I rented this movie, expecting it to be a great comedy since it is so well recommended on here, and I found it to be about as annoying as watching a movie and over-hearing wanna-be-comics talking all the way thru. If I wanted that sort of experience, I'd invite my friend that never shuts up, even when a movie is playing. This 'movie' if you can call it that is so bad that I actually would've pre... read more

This movie is basically a deluxe version of the popular cult-TV favorite 'Mystery Science Theater 3000.' In the movie, as in the TV-series, Dr. Clayton Forrester forces Mike Nelson and his two robots to watch bad B-Movies. As these movies are screened for them (and us), we see the theater seats and them silhouetted against the bottom of the screen. Their running commentary riffs off of the film and each other and their sophomoric jabs at humor form a continuous patter not unlike what might be heard among the audience, if these films were to be shown at a frat party. This particular episode features 'This Island Earth' (1954).

"MSTK:TM is a science fiction movie about watching a science fiction movie. I guess, it's kinda like creating a fictional universe within a fictional universe. With robots. And when you think about it, a science fiction flick probably couldn't get any more science fictiony than that. I was a big fan of MST3K from the beginning when it just a small TV show that came outta the Minneapolis area. And while this big sreen version didn't make much of an impact at the box office, the few weeks that "
