Robinson Crusoe on Mars has a rather hokey title, but this is no cheap sci fi thriller. It is a well crafted movie that holds the attention of the viewer. The dialogue is very limited, the man is alone for the first half if the movie, but it just shows the acting skills of the star.

His cave home is beautiful, with large crystals running from ceiling to floor. He does all the things that survival schools tell downed pilots to do, then he has to backpedal when he discovered hostile aliens. I like that the American flag has 52 stars, putting the movie in a indeterminate future, without naming a date. I like that when the Commander is found dead, the castaway burys him, marks the grave with a cross and prays over his dead companion, finally saluting his commander before walking away.

The faith and patriotism are wonderful aspects of this movie. You see it again when Draper displays and American flag in front of his cave home, and he has conversations with Friday about God. A great movie.
