    A number of the comments here are perhaps expressed by those who simply do not "get It". Understandable for a generation fed on CGI, and special effects rather than a good story, which movies generally today so lack. Indeed! This film is a gem, and just to hear the dialogue by John Carradine is a real treat. Our current influx of science fiction is composed of some pretty amazing special effect, but sadly lack real fleshed out characters and gifted actors with real acting abilities, and distinctive voices...something the early films, such as this one's era, had an abundance of. It take more than just the dreariness of constant explosions, action characters battling one another, and predictable story lines to make science fiction an art form worth preserving. These older films, and TV series of that time, need to be preserved, not just for the sake of entertainment, but to bring back the atmosphere, and sense of wonder that science fiction was meant to be, and to simply show what makes the films, and TV programmes of this era rare and unique. Thank you for bringing The Wizard of Mars back to those who can appreciate it!

      I know what you mean and I sympathize, but you have to admit that this movie is a bit more cheesy than others that have been put out at the time or even previous to this one. This movie came out in 1965 and I've seen movies from the 40s and 50s that had better effects and storylines than this one. That's not to say this is a bad movie, just that it could have been made better with the technology in filmmaking they already had when it was made. One example I noticed was their viewscreens look like just any special effect they could find to paste together that didn't really mean anything or look like anything it was meant to depict. It's a patchwork job, but I don't let that stop me from enjoying the movie anyway for the story, which itself was missing some context. It's not a bad movie, but could have been made better, that's all.

    Shout out to FILMIX! Thank you for uploading this gem of a classic. I am a great fan of Sci Fi. and never saw this movie in its entirety. I just saw some excerpts from the final scenes in the corridors. For 1965 the Spaceship interior designs, exterior shots of space with the ships engine active with fire, the space suit designs the environments the hero go thorough are really on the very high quality level. Also the sound effects used here are from great Sci-Fi classics like Forbidden Planet with Leslie Nilson, Star Trek with William Shattner. This movie deserves to be restored for posterity of movie history and how uniquely Sci-Fi ideas were perceived at that time. A lot of the comments under neath are funny and I can get why for someone who does not understand and get this movie, especially the younger generations. If they only knew how crappy garbage of majority of the movies are today. Again thank you for this rare and unique movie that transcends viewers like me into an imaginary world away from today's insanity. Much better than drugs that eventually destroy your life. Cheers.

      I worked in Hollywood as a title designer, and that image is know as a field chart and it was never intended to be seen on screen. It was used to visualize film elements, titles or subtitles for placement. In the days before computers and the ability to easily overlay images one on top of another, this chart was used to help the director or title designer accurately place the title where they wanted it on the film. They still use them, but now it is all done on computer instead of transparencies.

I wonder if the films were made available for airing by the station at a cheaper deal than the more well known and popular films made by the major studios. The station's budget might have made it necessary. This flick is lousy as hell yet enjoyable for some odd reason I can't put my finger on! Just goes to show ya never know, in show biz.

    Mayday, mayday, can you build another ship, train a crew and come help us out maybe in the next couple of years or so? At least it's mildly amusing so far.

      Why not? In one episode of Irwin Allen's "Time tunnel" I saw the two main characters of the series landing on the surface of the moon both dressed in zip fastened space suits and witnessing the flaming ruins of a lunar space station that just got blown up by an explosive device 😆😆😅

    My main problem with this film is, No Water! If they could have tested the Martian water and had canteens to survive the desert, I can go along with everything else.

    It is utterly horrible, but I am tied in chair being forced to watch it for not picking a better one.
