“In the ranks of cinematic journeys to Mars, Settlers ranks among the less fancifully and lavishly invented, yet it’s all the more effective for its earthly restraint.”~Variety
Aroview: An isolated settlement on Mars becomes a fiercely contested battleground between families in this beautifully crafted and quietly devastating sci-fi drama, anchored by a fine performance by child actress, Brooklynn Prince (THE FLORIDA PROJECT).
Trust and loyalties are tested through a series of breaking points that radically alter the group dynamic and, in turn, what is at stake for the survivors. This unpredictable narrative is steered by the patient and confident hand of writer-director Wyatt Rockefeller in a debut every bit as impressive as Duncan Jones’ similarly understated “Moon” (2009).

2 stars (Good Try) The screenplay wasn't particularly different in any way and didn't need to be set on Mars, except for the tin can on wheels I suppose, and I bet it was shot on Earth anyway. ~Tubbs
