I liked it.Born 45, this movie was pretty good.We didn't know at the time what we would learn later own.But still the human concerns have not changed,even to this day.

Before we get too snarky, this movie is effectively a remake of “Aelita”, one of the first full length sci-fi films made, in this case, in the Soviet Union in 1924. Aleksei Tolstoy, the original author of Aelita, gets a screenwriter credit although he died in 1945. The original Aelita revolved around class conflict and other Marxist themes, which, not surprisingly, did not figure into this Cold War era Hollywood production.

Do you have a playlist of iron curtain sci fi, just watched “First spaceship on Venus” and liked it.

A gem of a movie, things were funnier back then...

I’m just going to fly head first, engines at maximum, straight into this mountain and call it a landing!

Those chairs were top of the line. You find them in flea markets, buy them.

Mission to Mars What a hoot this movie is! I really like how they crashed on Mars at almost ballistic speed, and they all walked away like they just had a fender bender in traffic.

Smoking a pipe on the way to Mars, using mattresses as shock-absorbers ... Betcha NASA & SpaceX never thought of that! .. Huh? Huh?

No, nobody laughed. This was as serious and scientific sci-fi as it gets back then. Yes, I am that old. High heels don't work on the moon but are essential for Mars.

Space Dart redefines the term “stick the landing.” Also, Martian mini-skirts redefine the term “stick the landing.” It’s vague with variable meaning.. Spock out.

Highly advanced Martian civilization, but somehow the workers wear gladiator outfits.

I love the subtle style of using canteen stools as seats in the very first flight in space. Those seats would snap your neck under acceleration. No belts, just reach out and grab the structures, and hope it isn't electrical.

The producers of this film got a great deal on props for their film at George Pal's big Yard Sale.

Mars: home to the most advanced civilization in the galaxy, with access to technologies humans can only dream of...well...except for radio.

Guess they have magnetic shirts, shoes and tobacco pipes too . . so smart and sciency!

Those leather hats made the landing possible! Peta be damned!

I was overwhelmed by the technical jargon. Oxygen is “ok.” Pressure is “ok.”

Nothing like low back chairs to counter act the effects of high G maneuvers.

FLIGHT TO MARS (Monogram, 1951) In Cinecolor. Starring Cameron Mitchell, Arthur Franz, Marguerite Chapman, John Litel, Morris Ankrum. Produced by Walter Mirisch. Directed by Leslie Selander. Music by Marlin Skiles. A fun colorful popcorn movie. Now available on DVD and Blu-Ray in restored Cinecolor! A real classic, even though it's a B-movie, it's a good one! Welcome to the world of 1951. Similar to George Pal's classic Technicolor space adventure DESTINATION MOON (1950) but Pal's film is an A picture which is scientifically accurate and inspired the American Space Program in the 1950s leading to the creation of NASA in 1958.

Thanks for sharing this wonderful film!

A team of astronauts led by Jim Henson discovers a civilization on Mars facing extinction. The Martians speak perfect english with american accent ;-) That makes conversation with the martians easy and the storyline straight forward ,-) This film is definitly lacking in science and probability, but a whole lot of whimsy to make it amusing. I like the 1950thies futuristic design. Back then the rockets looked sleek an sexy, not so technical as the Saturn V, and not so boring big f'cking dildo-like as the SpaceX BFR (a. k. a. Starship) ;-) A very simple storyline, no big surprises, little suspense. Take a beer or two (or better more) to enjoy this marvel of simplicity.

The actual title is "Flight To Mars". And it was originally released in color (Cinecolor) in 1951 by Monogram Pictures. Being a "poverty row studio", it is surprising that Monogram spent the extra money for color film. Fun movie, but lets face it...a trip to Mars and our intrepid group are wearing street clothes...even Buck Rogers and Flash Gordon wore uniforms in those early serials. Speaking of uniforms, I loved the sexy outfits (mini-skirts) that the Martian women wore.
