There’s
something bad happening to the colonists on Mars. Something is turning people
into evil bloody killers, death metal freaks with a fondness for chopping
people’s heads off and sticking them on poles. Evidently the colonists have
reawakened the original Martians – some kind of organism – when they started
terraforming the planet.
It is probably meant as an action parody and it is amusing at times. If it weren’t for the obnoxious and unnecessary sexist and racist stereotypes it might have been good. Sort of.
