Movie Reviews of The Martian Chronicles
Movie Review: Classic Sci Fi
Summary: 5 Stars
This TV movie is firmly tongue in cheek whilst managing to capture the full scope of Ray Bradbury's tale. The main parts - and a number of well known faces obviously enjoyed getting into their roles in this production - are delightfully played and Rock Hudson's performance is impeccable.
The DVD version is full length and not the abridged version sometimes shown which is totally unsatisfactory.
This is a movie that most (if not all) Sci Fi fans with a nostalgic
point of view will cherish.
Movie Review: Cerebral, thoughtful fantasy/sci-fi
Summary: 5 Stars
Not all of it was good but there was some really good stuff in this TV movie. I appreciated that the characters were thoughtful, sensitive people rather than Hans Solo type buckaroos. I wish there was more fantasy/sci-fi like this.
"Watch life. Observer nature and cooperate with it. Life is it's own answer. Live well. Enjoy the gift of pure being."
Be forgiving about the primitive special effects. It was a TV movie. They were working on a shoe string budget.
Movie Review: Rock the "Rock"
Summary: 5 Stars
Have admired Rock Hudson's great acting all the way back to Doris Day movies! A very interesting movie loaded with suspense and storyline that who knows could come true in our future. The show is worth the time to sit and watch but too long if done from start to finish. Need to break from it for a little while but I was anxious to get right back to it again! I liked the ending very much! Glad I added this one to my film library!Movie Review: Martian Chronicles
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie (s...there are 3 disks). I watch it every time I feel down in the dumps and it always makes me feel better, especially if one is having difficulty with the world as it is now and some of its bad points.
It may have lots of discrepancies with real space travel, but consider when this movie was made and it then becomes unimportant that people travel in regular clothes.
Movie Review: If Only!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Produced in 1979 as a miniseries, this is a fantasy that one could dream to hope would only be partially true. The colonization of another world, but without the destruction of mankinds home world. A fine cast, done well for the time period. Special effects are quite primitive by todays standard, (okay for tv in 1979). Enjoyable, family entertainment.
