Yes, I enjoyed it. I would have enjoyed it a lot more without all the flaws.
Main character: Makes some pretty stupid errors of judgement but goes full Mary Sue invincible grrrl-power warrior princess in the second half. Performs combat miracles a Navy Seal who is also a Ninja Warrior would find hard to equal.
Stone tomahawk throwing super-weapon on a string: very unlikely.
Predator comes across as incredibly powerful... until it fights Mary Sue.
Some anachronisms and geographical errors that are a bit jarring.
Main character comes across as very self-aggrandizing and egoistic to the expense of her tribe.

A thing of beauty and horror, unexpected twists and turns, simply marvelous. Well done.
So rarely do I get to see a movie that really surprises me, but this one did, over and over.
There is some graphic violence and a little cussing, some drinking and a little drug use... but it's about crime, so what do you expect.
The relative indifference of police to a home burglary at an ordinary person's house is very relatable.
8.5 stars, wonderful film, even a twist at the very end.

...to appreciate this film, and even then it could be better.
Mars does have water, btw, and a breathable atmosphere could be produced through various processes. The huge dome for just one farm is a bit of a stretch.
But this isn't really about Mars, and the sci-fi elements are mainly window dressing.
Many questions are raised, but answers are scant and no more than hints. If you can be patient with that, it tells an interesting story about human nature and desperation, but it is a rather grey and grim story with nothing uplifting.
That, in the end, is why I don't give it more than 5 stars, despite good performances and accomplishing a lot on a limited budget. It's very dystopian, in the most depressing sense.
