Movie Reviews of Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (Widescreen)
Movie Review: At long last, the wait for satisfaction is over. Mostly.
Summary: 5 Stars
So, okay, the short and sweet of it is this:
Pros: They finally re-released this on DVD, eBay prices instantly dropped from $150/ea back to about a more reasonable $15-$20 or less for he old and new release.
Cons: Thsi is still basically only a barebones release. Ya' get the movie. That about sums it up.
Personally I'd still like to see a "special edition" or "collector's edition" with actual special features on it, such as a commentary track from the creators.
Personally, my suggestion (which might just rock everyone's socks off) would be to do an MST3K of MST3K: The Movie. Bring back Joel, and have him, Gypsy and Cambot rag on both the movie AND on Mike, Crow and Tom Servo's commentary. Nobody would see that coming! Well, they will now! Of course they should have just the regular version available too. Double the pleasure, double the fun!
Technically, the DVD looks good, and it's nice to be able to enjoy so many classic MST3K moments. Such as "Should we be seeing this?" and "Shattner, Shattner, nope, he's not in this one, we're safe!" or the ever-amusing "Self-cleaning mu-tant, leaves only the fresh scent of pine!"
So, rush out, stock up on this fine cinematic suppository before Dr. Forrester eradicates it onc eagain and drives us all mad in his attempt to take over the world. He is a naughty boy! Naughty, naughty, naughty... *Ahem!* Well...
And now for this commercial message from our sponsor!
*Throws the lever*
*TV short-circuits*
Ohh, poopie!
Well, you know what you have to do...
"Turn up the Flash Gordon noise and put more science stuff around!"
Then put this movie on repeat until you're sick of it and know every line by heart!
Summary of Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (Widescreen)
The cult television show (in which a hapless space explorer and his robot pals are forced to watch and deliver a hilarious running commentary on bad movies) makes a successful transition to the big screen as Mike and the 'bots lay waste to the '50s sci-fi yarn This Island Earth (a painfully stiff would-be epic that's actually a cut above the usual MST3K fare). While ardent fans may be a little miffed that more advantage isn't taken of the expanded theatrical venue (aside from a tad more scatological humor than usual, the content here would fit in comfortably as a regular episode of the series), the nonstop, hyper-literate salvo of comedy riffs that run the gamut from references to Tommy Chong's backyard to Yes album covers more than make up for any conceptual complacency. Be prepared to laugh till it aches. --Andrew WrightFrom the makers of the highly successful cult classic TV series comes Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie - one of the most outrageous, most irreverent, and most hilarious big-screen spoofs ever! A mad scientist, in his quest for world domination, concocts a diabolical scheme to subject the human race to the worst movie ever made: 1955's This Island Earth. It's up to one test subject's quick wit, sharp sense of humor, and utter intolerance for cinematic garbage to foil the plans of the scientist and to save the Earth. Experience the hijinks and low jabs of Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie - where the worse the movie is, the better time you'll have!
