5/10
Dated but Cult
9 February 2016
Based on Ray Bradbury's short story collection "The Martian Chronicles", this British Mini-Series tells the story of the colonization on Mars by earthlings through three episodes ("The Expeditions", "The Settlers" and "The Martians"). The production is cheese; the travel from Earth to Mars is short and a simple settler is capable to see what is happening on Earth using a telescope; the earthlings are capable to breathe the air in Mars and are not affected by gravity; and there is no explanation of how the settlers have power, fuel and supplies. The best segment is the one relative to the second expedition that seems to be an episode of Rod Serling's "The Twilight Zone". However, the plot of "The Martian Chronicles" along six hours and three DVDs is confused and is not clear the motivations of the Martians and their powers. But this dated Mini- Series is cult for many viewers that worship it. My vote is five.

Title (Brazil):"Planeta Vermelho" ("Red Planet")
