Spun from Daniel DeFoe's tale of the titular character, this sci-fi story involves a spaceship commander, Chris Draper (Paul Mantee) in a similar situation to the original Robinson Crusoe -- but rather than being stranded on an island, our hero is on a hostile planet. Draper, Colonel Dan McReady (Adam West), and a test monkey look as if they are going to collide with a meteor. Draper and the chimp are able to eject themselves from the vessel, but McReady is not so lucky. The two survivors safely

Dated on many levels, but the film represents a fascinating slice of scientific history.
Byron Haskin's cult classic is, like their release of House, a chance for Criterion to pay homage to an ambitious narrative and truly weird visual experience which begat several more celebrated classics and yet remains largely unknown.
The crucial link between The Ten Commandments and 2001: A Space Odyssey
Much beloved - and sadly overrated - by many science fiction fans. . .
Almost distractingly, faithful to the original novel despite its radically different setting, the film is a pleasure mostly because of its vivid Technicolor backdrops.
Robinson Crusoe practically bursts at the seams with its glorious Technicolor, while sound is crisp and booming throughout.
In creating a work of spiritual, rather than physical, focus, Robinson Crusoe on Mars becomes more than just another post-50's sci-fi flick.
one of the more fascinating movies of its era because it dares to take its science seriously
The real Mars may be nothing like it appears in this movie, but it sure does make you want to visit anyway.
Better than expected, and it features brief appearance by the future Batman.
Como em tantas ficções B, a Ciência da história é risível; porém, o longa funciona ao desenvolver bem a relação (com contexto homossexual e tudo mais) entre os personagens.
Wonderful film. It's nice to see science fiction treated seriously for a change in the era that it was made. At the time, B movies were ruling the drive-in screens and something like this was just not commonly done. It makes for an entertaining character film that doesn't require a lot of exposition - mostly just

The beginning and ending of this movie are horrible, for one thing, West's character dies in the first scene! Putting the story of Crusoe in space was probably their first mistake.
