When I read online last night that NASA would have some new
information on Mars today, I was excited. While I understand that it would not
be the alien disclosure many of us know they are hiding, it is interesting to
watch these press conferences and how they dance around the subject. With that
in mind, I decided that I wanted to watch something to get me focused,
eventually settling on 2015s Martian Land.
Plot/ In the distant future, a large portion of humanity
lives on Mars, in cities that resemble those once found on Earth. The cities
are protected from the inhospitable Martian atmosphere by dome-like force
fields. When a massive sandstorm breaks through the dome and destroys Mars New
York, those in Mars Los Angeles must figure out how to stop the storm before it
wipes them out next.
The first time I saw this one at Family Video I honestly
thought it was animated from the case, and in retrospect, may have been more
excited if it was. Coming from low budget stronghold The Asylum, this movie has
many issues and acts more as a propaganda piece for the global warming/climate
change trumpeters than an actual Sci-Fi entry. The scripting is uneven, the
performances match, and as usual the over-the-top CGI effects do nothing but
make it more laughable. Truly, this one would have likely been better as a
cartoon. In the end, there is nothing I can say about this one to spin it in a
positive light, as it is one of the more disappointing movies I have seen
lately coming from The Asylum. Stay Away!
