considerable budget were wasted by the dirt-poor scenario, which the director should never have accepted in the first place, without a serious re-working. Therefore the one who must be blamed for the failure of this whole project is the director - John Carpenter. The man who made great films like "Escape from New York" and "The Thing", interesting flicks like "Assault on precinct 13", "Fog" and "Christine", comedies like "Dark Star", "They live" and "Vampires", as well as the burlesque head scratcher "Big trouble in Little China". And then this...

In this film we can actually see some reminiscences of his earlier works, but in a very inferior version. "Desolation" Williams is a kind of pale (pun very much intentional) copy of "Snake" Plissken. The idea of a besieged police post in which cops must make an alliance with criminals reminds of "Assault of precinct 13" - but is definitely less well shown. There is a kind of absolutely lethal mist like in "Fog" and an enemy who can hide amongst people you trust the most like in "The Thing". And then there is also a kind of tribute to this great cult classic "Heavy Metal" (a film John Carpenter was not involved with), especially the last story "Taarna", with Big Daddy Mars being an equivalent of Barbarian Leader and Melanie Ballard kind of reminding of Taarna herself...

Also, a great deal of lethal weaponry is used, which should in principle please action film freaks like me - you can check them in detail following this link to Internet Movie Firearms Database.

But all of this is mostly wasted in this film because of rather stupid scenario, mostly weak dialogs (there is only like two or three really good one liners or comebacks), not so good action scenes, interesting characters dying much too soon, disappointing use made of villains and of the Martian armoured train and last but not least a very lame ending. Also, the original ideas mentioned in the beginning (terraforming, Martian matriarchal government) or in the middle of the film (possibility of discovering Martian ancient artefacts) are not developed. At all. Instead, the film goes at "full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes" pace into a "shootout, gore and F... bombs" direction - and then fails to deliver good action scenes...

So bottom line, this is a huge disappointment and a waste of good idea, good actors and good money. Watchable only if there is nothing else and then only for Natasha Henstridge luminous beauty and nothing else. If possible, avoid.
