Subject: Good kitschy fun Definitely qualifies for the 'So Bad It's Good' sweepstakes. Harmless fun. Martians worried their kids aren't happy try to bring Santa to Mars. One of their number doesn't believe their kids need Santa and undermines them at every turn. Science fair quality sets, D-grade community theater costumes, dialogue so wooden you could carve a cup out of it. If you like bad movies, you'll LOVE this one. I certainly enjoy them. - January 3, 2012Good kitschy fun

Subject: Interplanetary Hardware Definitely a candidate for a "So Bad It's Good!" award. I have to believe the picture incorporates some deliberate tongue-in-cheek. I especially like the hardware-store attachments on the martians' surplus football helmets - flexible conduit such as you'd see atop your water heater, and bent coat hangers.



How could anyone take this flick too seriously? Especially after seeing the leader of the expedition to Earth stick the muzzle of some sort of weapon right in the kids' faces while simultaneously telling them not to be afraid! The cardboard-box robot was a nice touch, too.



There is a message in the story, too: Parents need to let their kids just be kids while they have the chance, rather than expecting them to be "little adults."



All in all, a worthwhile romp. - December 15, 2010Interplanetary Hardware

Subject: Worth watching! Now I don't know what the other guy was on when he wrote the review, because this is a fun, innocent movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. Part 60s time capsule (Santa smoking a pipe!), part legit children's movie, this is one of those movies that everybody needs to see at least once. In fact, I make a point to watch this every holiday season. And why not? There's cheesy acting and lines and ridiculous special effects for adults to laugh at, and a fun story for the kids to enjoy.



One last thing. I noticed the martians look a lot like The Great Gazoo, the alien that hung out with Fred and Barney. - November 12, 2010Worth watching!
