Thursday 11th April at 7.45pm Another literary screen adaptation. A surprising number of SF films back in the day were an adaptation of a book or short story. WARNING: I don't think there are any women in this film. Certainly none in a major role. So that is true to the source material then. But there is a monkey, so that's ok then... https://dai.ly/x8j0q87 No major stars appear in this film although there is a familiar face at the start of the film. No it's not Gareth Thomas. P. S. There is an advert at the start of this film so cue it up viewers! Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

WARNING: I don't think there are any women in this film. I bet Soolin will nonetheless be looking lovely...  |

Well, hopefully I can stay awake as I have been falling asleep over my desk all day...still, this film should waken my ideas up. I hope it's as good as I remember. If not...too bad!  There's always the fast forward button. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

If this film turns out to be good, I am getting a better version of it on disc. Got an old copy from Germany....took me 5 minutes to work out the meaning of the menu. Or I would have been watching it in German with or without subtitles...

Didn't find an advert but stopped when I hit the title. That ship whizzing past looks a lot like the mini-system ships from Redemption. Look at the back end - that's a very Libby-like blob.

The rocket effects remind me of Forbidden Planet whose effects were done by Disney.

The ship is like a mini-Liberator, MS Virn. The thing they just missed appears to be one of the globes from the title sequence of Sapphire and Steel (Copper, perhaps?) |

Loving the 'ray-gun'! Hope the firing mechanism of his flintlock works in that atmosphere!

The fireball has been used before but I can't think where.

Are these random fires just something that is indigenous to Mars? |

Presumably he's going to find somewhere underground where he's safer and has more oxygen - his own supply is bound to give out fairly soon. They always do. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

No one can carry that much oxygen...

Well, somehow he has a fire going. Despite the atmosphere being mostly carbon dioxide.

What a very level-headed chap, with his talk of challenges. I would be lying on the ground sobbing at this point. Probably explains why I am not an astronaut. |
