Robinson Crusoe On Mars - A51Watcher2 - 08-23-2023
An old school sci-fi classic that has the same visual effects and sound effects team that the original War Of The Worlds had.
This 1964 Hollywood science-fiction film was released a year before NASA's Mariner 4 spacecraft took the first closeup images of the planet Mars. While the Mars depicted in the film is inaccurate as we know it today, it is a curious artifact because represents the best depiction of the Red Plant known at the time, the fading days of astronomer Percival Lowell's idea of Martian canals. The film story is engaging and the matte art visuals are still terrific to view. American director Byron Haskin was a master at science fiction films ("War of the Worlds", "The Outer Limits", etc.). This is among his best films.

I loved that scene when the stranded astronaut saw the alien slavers lording over their slaves in a Martian mine. Or when they went up to the icy pole, that was pretty good too. Just a really good movie that I loved as a kid. Thanks for bringing it up.

Yeah me too. 'Mona' was my favorite character.
