About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want tense Mars isolation horror with pressure-filled crew survival; Not for you if you’re tired of zombie-like threat plots like Screamers or want a more purely science-focused story like Life.
Pros: atmospheric isolation; good sets/effects; strong performances | Cons: shaky, uneven pacing; horror feels predictable; some viewers found it dull
