Re: Favorite "Mars" movies

I don't really watch Mars movies because they usually contain "evil green aliens".

But i did see the last 2 episode of Star Trek: Enterprise before the crap finale.

A xenophobic human terrorist organization called Terra Prime who capture an array in Mars and plan to destroy StarFleet command.

Also watch out for Stranded: Náufragos and CapricornOne with Elliott Gould and O.J. Simpson

Capricorn One, now that was a fun movie.

Escape from Mars was disturbing because I watched it right after I encountered the Case for Mars for the first time. It looked like it was going to be horrible sci-fi wise but it turned out to be Mars Direct-ish down to using SRB's on tethers for artifical gravity if I recall.

Re: Favorite "Mars" movies

This entire thread reminds me of a quote from Esquire magazine last spring:

'There ARE no REALLY good films about actually GOING to Mars.'

The only one that wasn't a loser in one way or another was Robinson Crusoe on Mars. And thank God they killed Adam West off in the beginning and made the OTHER guy Robinson Crusoe, or it probably would've been another Mars Movie loser as well.

One good line from the movie is when he is standing on the edge of a cliff and yells out:  'Hey, Mr. Echo!   Go to hell!" 
Bringing in the alien slave guy 'Friday' was a nice touch, and so was having him rescued in the end... 8)

By the way, as long as I have you here I want to announce that my newest sci-fi action/adventure book is now available in paperback!  (free plug)

I tried to avoid the usual cliches in 'Say Goodbye To The Sun.'

Robert M Blevins - I couldn't agree with you more!  Robinson Crusoe on Mars was a great little film.
