Re: How good is this movie

It is, of course, difficult to judge if someone will like a movie, but I can tell you I'll pick up a copy as soon as it's out. From what I can tell, it's not going to be available for much under 30 dollars, but I'm still getting it.

This story concerns an astronaut who is stranded on Mars alone (at least for a while). It begins with two, but after the capsules crash into Mars the one astronaut is by himself struggling for survival against huge odds. I don't want to give too much away.

Now this being 1964, the film is scientifically inaccurate in it's portrayal of Mars.(Temperature, atmosphere etc.) I think, however, the visuals are terrific. You also really care about the plight of the astronaut. RCOM was shot in Death Valley and looks great. Also, don't look for Martian monsters; it's not that kind of movie.

And it is more or less a retelling of the Robinson Crusoe story.

You may wait quite a while to see this on TV. I wish TCM would show it.
However, if you enjoy good storytelling in your Sci-Fi I think this would cover it. Also, it looks like this DVD is going to have some nice extras and a great transfer of the movie. I think it's only going to come in wide screen. This is the way the movie was originally shot and that will be quite an advantage. The sweeping Martian landscapes will look great. (Anyway, I always look for the original aspect ratio of a movie)

I Hope this helped

Oh, one more thing thay may help one way or the other. Although this movie is has struggle/survival element, it also has it's share of lighter moments. They do not distract from the story.

Adam West is in the film too.
