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 Wright |

From 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! |

MST 3000 |

Our family discovered Mystery Science Theater 3000 while it was still more or less on the air back in the very late 90's. We loved the campy nature of the series and the truly awful movies they spoofed. Since then we've snapped up every single movie and compilation DVD released. If you're familiar with MST3K, you know there is quite a different vibe between the earlier Joel shows and the later ones after Mike took over the Satillite of Love. I suspect there are seperate camps who adore either Mike or Joel, each group loathing the followers of the other. I find both actors appealing in some ways and off-putting in others. While both can be quite funny, Joel seems to channel Pauly Shore a lot while Mike often acts likes he's on a some secret joke that's way over the heads of the rest of us. MST 3000 - the Movie was the show's first / last big screen effort and clearly the Minneapolis-based gang didn't meld with their Hollywood mentors. The studio's effort to "professionalize" the TV show's hokeyness totally missed the point that the series' slapdash approach was a major part of its charm. |

MST Again |
Great to see this released on DVD again (how about a special edition on Blu-ray sometime soon?) - I saw this at the theatre and was not fast enough to get the DVD version the first release.
Full of the fun humor that all MST fans love - with a slightly larger budget to play with.
I recommend it! |

Great show, good movie |
This is the standard Mystery Science Theater 3000 treatment of a movie. This movie (This Island Earth) is not as bad as most of the fair the crew had to suffer through during the regular show. However, the commentary and jokes fly none stop. This is one of my personal favorites and I can't recommend it enough.
If you are new to MST3K, this is a good introduction into the joy of riffing. |
