Blu-ray Review: Flight to Mars (1951)

Physicist Dr. Lane (John Litel) and his crew of intrepid… well, they sure as shit aren’t astronauts… I don’t know… casual acquaintances mostly, board a stereotypical 1950’s sci-fi flick rocket and begin the first expedition to Mars. After a pain in the asteroids… involving meteors, the ship is forced to crash land on the angry red planet… so no return trip ya dig? But all is not lost, as our heroes encounter the entirely human looking inhabitants of Mars (and the award to the most cheap-ass aliens goes to… ) which speak English (also cheap!) thanks to monitoring earth transmissions, and live in a vast, technologically advanced city below the planet’s surface.

Oh yeah; so that vehicle goes of the road and crashes into an abandoned mine shaft…well, not really “abandoned” as it’s home to a cannibalistic mutant, as is the way (and definitely spices up the proceedings). Thankfully for our heroines, the local sheriff (Randy Powell) is on the case…and by
