Movie Reviews of Marooned

Movie Review: Marooned-in my theater
Summary: 2 Stars

Marooned was a poor movie at best having a minimal story, weak acting and dialogue, poor special effects, and no musical score to speak of. Rocky Jones Space Ranger, the TV space opera of the 50's for kids, had far better special effects. The drawn out ending was actually painful to sit through and watching the three astronauts go bouncing off the walls was not an interesting or credible story.

It is amazing that this film received any awards for special effects as the screen effects in Marooned featured suspended plastic models against simple and often very out of scale backgrounds. The crude models were not even airbrushed and reflected light off their specular points in the unrealistic lighting. How this effort warranted an academy award when compared to 2001 is criminal. In Hollywood anything is possible as great work can be totally ignored and mediocre work praised.

I first saw this film in 1969 with a close friend at the Ziegfeld Theater in New York. I went to see it in high hopes of a good film experience with fresh memories of 2001 and knowledge of what can be done with good sci-fi film. This was not to be. I think we both agreed that this film was pretty bad.
