Robinson Crusoe on Mars is a great film, fairly scientifically accurate for its time. Mantee and Lundin are superb. For years I have loved this vastly underrated film and own the Criterion Collection version. I'm so glad you featured it in its own "Everything you need to know" video. It was great!

I watched this film on TV on Boxing Day morning with my Dad in 1970 or 1971 I am guessing when I was 7 or 8 years old. Watching the film that morning holds cosy, nice memories. I've never managed to see it since and in some ways the magic dies when you watch things as an adult that you remember so nostalgically in your mind. My Dad is long gone and I am 58 now - I am finally going to watch the film again given the comments mean my happy memories are of a good film!

*This movie was the 'first of it's kind' and is beyond question 'the best that could be done' in '64...it is still a 'benchmark' for every other serious 'space adventure' movie* *I once spoke with NASA engineer who was in Las Vegas in the late 70's about this very movie and he said "Everyone involved in the 'Apollo' program 'loved it' because it was 'damned good publicity' as well as being as 'correct as far as a fiction movie can be' and that the only real problem they had with it was 'The atmosphere was far too 'thick'...Mars has so little atmospheric-pressure if any human tried to breath it even once the lungs would collapse and begin 'bubbling-out' or words to that effect* *Imagine you're 70,000ft. up in Earth's atmosphere...without a pressure-suit, you would die very quickly because your own blood would begin to 'boil' from your own body-heat* *I first saw this at a 'drive-in' in Las Vegas ( the 'Skyway on Boulder Hwy'.) when I was ten and was so impressed with it that the feeling has never left me of 'this is great...this could be real!'...and it's very disheartening to realize I won't live long enough to see an American step foot on another World when it SHOULD have happened already*

This film is actually a beautiful time capsule. It highlights the emerging technology of the era, and explores a space that was virtually unknown. There were indeed expectations that Mars would be more Earthlike than Marslike. The Mariner missions showed how overly optimistic these expectations were, and the film's reputation may have suffered afterwards, but in more recent years it has been viewed more appropriately as a high point in Science Fiction filmmaking.

I never listen to movie critics. This is an excellent movie, tells a good story the effects were done well. When I first saw this film on a Saturday afternoon it was on the big screen and I was 10 or 11. I was very fortunate to grow up near a movie theater they played movies on Saturday and Sunday afternoon that us kids would line up and fill the theater not really knowing the movies besides what ever the window cards said. I went as often as I could some week I got to go both days. I saw musicals, space movies just everything was brought in I attribute my love for movies to that man that owned that theater it was like an education in cinema. Thanks for another good video

It's one of my favorite science fiction films. Some of the background music and sound effects on the way to Mars is similar to that found on TOS. I've tried to look to see what commonality there was whether in composing or orchestration or sound effects. But haven't been able to track down the common source. Probably something easy to see but I'm just overlooking it.

The Criterion blu-ray release of this is a must-have for any afficiando of sci-fi films. Watch it on a big screen, if you can. The Mars vistas (filmed in Death Valley), and the nearly flawless replacement of Earth's blue sky with Mars' red one, are amazing. There are also lots of closeup shots of Kip's equipment. And really shows the care and attention that went into the making of this movie.

I remember when this movie hit the theaters in the summer of 1964. I wanted to see it but was unable to because we went to camp instead. I was bitterly disappointed and had to wait 20 years to see it on TV. One of my favorite scenes was where Paul Mantee is watching a survival video on how to find water in the desert and comments about how boring he remembers the lecturer being. It was such a touchingly believable and human thing to do, and served to reinforce to the audience just how far away from civilization and help he really was.
