Featured reviews
For those expecting an homage to 1950s sci-fi outer space movies, you'll be sadly disappointed. There's very little action in this clunker that revolves around five astronauts returning from Mars who crash land on earth. If you like close-ups of the five actors, then you will enjoy this film. The first 2/3 of the film is nothing but close-ups and dialogue as the astronauts try to find a way to survive in the desert. It's only in the last third of the film that some action begins to take place. Very little action, however. The acting is stiff and there are no scene changes to speak of. Maybe the best thing about the entire film is the production value from the opening credits.

One of those great little independent sci-fi film gems with a 50's retro feel that come out of nowhere. Shot in black and white, enjoyable to watch with a mix of mystery and humor. It is about 5 returning astronauts stranded when they crashland in a desert. I am a big sci-fi film buff and it lived up to my expectations. I highly recommend this film. So treat yourself, like they say get some popcorn, sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
Wasn't that keen on it to be honest. I certainly wouldnt recommend this to my pals or host a bad movie night with this as the feature presentation.
Or rather, the dawn of grindhouse; including the "film" "burning"; and jumping ahead to another scene. Tongue in cheek; with some jokes actually working. Another movie from among the many odds and ends streaming for free on Tubi. It will finally get seen there, I guess.
Another one that looks like it was done as a high school project. Too many closeups, poor to no props and use of the background. Poor acting by all.
