Robinson Crusoe on Mars ~ Yet Another Stinky Movie
The things I sit through for you people. I have to tell you now, you all owe me on this one big time. Robinson Crusoe on Mars is slow, boring, and so incredibly stupid I had to force myself to sit through to the end.
This is about an astronaut who gets stranded on Mars. Now, in the...

A Red Island of a Planet
Robinson Crusoe on Mars' (1964) basic appeal is essentially that of the Robinsonade, or stranded-on-a-deserted-island story. Robinsonade is a word coined for the multitude of literary imitations and variations that followed in the wake of Daniel Defoe's 1719 novel Robinson Crusoe. The title... Read full review »
Scientific Knowledge Be Damned! It's ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS
One of the more obscure science fiction films to come out of that genre?s heyday in the 1960s was this interesting little film, an adaptation of Daniel Defoe?s classic story about a man deserted on an island who learns to fend for himself to survive. In the case of 1964?s ROBINSON CRUSOE ON MARS,... Read full review »
Not the stuff Oscar-caliber flicks are made of
Robinson Crusoe on Mars is not the kind of movie that classics are made from. It's like a big screen version of a 1960's Star Trek episode if for only slightly more expensive production values than your average William Shatner episode. Star Wars this is not. This is precisely the kind of movie that... Read full review »
A Sci-Fi Cult Classic
This is a retelling of Daniel Defoe's "Robinson Crusoe" with a fantasy twist, complete with monkey (played by "Barney") and a "Man Friday", who is an alien and a runaway slave. The location scenes were shot in Death Valley, in Technicolor and Techniscope, and added to the film's visual appeal. The... Read full review »
Robinson Crusoe On Mars - Beyond The Bat Cave
"Robinson Crusoe On Mars" is an interesting movie; I'm sorry if that sounds like a lame comment, but that's the only adjective that fits. Of course, "interesting" can mean many things, but "interesting" for this movie means it's intelligently directed, well-acted, absorbing, and even still... Read full review »
No Monkey Business On this Planet, Sir
The New York Times describes it as "charming" and American Movie Channel opined that it might have influenced Stanley Kubrick's four years younger and monumental "2001: A Space Odyssey". It is reported that director Byron Haskin re-wrote the script in an effort to create at least a somewhat... Read full review »
Major Matt Mason: the movie
I re-lived this movie many times as a young child with Dad's old motorcycle helmet underneath the swing set playing Cmdr. Christopher "Kit" Draper,(with my dog filling in for the monkey role.) Alone on a alien world trying to fine the essentials of life...Air,water,food,while stumbling along in a... Read full review »
One of my all-time favorites
I've probably seen this movie on TV 20 times, yet each time it plays on TV, I still make sure to set a reminder to watch it again. Sure, its not full of all the high-tech stuff you see in today's movies, but that's one of the things I like most about it. In many ways, its an honest, what-if? movie... Read full review »
