These things only serve to help a project an Evolved Terraformar wishes to accomplish. All Terraformars also have a great work ethic, and since they can't feel pain or exhaustion they're quite liable to literally work themselves to death. They also appear to be somewhat intelligent. Under an Invoker's influence they have sense of community but to them there's is no difference in attachment to their parents than a roadside flower.

They don't appear to have much of a society, but the Evolved Terraformars do display a degree of leadership, rallying their brothers into a capable fighting force. There are many types, and their exact behavior can vary depending on the individual, but they usually keep an emotionless expression on their faces. They are descendants of cockroaches and seem to bear a sort of instinctive hatred for humanity. They are animalistic, adaptable, and bent on survival. They bare a physical resemblance to Homo erectus. Watch how the exterminators become the exterminated, as these hand-picked criminals dressed to impress in their space suits are facing something much more than your standard cockroach like first thought as now they've evolved into humanoid killing machines intent of slaughtering humans.The Terraformars are human-sized Martian cockroaches with humanoid bodies. Really the plot plays secondary to the on-screen action set-piece after set-piece of cartoon-like CG activity. And most of the cast are killed before reaching the hour mark! From then onwards it only gets weirder and absurd in its denouncements, while giving a little exposition to remaining characters. They're thrown together in such a careless, rushed manner that when the deaths pile up there's little emotional impact. Characters and their story arches have no real clarity. And I mean a lot of squishing! So it can get messy watching beefed-up humanoid cockroaches, humans and hybrid human-insects with their limbs tenaciously torn off, heads being snapped back and insides seeping out, but this messiness also included the minor storytelling. A run-of-the-mill beginning (the dirty dozen in a futuristic set-up on a mission to the planet Mars) succumbs to a smorgasbord of heavy CG, bug morphing accompanied by a informative lesson on the insects the character become, hammy dialogues, ridiculously crazy fight sequences and volatile bug squishing.

"Terra Formars" is downright nonsensical sci-fi pulp. So in a way I wasn't too sure what was lifted from the source material compared to what was Miike doing his signature madcap craziness. Reading the outline for this film, it seemed like Miike could have fun. Sometimes you are picking up your jaw from off the ground, while other times you're left scratching your head and then possibly awe-struck because you're seeing something rather normal. Each tonally different to the point you don't know what to expect. The varied career of Miike, churning out films like no other. I knew nothing of the manga series, but Takashi Miike's involvement - I thought I'll give it a shot and see what he would bring to the fold.

Sitting on the couch "Terra Formars" just happened to be playing on my TV screen. Reviewed by lost-in-limbo 5 / 10 Hella crazy, yet sort of entertaining. This was more science fantasy than science fiction. No explanation of gravity in the ship, no delay in transmission to Mars.which varies between 4 and 24 minutes. When they were not engaged in fighting, they were engaged in boring dialogue. No Caspar Van Diem with a machine gun.which at some point would have been welcomed. Rather than just kill them with conventional weapons, the crew resorts to injecting themselves with the DNA of various insects to give themselves a superpower as told by the narrator in order to make their superpower seem feasible and create Comic-Con outfits. When they get there, they discover the roaches are large, humanoid, and aggressive. A crew of selected criminals and others go to Mars in 2599 to eliminate the roach problem. In the crowded 21st century it was decided to green (terraform) Mars so human life can inhabit it.
