Trivia
Romola Garai, who has appeared in more than a few period pieces, stated that "wearing a space suit is exactly the same as wearing a corset. It's equally uncomfortable".

Goofs
The opening shot shows heat haze across the Martian desert, which is impossible because it is so cold that it barely reaches freezing temperatures, even at midday on the equator. In any case, at about 1% of Earth's atmospheric pressure, the Martian atmosphere is far too thin for the refraction necessary to form a heat haze.

Pretty decent Sci Fi

First of all its a low budget Sci Fi but its very well done for its budget.

The premise is there is a team of scientists on Mars carrying out research until they make a discovery that will jeopardise their mission with just a few days left till they return home.

The tension and feeling of the crew going a bit stir crazy is very well done in this film. They also capture the moments of having to make choices very well and this is what drives the film.

Its not the greatest film I have seen but for what it is, its pretty decent. Don't expect loads of action e.t.c as the film is based on tension and mental anguish.

The SFX is actually really good as well as the sets and the backdrops, it does everything that is required to make it realistic enough to enjoy .

I give it a 7 out of 10 and well made effort. xx
