Robinson Crusoe on mars DVD ... This 1964 space epic is in fact an adaptation of the classic Daniel Defoe Novel, and it adheres to logic and science. After his spaceship crash-lands on Mars, astronaut Paul Mantee must figure out how to survive on the hostile planet aided only by a monkey from his ship. Director Byron (The War of the Worlds) Haskin's sober approach brings a refreshing emphasis to issues of survival--how many space travel movies have you seen where the traveler tests the air of a distant planet and discovers that, by George, he can breathe just fine? Not this one. Mantee's desperate methods of tracking his air flow and experimenting with methods of breathing are painstakingly explored, and seem like exactly the kind of problems a real planetary voyager would encounter. The second half of Robinson Crusoe on Mars DVD cleverly blends Defoe's plot with sci-fi conventions, and the movie never does "dumb down." It's about time that this Classic Thinkers Sci Fi was put to DVD, its one thats more than welcome in my collection, Robinson Crusoe on Mars has always been a particularly Special movie and Now thanks to High definition technologies, we can keep it safe and sound on DVD for future reference. >>Order the Robinson Crusoe On Mars DVD<< Robinson Crusoe on Mars DVD is a treasure to keep, its one of those truly classic productions...
