(1913) Crissie Bell, E. Holman Clark, Hubert Willis. Britain's first full-length sci-fi film. A Martian having offended his ruler is exiled to Earth with the mission to change the heart of a selfish man. Based on a highly popular stage play, Message to Mars features futuristically clad Martians, thought transference, instant space travel, mind control, and a fantastic crystal ball used to spy on Earth. Interesting to look at 1913 special effects. A trail-blazing film. Cool! Silent with music score. From 35mm.
