i grow up watch the original tv series in the sixty and one thing that i can tell you right away and there be no comparison . this film be totally ridiculous with a fly suit that be alive . a martian that take different shape . special effect that look like something that a little child would create . in contrast and in the original and character be develop and the viewer develop a feeling for tim and uncle martin . the only highlight in this film and yes and actually there be one and occur when ray walston finally make an appearance at the end . he wear dark glass and make reference to live on this planet for 30 year a a sort of homage to the tv series . but even the real uncle martin could not save this turkey .
