On the last day of the first manned mission to Mars, a crew member of Tantalus Base believes he has made an astounding discovery - fossilized evidence of bacterial life. Unwilling to let the relief crew claims all the glory, he disobeys orders to pack up and goes out on an unauthorized expedition to collect further samples. But a routine excavation turns to disaster when the porous ground collapses and he falls into a deep crevice and near certain death. His devastated colleagues attempt to recover his body. However, when another vanishes, they start to suspect that the life-form they have discovered is not without danger. Written by

Ruairi Robinson stated that as a first time director, to get to work with a cast of that caliber was amazing. On the casting process, he commented that he "sort of picked cast members that never normally do this kind of film. They all do serious proper movies". He also said that he "liked the idea of putting people who would never normally do Sci-Fi stuff into a Sci-Fi movie, because they are going to take it seriously then and people are going to take them seriously".

While the CGI is quite good for this low-budget movie and there are a few relatively big-name actors present, the script is horrendous. Quick summary: astronauts nearing the end of their stay on the Martian space station compete with each other for a great scientific discovery only to find pre-existing life on Mars that turns men into zombies. Yep, you have zombies on Mars. What more could you want?
Well, that is easy maybe a little mystery and/or tension. And how about a script that introduces a concept that we have not seen before? Space is dangerous. Check. Scientists are just like everybody else they have egos, are competitive, and can get jealous. Check. Alien life. Check. Bacteria turns humans to zombies who want to kill everyone. Check.
If you have time to kill, there are worse ways to spend it than watching this average movie (if it is free). But since there are so many other good movies, I cannot recommend any time be spent with this one.
