DVD : Robinson Crusoe on Mars - Criterion Collection |
- Great classic scifi!I finally got a hold of a copy of this wonderful classic scifi movie on DVD. Definitely not your usual scifi flick. This one covers subjects such as: finding water, air and food, suspicion and friendship and totally deals with the consequences of isolation. Not a "shoot-em-up" by any means, more of a thought provoking gem I'd say (OK, the special effects were just alright but it IS an old movie ya know), besides...Paul Mantee and Adam West were HOT! Mona was way cool too :) Nuff said...

- Stands above the restThis is one of the best of the era's many SF films that still holds up today. The special effects were as good as anything done up till that time, and the stop action animation for the alien ships was cool. The three main actors, Adam West, Paul Mantee, and Vic Lundin (who plays Friday) all did fine jobs, and this might have been the peak of Paul Mantee's career, who I don't recall ever doing another staring role like this, although he turns up briefly many years later in the Robert Duvall film, The Great Santini, 15 years or so later. I always (along with West) thought he should have gone much further.
The Martian landscape is beautifully and realistically portrayed, and the science about the Martian surface was accurate for the time. One of the strengths of the movie is in showing how difficult it would be to survive there, and I didn't mind the Deus ex machina of the oxygen containing rocks too much--after all--there wouldn't have been a story if not for that. :-) The final big scene with the meteror strike melting the Pole ice is still memorable, too. Overall, a fine SF classic from another day that stands heads and shoulders above the rest.

- Onbe of the best.Robinson Crusoe on Mars is one of the best SciFi films of it era and genre. Drawing as much as possible on the science, technology and expectations of the time, it avoids hokey monsters. The plot is an intense one man/two man story of survival. The script inserts several interesting elements. First rate cinematography, effects and score.
