Earthrise

This movie has bad acting, bad sets, bad makeup, bad camera work, bad editing, etc. But it's low budget, so what do you expect. All that could have been forgiven, If it wasn't for the god awful pointless script.

There are plot holes that you could drive a truck through. There are sections of dialog that completely contradict themselves in the time from starting a sentence, to finishing it. The character motivations are poorly defined and pointless. The scenes are not in chronological order. They jump around without any discernible orientation (did this thing happen before that other scene, or after it?). This technique is completely irrelevant to the story telling element. There are plenty of hints of foreshadowing, like there was going to be some big reveal that would explain the editing and bring everything together. Needless to say, I was profoundly disappointed at the lack of a payoff.

This is probably the worst sci-fi I have ever seen. Plan 9 from outer space was more coherent than this.

Great premise, in that earth has now become the alien planet after humanity has relocated to Mars. The acting can feel a little forced in some scenes. As well as the pacing of the film kind of dragged a bit, but it still worth checking out especially if you're into sci-fi!

The acting is unbearably bad. I mean, seriously awful

I'm looking for a movie or possibly even a series set on Mars. I've been scratching my head for some.time now,and I am not getting any closer. What i remember is:A fairly large base on Mars,partially underground in a large cavern the rest above ground in classic Mars movie arcitecture style habitats. There is a full science team working in hydroponics run by a pretty depressed leading botanist professor type. He frequently hallucinates about earth,seeing his beloved earth right outside the windows of the hydroponics. And one day he simply decides to open up the airlock and walk outside,as you can imagine to everyones as to his own disaster. I also remember a female scientist who works at the base having a scientist Sister at NASA on earth that she contantly communicates with on science issues. So I am hoping this might trigger someones memory and hoping someone might leave a note here to me on this. I am going to save this comment and plaster it anywhere I can,but as I say,I hope it will be you who decides to help me.

Thank you!

this easily should be rated a 3 out of 10! the current 5.1 is far too generous, heck even a 3 is generous. the opening scene was pretty indicative of how poorly it was all put together so i really didn't need to torture myself for another 40 minutes until i finally could not take it anymore. i am quite certain i have seen better camera work on Youtube from 12 year old's, yea it really is that bad. anyone rating this above 3 stars is either easy to please or is involved with the project in some way, is a fake review or was payed or influenced to put something on here to skew the vote. pathetic. Unfortunate, because we see this a lot here on IMDb especially with lower budget movies like this one being a perfect example. if you really have nothing better to do, you can always see it for yourself but be warned, this is utter garbage!
