Strictly average movie

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Memorable, crazy movie

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I am not sure why I watched this movie to the bitter end. The budget here could not have been lower. The costumes looked rather sad, as well as many of the sets. C. Thomas Howell has worked in a lot of these Syfy films, and he never disappoints. Within 30 minutes, Howell goes from super-jerk to psychopath, which I enjoyed. It doesn't waste my time on figuring out his character development. The Martians looked a lot like Earth guys who work out at a gym all day. Luckily there was breathable air in the pyramid, too! And how convenient that everyone (the multinational crew and the aliens) speaks English! The plot was full of holes, and if I can spot them while intentionally trying to relax my brain by watching a cheesy movie, then that is disappointing. A poor Stargate.

Of course CRIMSON FORCE won't shine in terms of spectacular but it is actually a fun movie, I mean if STARGATE ATLANTIS is popular enough to run for multiple seasons with similar CGI effects, how can this film be bad if it has the same crummy looking effects? Sure its not going to win any awards and true the storyline isn't anything to write home about, but its a good movie if you just switch your brain off and take it as it is.Plus the unintended humor is actually intended, I'd say if you're going to see this film, do so with all expectations on the floor and your brain turned off, if you're going in thinking you're going to see mainstream standard fare even if you do know this is a SCI-FI channel original, then you might as well write the word disappointment on your forehead.

What an absolutely horrible, misguided movie. Clearly, the writer was trying to take pieces of Mission to Mars, and Stargate, and trying to throw something together to pay the rent.The story is lame, the acting is non existent.Why does C Thomas Howell continue to do this kind of garbage.He may not be 'A List', but he is better than this nonsense.There are a couple of passable 'not so special' effects, but that's about it.I for one would be thrilled to see SciFi go back to airing old "B" flicks from the 50's, and maybe some more MST3K

This was such a bad movie, bad acting and just doesn't make a whole lot of since.C. Thomas Howell is such a bad actor. He was good in only one movie that I saw him in and that was the hitcher. Everything else is just so bad.1. A corporation is going to send out a billion dollar investment with a guy who is criminally insane at the helm and then mid way threw helped murder a crew member because he is paranoid.2. What is crew members eating at there stations. getting greasy fingers and hands all in the mix of mechanical parts.3. An advanced civilization which seams that doesn't know whats going on? Some foreign entities walk right through there front door and they don't know about it? Director:David Flores - Writer:Rob Mecarini - OK you two is this your first movie. It doesn't have to be good as Star Trek, Star Wars, SG1, Battestar Galactica. Even the movie the day the earth stood still from 1951 was better executed than this movie.You have to make movies believable, with a hint of truth and that it could happen and not some paranoid murderous ship captain.The very first sentence in the movie; Sir something is happening, he didn't say report, or what is happening, he said keep it steady, what????? You would think you are million miles from home, you would want to know every little creak and noise going on because there isn't a good year on every planet to get your ship fixed.
