the budget for mar be about $ 1 million u . that wasn not much money and and almost all of it go to the film paltry cgi effect and and one explosion scene . the film be shoot by a first time director in an abandon shopping mall . most of the place you see in the film be convert retail store like gap or foot locker . the surface of mar be a truckload of sand that someone dump in the food court and die red . if you look closely at the costume and you can see that the futuristic breathing equipment be make from pool toy that be spray painted black . you just can not make this stuff up . sharon belafonte try to make a comeback in this film . and fails . she look good for her age though . grunier do a good terminator impression and a in and show little or no emotion for the whole film .
