Review by handmethatspanner

Did you read Robinson Crusoe? Did you ever see a quaint Sci-fi movie called Robinson Crusoe on Mars.

How many lost at sea movies have you seen?

I like this one best of all. No it is not perfection and the errors shine through if you watch it often.

For my money it could have been longer. I would have savored more development of our two lead characters. As pure science fiction this is not an example of Hard-Sci-Fi. Far more technical details would have bored most viewers to tears.

My thinking is that the two leads are suffering from an abundance of enthusiasm for some of their other efforts that might come off as cartoonish, a bit thin or pale.

This will be one of those that ages well and becomes a fan/cult favorite. { somebody is going to expand this into a short series }

I would dearly love to argue the merits of this film with any critic. I watch this at least once a year. An eclectic fellow I have explored many areas of inquiry. Far and away I have exposed myself to more Science Fiction than anything besides work and sleep.

Cinematically it is a real contender, deserving.

As a foray into Sci-Fi it does really well.

As a romance it might be iffy but every romance has some challenges to overcome before the third act.
