The Martian Chronicles is a television miniseries based on Ray Bradbury's The Martian Chronicles and dealing with the exploration of Mars and the inhabitants there. Wilder’s insertion into some of the stories feel a bit more forced, as he just happens to be (literally) driving through the unrelated narratives at just the right moments. My initial impression at the time was that it left me vaguely underwhelmed. "What do you know of the blood, sweat and toil of a theatrical production? At age 12 or so, I got my hands on a paperback edition of Ray Bradbury’s collection of Mars-related short stories “The Martian Chronicles” (1950), and I just ate it up.

It is unclear how closely the series will adapt the plot of Bradbury's short stories, which originally released on May 4, 1950. Sorry, your blog cannot share posts by email. He smiled and thanked me for the compliment, and I just about fainted dead away. The Martian-Christ’s hands are, of course, bleeding, and the desperately scared Martian is terrified of being locked into this mortally wounded form. Wilder, once again, is conveniently on the scene, just in time to see the fleeing Martian trapped in the town’s square, where the flood of memories and involuntary shape-shifting cause him to die. Whatever Bradbury’s short stories required, his Martians would fill that niche. I remember this fondly from it’s first showing on TV. I think making her annoying was probably a wiser choice.

I don’t think another version of Bradbury’s classic needs to be remade. All and all- still good miniseries. I’m guessing different times ; but relevant even in today’s society.
