Old school Sci Fi at its best.

Recently I wrote a quick review about the 1979 television film adaptation of Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles. 

You can find it over on my eBay site.

Here's the review with a few bits added and a few taken away.

Old school Sci Fi at its best.

Absolutely love the "Martian Chronicles",have done since I first saw it as a kid back in the early 1980's. The special effects are not brilliant, infact some of them are terrible, but that's not important.

It's the story (Thank you Ray Bradbury)and the pace of filming combined that make for an unforgettable film experience.

Also the film score is amazing.

For science fiction without the special effects of present day, and to be transported back to being a kid again, and a slower pace of life, you can't go wrong with the Martian Chronicles.

The above television adaptation is excellent, but also I have to mention - if you ever see the Martian Chronicles book, or The Silver Locusts as it is also called, grab it, read it, it's definitely a classic.

Like most of Ray Bradbury's works.
