Movie Reviews of Santa Claus Conquers The Martians
Movie Review: A Jolly Yuletide Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Yeah, "It's a Wonderful Life" is a pretty good movie. However, the movie I joyfully watch every Christmas is about martians who, lacking a Santa Claus to bring joy to martian kids, kidnap Santa from Earth, along with two children. "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians" is almost sublime in its badness, and with painted-green martials in skintight suits, a Santa with a lewd chuckle instead of a "Ho Ho Ho," incredible wooden acting by the cast (one of whom is Pia Zadora), unspeakable special effects, and a horrible theme song, it is a masterpiece of the so-bad-it's-good school of film. Just TRY getting the theme song out of your head.The DVD from Laserlight looks exactly as one would expect it - awful. The supersaturated colour scheme has not aged well, and looks very grainy. There are many scratches, but that only adds to the film's strange charm. Unfortunately, the first fifteen seconds or so of the film's opening credits are not on this DVD, depriving loyal fans of seeing EVERY BIT of "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians." Unsurprisingly, there are no extras, although the menus are pretty good.
Summary of Santa Claus Conquers The Martians
The children of Mars are depressed and no one seems to know why. When Martian leaders go to see their most ancient wise man, he tells them that the children of Mars need the joy of Christmas... and Santa Claus! When Martians invade Earth to find this mysterious Kris Kringle, they are confused when they discover a Santa on every street orner. So the Martians kidnap two earth kids to help them find the real Santa. The kids take them to the North Pole. There they find Santa's workshop with his elves hard at work making toys. The Martians then invite Santa and the two Earth kids back to Mars with them. Santa then sets up a robot mechanized workshop to make toys for all the Martians. They all grow to love Santa, but somehow Santa and the children have to get back home. Christmas Day on Earth is coming just around the corner!This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply.
