Wow seeing this movie was like going back in time .... way back when I saw the movie for the very first time at the "Drive-In" sitting in the front seat with my parents to get the best view. This time with high quality DVD the picture was so very much better not to mention the sound. I love this movie and could see it over and over. They don't make films like that anymore ... I love the new flicks but some of the older ones are just impossible to redo even with high tech. I have the VHS and purchased it from an Ebay Seller from the UK it was and still is a hard to find movie and now to have the DVD I am just thrilled. The SciFi lover will appreciate this movie as its the kind of story that gets the imagination going. Its a great family movie and needless to say if my DVD wears out I will search for another to buy. If you love the original War Of The Worlds, The Day The Earth Stood Still, Journey To The Center Of The Earth just to mention a few you will love this one too.Read full review
This Sci-Fi classic really spooked me out when I was a 6 year old back in 1964 watching it for the first time. Stranded on Mars with only a monkey as a companion, a U.S. astronaut must figure out how to survive on the lifeless planet. Featuring impressive special effects for its time, as well as strong production values and lots of atmosphere, this one is great fun for fans of classic movie Sci-Fi. Filmed in Death Valley by famed cinematographer Winton C. Hoch and special effects master Lawrence W. Butler. Get ready for meteor showers, alien attacks and the ultimate fight for survival! This movie is released as part of the Criterion Collection, known for high quality DVD releases. Original Theatrical Release 1964. Get out the popcorn and have a great night of classic Sci-Fi fun!

I bought this movie, because i had not seen it in over 30 years. It was put out in 1964 and i remember seeing it as a young kid. But, i do remember it was great at the time. So i ordered and watched it again. It was great. Still!!! 44 years since it's make. There are similar movies made 20, even 10 years ago that dont even compare. This is a story of an astronaut forced to crash land on mars and the way he learns to survive. On mars? You ask. Yes. And all the questions of survival were answered very intelligently for 1964. It is one of those movies that will keep your attention throughout. So raid the fridge, before sitting down. I am proud to have it in my collection as i think a vast majority would be. Absolutely excellent fare for the 60's and beyond.
Criterion did a great job on restoring this Classic movie to high-definition. I enjoyed watching this movie and thought that even today its well done. You can see that the ship looked like an Apollo Spacecraft and though there are some unbelievably things in the movie, it's still great. An info booklet was included. DVD contained extras. Robinson Crusoe on Mars - 1964, 110 minutes, Color, Monaural, 2.35:1 Aspect Ratio
