Flight to Mars | English Full Movie | Drama Sci-Fi

[@debbiebalnaves4842]

I'll take these old movies anyday over the new one from 2000 to date 😊

[@Dan-gk7ti]

What is hilarious about all those old sci-fi movies is that they always manage to fit 5 or 6 people in a small space ship and they all go on board wearing their everyday civilian clothes. Just think that 30 years later, just to orbit the Earth, we only manage ONE man and he wears excessively bulky specialize clothing.

[@stoneyrunva]

Love these old campy sci fi films. We didn't even know there were other galaxies at the time this film was made.

[@harryhanz1690]

Actually we did. Edwin Hubble confirmed the existence of the And rounds galaxy in 1923. Scientist such as Harlow Shelley had been of the opinion there were other galaxies outside the Milky Way for decades.

[@paulsmodels]

Mars with snow all over it. No spacesuits. A race living underground, and they can hear us but we can't hear them on earth. I love it!

I liked the war surplus B-17 ball turret being used as part of the spaceship drive.

This showed us how good The Forbidden Planet was. It was made only 7 years after this, and still stands up to scrutiny.

[@im1who84u]

One of my favorite sci-fi movies.

[@nikkicole3331]

I love the artistic backgrounds painted for this movie. They look like the covers of Sci Fi magazines of the era.

[@davidnikoloff3211]

Of all the 50s sci-fi films I have seen, this was one of them.

[@adrinathegreat3095]

Today they spend billions making movies with latest cgi etc, and we still end up with cars driving off of 20 stories buildings and driving off or passengers getting out of a plane mid flight and jumping across to another plane, punching the window in, dragging the pilot out and flying off in the plane. Basically real life cartoons

[@josenighthawk]

The great thing about early Sci-Fi is that by being CHEESIER, by having more special effect 'flaws', than contemporary Sci-Fi, they allow the child in you, despite your age (I am 67), to still come out to fill in these 'Cheese Holes' - these 'gaps' - with your own inner child's fantasies. ... Yes, CHEESE IS GOOD!!

[@MadPaperPeople]

and people think we never went to the moon...well here's proof we went to mars..

[@Aspasia2929]

Right.,, they believe NASA employed 400k people… ALL in this MASSIVE CONSPIRACY… they’d likely believe this version of events. It’s an insult to the men who risked their lives to get us their!

[@robertcartier5088]

Imagine being born to a planet that has one third the gravity of Earth, then coming to Earth where everything, including your body, feels 3 times heavier. Those poor Martians are about to experience the gravity of the situation. ;-]

1951, six years after the war, most of these guys were vets. I had to laugh at the sight of all the Eames chairs. Back then we thought they looked super-futuristic. They served as the template for the modern waiting-room chair in airports, train stations, ferry terminals, doctors' offices . . .

[@alonzocalvillo6702]

I thought I was the only one who noticed the Eames chairs.We had those in the General Motors cafeteria back in the 70’s.

So , as civilized and advanced the Martians were, they had to depend an Earth radio broadcasts to learn their language.I see this idea in a lot of 50s sci fi movies.

Roddenberry wasn't there to give them better ideas... Apparently, we now know of all possibilities for space travel and every possible scenario of contact.... Unless of course, religion is true & the universe is empty except for us and heaven.... boring....

Interesting. You can see elements of 30’s Sci-fi like Buck Rogers and few elements of later movies. It looks as if they did reuse the space suits of Destination Moon and that rocket was used in many films.

[@frankfarago2825]

Spaceships to Mars were certiaínly a lot faster in the 1950s -- than what they might be in the 2030s, 2040s, and beyond. Only nine days total to reach Mars back then. I call that fast. These days, even if we should ever get there, one way flight time will be 10 to 12 months. Instead of 7 to 9 days. Like they were in the mid-1950s. Hot dang, sweet tamales.

[@dennisp2180]

Funny that the spaceship uses office chairs not designed for supporting the human body during accelleration or reentry.

They used up the entire movie budget on the awesome special effects. 😂

[@Stryker20008]

As I get older and realize all the good movies have already been made, I find myself more enjoying older films like this, which enjoy some nostalgic humor but really movies are done more or less the same way, just as tech gets better, the dialogue and gadgets. Typewriters become computers. Better tech dialogue.

And the WW2 Bomber Flight Gear for space suites versus what the English speaking martians wear...telly tubby-esk. bwahahahahaha!

[@TheDejael]

FLIGHT TO MARS (Monogram, 1951) in Cinecolor! Now available on DVD and Blu-Ray. Starring Cameron Mitchell and Marguerite Chapman. With John Litel and Morris Ankrum. Good special visual effects for its time. Marguerite looks stunning in her Martian fashions, especially the blue satin minidress and the reverse-angle black high heels. The interior of the rocketship is the recycled set from ROCKETSHIP X-M (1950). The rocketship model was recycled in WORLD WITHOUT END (1956) and ATOMIC SUBMARINE (1959).

[@jamessloan6899]

20:31 No contact for 48 hours and don't forget they've already been up in space two days before this. We haven't seen their sleeping arrangements, eating arrangements, haven't seen them take a sh!t or a shower. Things must be getting pretty "ripe" in there about now.

Yeah, I figured the early 1950's: The WWII headgear, the old USGI mattresses and wool blankets kind of gave it away. Still wondering why anyone would have paid to go see this movie.

What a crazy little film! Seems like a product of the 1910s or 20s rather than 1951.

And elevators confound the space age Earthlings. "Hey! This thing's moving!" 😂
