Review of Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964) by Todd S — 26 Oct 2005

[font=Times][color=#000000]Not a bad film that does a good job at first showing the emotional roller coaster that comes with being isolated and alone. The story does a good job dealing with these emotions as well as with what happens when companionship is found. It?s interesting that despite his loneliness, Draper at first keeps an emotional distance from his new companion Friday. He goes as far as threatening his life to keep him ?in-line.? The acting is pretty good as well.[/color][/font].

[font=Times][color=#000000] The music isn?t bad, but isn?t amazing either. The effects are okay, even with the alien over-seer ships being models obviously borrowed from Haskin?s other film [i]War of the Worlds[/i].[/color][/font].
