Destination Mars! satarizes every 1950s
sci-fi film ever made! From WAR OF THE WORLDS to PLAN
9 this classic movie actually looks and sounds as if
it were made in the50s!
Wobbly spaceships,
clunky robots and martian women,this movie captures the
1950 sci-fi movies perfectly.
Destination
Mars! is a feature length film that tells the story of man's
desire for building larger and larger weapons of destruction,
and the army of martian women who come to earth to stop the
destructive humans.
As
the martians attempt to make peaceful contact with the
people of earth, they are attacked by the U.S. military
and forced to flee. Their next visit isn't so cordial
as they come with laser guns blazing! Soon, it's all
out war!
Leonard
Maltin-- "The look
and feel of 1950s science-fiction is recaptured and parodied
in Destination Mars! Parody may seem like an easy form of
humor, but there are more bad parodies than good in recent
movie history, which says that doing it well is not so simple
after all.
That's
why I'm impressed with a little low-budget effort called Destination
Mars!
Tor and
Richard Lowry wrote and directed this affectionate spoof of
cheesy 1950s science-fiction films, and they've done their
homework well...from the main titles to the costume design
to the dialogue, it all reeks of those wonderfully awful movies.
Only this time the comedy is intentional.If you grew up on
films like Amazon Women on the Moon, you're a prime candidate
to enjoy Destination Mars...and even if you didn't, I think
you'll enjoy being let in on the joke. "
Harry
Knowles (AITNITCOOLNEWS.COM)-- "Robots,
Martian women, and spaceships! This movie has everything that
I want out of my sci-fi films! It's beautiful!"

Allan Collins (author: The Road to Perdition)-- DESTINATION
MARS is a loving tribute to the great films of the 50s. Funny!!"
Mick
Garris (Director: THE STAND)-- Honestly,
I thought it was a masterpiece! I have never seen somebody
capture the era and the films so perfectly. You managed
to make the movie hilarious without the actors resorting
to Carol Burnett-style burlesque. You either found the
greatest actors on the planet, or had actors with limited
abilities playing it like they're not in on the joke.
Well done, and congratulations!
