Editorial Reviews:
|
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

Summary: VRJ
Comment: This Mystery Science Theater that featured "This Island Earth" is very funny. The only downside is when they break away from the movie and attempt to do something funny.

Summary: Love this show...and movie
Comment: I had been looking for this movie on DVD for awhile now, and what a surprise to find in on Amazon for only $15. I priced it before for around $200.00 (no joke). If you are not familiar with the show, I recommend you watch a few epsoides. Great concept, LOVE the show and the movie!

Summary: Refreshing mint flavor
Comment: Normally I am not a consumer of sci fi movies or television shows. My brother convinced me years ago to watch this with him, and I am so glad he did! I laughed myself to tears and had to watch it again to catch some of the jokes I had missed the first time. It's one of the few movies that I have watched over and over throughout the years. I have an old VHS copy, and I was thrilled to find this DVD re-release. If you have an open mind, an appreciation for humor, and some good friends to watch it with, you just might love this movie as much as we do.

Summary: Very funny, but...
Comment: It's too much like an episode, but shorter. Still, extremely funny, it's way too funny to skip. SEE IT!
Customer Rating:
Summary: AMAZING!!!
Comment: This is the greatest movie of all time. I can't get enough of it! Every time I watch it, I find something new that I missed the first couple of times. And it's hilarious to quote, too... Good movie for late-night movie nights!
