I saw an interview with Ray Bradbury years ago where he expressed his complete disdain for this adaption. He said if you wanted to conquer America you'd show THE MARTIAN CHRONICLES and THE WINDS OF WAR back to back and put the entire nation to sleep. Frankly, I think old Ray was alittle harsh. While this adaption does leave something to be desired, it is an entertaining five hours. Rock Hudson's character was made up for the tv production and not in the book. He exists to act as a bridge to all the different segments of the story.
July 15, 2008I enjoyed the miniseries when it was first released and enjoyed just as much watching the DVD, I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone who likes the older style sci/fi.

Ray Bradbury was truly before his time. The Martian Chronicles keeps the viewers interest and probes the imagination..
May 11, 2008if any movie should be remade it,s this one with today,s CG it would be out standing. this movie was made for tv years ago and for it,s time and format, is still a good watch. Rock Hudson was vary conviceing in his portral of a space pionear.Its a vary long but well made movie even for today.I have it in my collection and watch it at least 2 time,s a yeay.
