Review of Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964) by Lee M — 28 Jun 2016

Decent mid-60s sci-fi movie about an astronaut that is forced to crash land on Mars, and somehow figure out a way to survive on a harsh planet. The story is told well enough (though it isn't exceptional), but the visuals are pretty damn good for 1964.

The real desert locations mixed with sets, and composites, and other special effects are all pretty top notch (again, for it's time). I think the movie looks great, I think I just struggled to get engaged with the lead actor.

..he isn't awful, but he had to carry the whole movie...could've used a little more charisma.
