No reviews at the time of writing, so here goes mine :) Red Planet is a surprisingly decent movie. It does not excel in any department but it does not fail in any neither. I know many people hate the computer graphics but here it kinda fits the setting. Most of the time we're shown spaceships, corridors, bugs, and soldiers in full armor; and it looks really good. It does not look that good when the focus shifts to unarmored humans, or when the soldiers remove their helmets. Normal humans move... weird (for lack of a better term) and faces look off too. The story and charactersare quite predictable, but to my surprise this installment does have some of the dark humor, sarcasm and criticism of the fascist state that the Verhoeven movie had. So it gets bonus points there.

The action, like the rest of the movie, is not top notch but is way better than average. It does not go too far into gore territory but it does not shy away from some dismemberment either. The guns are solid, the bugs agile and fierce, and the mechs (yes, it has mechs) kick ass.

Overall 7/10 and better than the previous (Starship Troopers: Invasion).
