Quick Synopsis
In the 21st century, scientists working on a space program aimed to make Mars habitable by introducing cockroaches and mold to the planet; the mold would absorb sunlight and feed on the cockroach remains to gradually warm the environment. By the year 2577, the first manned mission arrives on Mars with six crew members prepared to explore the planet. However, they encounter giant, mutated humanoid cockroaches possessing great physical strength. The crew is quickly overwhelmed and killed, though they manage to send a distress signal back to Earth. In response, humanity organizes a team of elite fighters to travel to Mars with the goal of exterminating the mutated creatures and reclaiming the planet.
Detailed Synopsis of Terra Formars
With the space program attempting to travel to Mars, 21st century scientists were tasked with warming up the planet so that humans could survive on its surface. They came up with an efficient and cost effective plan of sending cockroaches and mold to the surface so that the mold would absorb the sunlight and the insect corpses would serve as a food source for the mold. It is now the year 2577 and the first manned ship to Mars has landed on the planet and the six crew members are ready for their mission. But what they find are giant mutated humanoid cockroaches with incredible physical strength. The crew members are easily wiped out, but not before sending a transmission back to Earth. Now, humanity will send elite warriors to exterminate the mutated bugs and claim back Mars.
