  Robinson Crusoe on Mars 1964

  ★★½ Rewatched 12 Mar 2025

  I wanted the movie promised by the movie poster. I mean, it's there, sorta, but damn it's slow with very little action or suspense.

  I haven't seen this in 20+ years, and unfortunately, I watched the director's cut, which adds elements that are (mostly) unnecessary. So I can't quite give it five stars. This one is a slow burn, and yes, the storyline feels "been there, done that" at this point, but damn, it's still a strong movie after all these years.
