I usually don't care for miniseries, but this one was different than most. I believed it aired on the NBC network for three nights in 1980.
When I was in high school, I was asked to write a book report on The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury. It took me a whole weekend to read. I couldn't put it down!
This DVD is that miniseries. NBC did an excellent job in reproducing the book to film. They really followed the book to a "T" when it came to telling Bradbury's mesmerizing story. Good production values and a good story too, which told of a colonizing mission to Mars. We thought it was a dead planet, but there was still life underground.
Rock Hudson gave the performance of a lifetime playing Colonel John Wilder, who becomes the leader of the expedition. You also have Darren McGavin, Roddy McDowell and Bernadette Peters performing credibly in their roles.
Highly recommended for all Bradbury fans!
