English Visually absolutely beautiful environment of Mars, in which the story of Robinson Crusoe unfolds, shifted into the science-fiction age. Surprisingly, it works very well, simply because the setting is very intimate and it's easy to empathize with the characters, including the little monkey, which is a beautiful example that one doesn't have to be genius to survive. An excellent movie that is, unfortunately, underrated. ()
