The DVD says:

From John Carpenter, the master of horror behind 2000's hit John Carpenter's Vampires and classics like The Thing and Halloween, comes a sci-fi thriller full of explosive action and bone-chilling suspense. Natasha Henstridge (Species) is Melanie Ballard, a headstrong police lieutenant on Mars in the year 2025. Humans have been colonising and mining on the red planet for some time, but when Ballard and her squad are sent to a remote region to apprehend the dangerous criminal James "Desolation" Williams, played by Ice Cube (Three Kings), they discover that he's the least of their worries. The mining operations have unleashed a deadly army of Martian spirits who take over the bodies of humans and won't stop until they destroy all invaders of their planet. With a stellar cast including Pam Grier (Jackie Brown), Jason Statham (Snatch) and Clea Duvall (The Faculty), as well as explosive special effects, John Carpenter's Ghosts Of Mars is an intergalactic terror fest like you've never seen.

My Opinion:

Not the best movie from John Carpenter. The storyline is fairly poor which leads to an overall average film even though the special effects try to make up for it and the cast is fairly star studded. The commentary is only saved because Natasha Henstridge joins the boring John Carpenter to liven things up. The featurettes provide interesting behind the scenes information and footage that John Carpenter fails to mention in his commentary.
