It is the future. 1987. Great scientific advances have allowed mankind to achieve that which previously only existed in speculative fiction -- space travel. But, on the eve of humanity's first manned mission to the red planet, no amount of speculation could adequately prepare us for the unexpected discovery of... CAVE WOMEN ON MARS!

Absolutely amazing

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

CAVE WOMEN ON MARS is another ultra-cheap and campy indie comedy. The twist is that it's supposedly a 1950s movie set in the future of 1987 with all of the retro stylings you'd expect from a film of that ilk. The film plays out as a tribute of sorts to the 'outer space women' sub-genre of movie-making popular in the 1950s in titles such as CAT WOMEN OF THE MOON, but it's that cheap that it mainly consists of bad actors hanging around in the woods playing dress up. There's too much romantic stuff going on here and very little that's actually humorous.

The year is 1987: mankind has conquered space, launching the first manned mission to Mars. On reaching the red planet, the two man crew-Captain Jackson (Josh Craig) and Lieutenant Elliot (Daniel Sjerven)-encounter two tribes of warrior women, neither of which hold men in very high regard.Writer/director Christopher R. Mihm's Cave Women On Mars is a low-budget homage to z-grade sci-fi trash of the 1950s, and in that it largely succeeds, meaning that it too is hard to sit through in its entirety. Mihm is clearly a man who knows his stuff, effectively replicating the mundanity of many a '50s clunker, but quite why anyone would choose to painstakingly ape some of the worst films that genre and era had to offer doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me: the real McCoy is bad enough, let alone a modern day mimic.4/10-I would have liked to have seen more tongue-in-cheek humour (but a little less of the Shatnerisms).

Mihm's films are of surprisingly high quality and the love and heart put into their crafting are evident. The reviewer who gave it one star missed the point and content of this film by such a vastly wide margin I think he himself has never read the illustrious authors he name-dropped or love sci/fi that much if he can't embrace it's shaky beginnings in cinema.This is not a spoof, a satire, bash or a serious modern science fiction film dealing with complex metaphysical matters. This is a loving homage to classic science fiction from the cheesy golden era (the 50's), rich with subtle references as wide ranging as Star Trek and Lovecraft. Made by a family man, using his family for key roles, this is a great film for your family to enjoy together.

This isn't science fiction, it's camp masquerading as farce. Nothing whatsoever to DO with science fiction: bad fantasy at best. Just made for bashing on Mystery Science Theater 3000. Might even qualify for cheap satire. But sci-fi??? It's annoying enough that some databases and bookstores lump science fiction, fantasy and horror together as if they were similar. They're NOT. Science fiction requires that a real scientific idea, theory, principle or a reasonable extrapolation from same be at the heart of the plot; in short, it can be improbable, fine, but not impossible. This film is so far from meeting that criterion it's absurd. Can anyone who's read the likes of Isaac Asimov, Ben Bova, Ray Bradbury, Arthur C. Clarke, Frank Herbert, Gregory Benford, Robert J. Sawyer, or Joe Haldeman put this garbage in the same category?? Oh, hell no. Skip this film if you're looking for sci-fi -- that's the best advice you can get. But if you want cheesy camp in a ridiculous 1950s-throwback style, maybe this is for you after all ...
