The idea is not bad: a man crash-lands on Mars and has to fend for himself, his only companion a monkey. Unfortunately, the people who made Robinson Crusoe on Mars didn't know jack about science. Not that they had to. It's a B-movie. I like B-sci-fi films, but there's a point where the degree of silliness becomes too much to take. This film actually wants to be taken seriously, I think, but that's not possible. It picks up a bit after Friday shows up. In this film, he is an alien slave. Still, it's a weak excuse for a sci-fi flick. Almost any sci-fi from the previous decade is better. Watch Forbidden Planet again instead. 5/10.
