The place is Mars. The year is like… sometime in the future. Human kind is on this planet and there’s a colony there where bitches are running the place – some kind of matriarchy or whatever it is called. And there’s a shitload of lesbians too! No wonder it looks like shit and everything goes to hell. But at least there are women which always are nice to look at – if you just push the mute button on their asses, that is. A quiet woman is a good woman, I’ve learned.

Anyways. A group of some girls and some newcomers and Jason Statham are set out to bring back an alledgedly serious deadly criminal (Ice Cube). However, as they arrive to the prison where he’s located, there seem not to be anybody at all there, and soon enough they discover that something terrible has happened. And later on they are attacked by people who have been possessed by some kind of martian ghost. Or something like that.

The whole movie is then built upon flashbacks, where the female police officer has to tell the court what happened out there.

Some notes I made when watching Ghosts of Mars:

• Martian (human) police officers wear leather robes for gear. But what the fuck for?
• By wearing some ugly ass swimming glasses you can breathe on Mars.
• Darwin award goes to the guy who chops his thumb off trying to show off for a girl. Stupid fuck, serves him right.
• Shootouts and fights are much more cool if you have distorted metal riffs playing in the background. True story. (KICKASS!)

Ghosts of Mars was actually entertaining, albeit a bit… umm… what should I say… predictable and not-so-scary-as-I-think-John-Carpenter-intended. It was funny at some times too. Ending was really too corny, which degrades the score for this movie a whole lot.

It has a long way from being one of my favourite movies, but I didn’t really dislike it either. Way better than much other bullshit I’ve been watching. I wouldn’t suggest Ghosts of Mars to be your first-choice Sci-Fi movie though. You’re better of with Aliens or something like that.
