			==Reception==
			Upon its release, Origins received a mixed reception, reflecting some challenges in translating the rich and action-packed Red Faction universe into a narrative feature film format. While some appreciated the deep exploration into the series' lore and character development, many fans of the series felt that the adaptation didn't fully capture the essence of the Red Faction experience as seen in the games.

			Film critics pointed out issues with pacing and the integration of story elements from the games, with some suggesting that Origins likely wouldn't resonate particularly well the expectations of the fan base. Despite these critiques, Origins remains a noteworthy attempt to expand the narrative universe of Red Faction, offering insights and backstories that enrich the broader context of the Martian rebellions and the struggles on Mars.

			Though it might not have achieved the acclaim of other parts of the franchise, Origins holds a notable place in the series as a bridge between major game installments, as well as a notable exploration of the universe's potential in different media formats.
