Alast things havechanged since the 1970`s when I saw it. for kids it is fantastic, o.k. alittle dated but good fun. For Adults what can one say< ow for the good old days. The GREATEST KIDS MOVIE mitch36 2005-01-03 00:51:22 2005-01-03 00:51:22 5 28729 The fellow's mustache is falling off, it is terrible! Yet I have the feeling that Pia Zadora is watching it somewhere. The worst movie ever slick1nj 2005-01-10 20:54:58 2005-01-10 20:54:58 1 29628 The best version of this movie is when it is "mistied". There may be a DVD available that has the cast of Mystery Science Theater 3000 making fun of it. I did always look forward to watching this on the smaller local tv stations when I was a kid. I would always seem to be on around 11 PM on, say a thursday, in June or September?? MST3K slorge 2005-01-20 19:27:45 2005-01-20 19:27:45 5 30186 I just bought this movie on dvd for $1. I work at WalMart and we got these movies for a buck. I was looking through them today when I came across the childhood favorite. I always looked forward to xmas and watch Tom "Popeye" Patton and his saturday movies in California. I still wasn't sure until I popped it in. And heard the theme song and saw the martians eat pills that tasted like food. It has brought some fond memories. Stop by walmart and pick it up..... Great News splotch 2005-01-27 19:44:55 2005-01-27 19:44:55 4 32714 This is still surprisingly entertaining and sweet, and my little niece loved it. It seems kind of touching to see grown-ups dressed up so ridiculously to entertain children. Lovely, Silly Kid's Movie sonnet29 2005-02-21 20:35:51 2005-02-21 20:35:51 4 An amusing little film that will chase the blues away on a dreary gray day. Recomended. A silly bit of fun. 5 dog from Nightwatch 2005-08-16 06:49:30 2005-08-16 06:49:30 This is one of the goofiest movies I've ever seen. Strangely appealing though. Click and watch, you can always page back if you get discouraged. Goofy, really goofy. Goofy 4 jimelena 2005-12-19 06:28:53 2005-12-19 06:28:53 I remember going to the movies with my family to see this picture. 3 kids, 2 adult tickets - $3 Popcorn and Soda - $2 Grown-up Kid's family memories - Priceless. Recomendation: Gather the Kids around next Christmas Eve, break out the Popcorn and create some memories for the next generation. Dazavu all over again! 5 esalkin 2006-01-05 12:12:59 2006-01-05 12:12:59 A pretty good really bad movie. Remember - It's only entertainment. 4 OleMovieWatcher 2006-03-31 01:36:44 2006-03-31 01:36:44 My favorite childhood Christmas video. Back before sci fi was acceptible came SC Conquers the Martians. Diffinate '60s flair but still korny enough to be entertaining. Spend some time looking back to simpler times Martians?! 4 JMaurer1 2006-04-07 08:38:43 2006-04-07 08:38:43 This movie is so bad it's good. Actually that's probably not completely fair since I think younger children would enjoy this movie for the story. Adults, well if you're into movies that are fun to laugh at because they're considered "bad" then you'd enjoy it as well. It's a good clean family movie - no nudity, violence or strong language. I had planned to burn this download to DVD so I could watch it without needing the computer on. But problems converting the format led me to buy the DVD at amazon.com for less than $2 (USD) new. It was well worth it. It'll become a Christmas time staple at my house! So Bad, It's Good 5 Ankou 2006-04-25 01:11:24 2006-04-25 01:11:24 And see how a good movie inspires creativity: http://www.archive.org/details/SantaonMars Inspiration 4 PlanetMonk 2006-05-11 01:07:06 2006-05-11 19:04:44 For any one interested in seeing this terrible b movie on stage... in orange county, CA we are putting on a production of Santa Conquers the Martians.

