The Wizard of Mars

(1965)

Some astronauts crash on Mars and have to go looking for part of their ship that landed somewhere else because it has all the important stuff in it: air and food or beer or something. They take a raft down this river for a while, get lost in some caves filled with lava ("That stuff's hot!" says one dude. He must be the team scientist.), find their way out of the caves, walk around some more... Finally they find this yellow brick road that leads to a huge city and it looks like something is actually gonna happen besides people walking around outside, but then they just walk around inside. When they get to the middle of the city this floating head (played by that one guy who always used to be in movies) appears and rambles on and on and on about nothing, then asks the astronauts to fix this huge clock. When they fix it the whole city disappears and the astronauts go back in time to before their ship crashed. A lot of times in movies when people go back in time at the end there's like a big twist and everything starts to happen over again, but that doesn't happen here which is a good thing because I think these astronauts would have killed themselves if they had to go through all that boring shit again- I know I considered it, and I only suffered through it once.
