Red Faction: Origins
Can Alec save everyone?
In the year 2125, Alec Mason led the Martian Colonies to freedom in the hit action game Red Faction: Guerrilla. Now, Syfy and THQ are teaming up to continue the saga of conflict on Mars 25 years later in an all-new Original Movie, Red Faction: Origins. Stargate Universe's Brian J. Smith stars as Jake Mason, son of revolutionary hero Alec Mason (Terminator 2's Robert Patrick) and a Red Faction ranger. Fighting to preserve Martian freedom, Jake encounters a powerful new enemy in a dangerous and mysterious group led by the charismatic Adam Hale (Torchwood's Gareth David-Lloyd) and holding secrets that will rock the Mason clan. Jake must now battle the relentless regime and somehow reunite a family torn apart by war. Red Faction: Origins also stars Battlestar Galactica's Kate Vernon and The Tudors' Tamzin Merchant, and will feature music from Bear McCreary (Battlestar Galactica).

Not Woke
For all of us looking to find older television / cinema for entertainment due to prejudice and or ideological beliefs being pressed, this film hits the mark.
Firstly, this Made for TV movie is based off of a video game, so just a heads up. It cycles around the story from the Red Faction: Guerilla story and follows the son of Alec Mason. It dives into many current political trends and reminds us that in the face of all diversity, we're all people. Be it Earth born or of a Skin Pigmentation, the strive to be better is a choice, not a requirement.
The movie contains no woke idelogical messaging and encompasses a dying ideology that we're all created equal and no one man (or woman) is above another in the grandest schema that is life. Very great movie and if you're looking for something to entertain without agenda pushing or nonsensical ideology, this may be for you. 5/5 stars.