Santa Conquers the Martians on STAGE 5 Kimarbetty 2006-11-13 21:02:15 2006-11-13 21:02:15 the kitschy costumes, the bad dialogue, stunning special effects, realistic polar bears... truly enjoyable. love it! 4 ARossi 2006-11-20 22:06:13 2006-11-20 22:06:13 If you like the classic 1950's science fiction movies, you'll enjoy this one! Complete with funky costumes, 50's type dialog, and Santa Claus as a fun twist! Fun stuff 5 claylady 2006-12-15 14:07:21 2006-12-15 14:07:21 The sets are bad, the effects and costumes match. But, this movie is as wholesome as they come, and is a really swell picture, and great for the whole family during Christmas. B-Movie Classic DaybyDay 2007-03-23 21:45:21 2007-03-23 21:45:21 5 The best of the cheesy Christmas themed movies of all time will get a slap in the face once the remake comes out...and with my luck...it will be Tim Allen as Santa...and a RAZZIE win for worst remake or sequel as well as for worst actor... The original brought back a lot of good memories...enough of them that I don't want them to screw things up any further with another load of actors who couldn't act their way out of a paper bag... So bad it's good Razzilla 2007-08-06 02:38:14 2007-08-06 02:38:14 5 The film speaks for itself. I burn a DVD of this for friends who haven't seen it each year ... and yes, they're still my friends (grin). My personal opinion is that this film is targeted toward children and DOES in fact entertain them. And when you compare this film to the children's programming of today, I'd actually rate it higher than the crap networks pass off as entertainment. Before going, however, I just wanted to mention two Star Trek connections to this film. After this film was in the can, director Nicholas Webster went on to other things ... among them was being the director for the popular television series, "In Search Of" ... which, as everyone knows, was hosted by Leonard Nimoy (Spock). In addition, a man named Brett Webster (unsure if he was "related" to Nicholas Webster), an uncredited technical advisor in the film, followed Nicholas to "In Search Of" where he did cinemetography work. But Brett has a more direct connection to Star Trek. Three years after his work on "In Search Of," he was the assistant visual effects director for "Star Trek - The Motion Picture" (aka "Star Trek I"). Two "Star Trek" Connections. AlecWest 2007-11-17 21:59:07 2007-11-17 21:59:07 5 Despite cheesy sets, cheesy costumes and cheesy dialog, the film actually works. It should be considered a classic, right up there with Plan 9 From Outer Space. Cheesy, but palatable Seamus Seanachaoi 2008-02-12 04:27:06 2008-02-12 04:27:06 5 Moi j'ai adoré. Un vrai conte de Noël. Et au vu des votes, il semble que nous y sommes tous sensible. Génial ! Erwelyn 2008-02-25 11:46:20 2008-02-25 11:46:20 5 This is the worst film I have ever seen. I know some of the other reviews say that it is so bad that it is funny, but I cannot even say that much for it. I have only seen one other film as bad as this one. It was named Mule Feathers and starred a talking mule with the voice of Don Knotts. Can't Believe I Sat Through This One W. Lougee 2008-05-10 23:23:54 2008-05-10 23:23:54 0 This is the type of period Christmas special that really helps show the culture of the time it was made. Young children will probably enjoy it. I was just barely able to fit this on a VideoCD with just a little editing of the opening and closing credits. Hooray for Santy Claus! LeGrande 2008-12-05 03:23:14 2008-12-05 03:23:14 4 Dumbest plot and worst acting ever caught on film. cheesy 7of9 2008-12-05 19:36:33 2008-12-05 19:36:33 1 This gem is Pia Zadora's first film role! A Good'n tacky Christmas Movie! Kids love it, Adults groan, but secretly like it! Everyone should see it once! Hooray For Santa and Pia! ChoeyBowie 2008-12-08 00:59:30 2008-12-08 00:59:30 4 CreslE. WTF! OMG! 97Hertz 2009-09-08 03:27:58 2009-09-08 03:27:58 1 This cheap and cheesy sci-fi Xmas film is great silly fun, pretty decent for the budget and the time when it was made, and to all of those people trashing it: let's see YOU do better! Great Fun cosmicolada 2009-09-08 06:49:18 2009-09-08 05:06:50 5 26 4.16
