Red Planet Mars is a fairly slow-moving and talkative movie, but it is one of the more interesting sci-fi movies from the 1950's.
The main star of this is 50's regular Peter Graves (It Conquered the World) and he is the person who keeps receiving radio messages supposedly from Mars. But they turn out to be from God! This movie has a lot of religious overtones.
Graves and his wife are killed in an explosion at the end, leaving their two boys without parents. The supporting cast includes another 50's sci-fi regular, Morris Ankrum (Rocketship X-M, Invaders From Mars). Graves and Ankrum were to be reunited in 1957's Beginning of the End.
Despite this movie being fairly slow, I enjoyed and is worth watching, especially if you are a fan of 1950's science fiction.
Rating: 3 stars out of 5.
