macanimationpro.com: Complete with Martian women, flying saucers and a typical 1950s doomsday weapon story line, everyone agrees: Destination Mars has the exact look and feel of an actual 1950s movie...more

"The look and feel of 1950s science-fiction is recaptured and parodied in Destination Mars! Parody may seem like an easy form of humor, but there are more bad parodies than good in recent movie history, which says that doing it well is not so simple after all.

That's why I'm impressed with a little low-budget effort called Destination Mars!

Tor and Richard Lowry wrote and directed this affectionate spoof of cheesy 1950s science-fiction films, and they've done their homework well...from the main titles to the costume design to the dialogue, it all reeks of those wonderfully awful movies. Only this time the comedy is intentional.If you grew up on films like Amazon Women on the Moon, you're a prime candidate to enjoy Destination Mars...and even if you didn't, I think you'll enjoy being let in on the joke.

-Leonard Maltin

"Robots, Martian women, and spaceships! This movie has everything that I want out of my sci-fi films! It's beautiful!"more
-Harry Knowles

DESTINATION MARS is a loving tribute to the great films of the 50s. Funny!!"
-Max Allan Collins

Honestly, I thought it was a masterpiece! I have never seen somebody capture the era and the films so perfectly. You managed to make the movie hilarious without the actors resorting to Carol Burnett-style burlesque. You either found the greatest actors on the planet, or had actors with limited abilities playing it like they're not in on the joke. Well done, and congratulations!
