    A number of the comments here are perhaps expressed by those who simply do not "get It". Understandable for a generation fed on CGI, and special effects rather than a good story, which movies generally today so lack. Indeed! This film is a gem, and just to hear the dialogue by John Carradine is a real treat. Our current influx of science fiction is composed of some pretty amazing special effect, but sadly lack real fleshed out characters and gifted actors with real acting abilities, and distinctive voices...something the early films, such as this one's era, had an abundance of. It take more than just the dreariness of constant explosions, action characters battling one another, and predictable story lines to make science fiction an art form worth preserving. These older films, and TV series of that time, need to be preserved, not just for the sake of entertainment, but to bring back the atmosphere, and sense of wonder that science fiction was meant to be, and to simply show what makes the films, and TV programmes of this era rare and unique. Thank you for bringing The Wizard of Mars back to those who can appreciate it!

      I know what you mean and I sympathize, but you have to admit that this movie is a bit more cheesy than others that have been put out at the time or even previous to this one. This movie came out in 1965 and I've seen movies from the 40s and 50s that had better effects and storylines than this one. That's not to say this is a bad movie, just that it could have been made better with the technology in filmmaking they already had when it was made. One example I noticed was their viewscreens look like just any special effect they could find to paste together that didn't really mean anything or look like anything it was meant to depict. It's a patchwork job, but I don't let that stop me from enjoying the movie anyway for the story, which itself was missing some context. It's not a bad movie, but could have been made better, that's all.

    Great fun! The journey to find the other rocket stage takes weird turns, canals/caverns/lava/desert only to find an ancient citadel where a dead/not-dead being that looks like The Man From Planet X leads them to a room where John Carradine does a great Hari Seldon impression via a lecture on Galactic Empires. (Carradine's salary must've taken half of the $35,000 budget). Then a marvelous conceptual breakthrough with setting the castle's time back in motion, fading out like the ruins warped out of time in Barrington J. Bayley's "Collision Course". With the cavern journey reminsicent of Journey to the Center of the Earth all in all this low budget, poorly acted (except for Carradine) touched enough of my sci-fi hot spots to get an 8 out of 10 stars.

      At least they were able to dodge the Spaceballs before landing. BTW, there are outside scenes where the colors are just like those in photos taken by the Perseverance rover. Other films went with only red, but this one adds the grayish blue. I also heard recycled "tonalities" from "Forbidden Planet" when they meet the alien who resembles a "Star Trek" Ferengi.

    Shout out to FILMIX! Thank you for uploading this gem of a classic. I am a great fan of Sci Fi. and never saw this movie in its entirety. I just saw some excerpts from the final scenes in the corridors. For 1965 the Spaceship interior designs, exterior shots of space with the ships engine active with fire, the space suit designs the environments the hero go thorough are really on the very high quality level. Also the sound effects used here are from great Sci-Fi classics like Forbidden Planet with Leslie Nilson, Star Trek with William Shattner. This movie deserves to be restored for posterity of movie history and how uniquely Sci-Fi ideas were perceived at that time. A lot of the comments under neath are funny and I can get why for someone who does not understand and get this movie, especially the younger generations. If they only knew how crappy garbage of majority of the movies are today. Again thank you for this rare and unique movie that transcends viewers like me into an imaginary world away from today's insanity. Much better than drugs that eventually destroy your life. Cheers.

It was used to visualize film elements, titles or subtitles for placement. In the days before computers and the ability to easily overlay images one on top of another, this chart was used to help the director or title designer accurately place the title where they wanted it on the film.
