It's a low budget movie that has lofty ambitions. The cast is good enough and the effects are fine. I still reckon it gave Joss Whedon ideas for the Reavers, in Firefly and Serenity.
I dont know why, but I just cant get on with Ghosts Of Mars. I own it as part of my John Carpenter collection and have tried to watch it a few times, but have always turned it off about a third of the way in (one of the reasons may be I always start it late at night and get tired).

I really should give it a proper chance some day.
