Luke P Apr 28, 2019 A serious exploration of a manned mission to Mars; it rises above the genre conventions of its time and delivers a compelling (if contracted) character study. See more
Anakin R Apr 5, 2017 One of the first sic-fi movies I ever watched growing up. Based on artist Chesley Bonestell's work who I greatly admired. What a great movie for a kid growing up during the space race! See more
