An average movie

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much from this flick. Indeed, it doesn’t have a really good reputation, it seemed to have killed this franchise and it took them more than a decade to finally get the nerves to release a new installment theatrically. And, indeed, it is the weakest installment I have seen so far but, still, I have to admit it, it was better than I expected. Personally, I really enjoyed the first scene starring Noah and Gonzo and I thought it was a great idea to focus on him and his dubious origins. On top of that, I seemed only natural that they would make at last a SF adventure starring those whacky muppets. Unfortunately, instead of going outer space like the title and the poster seemed to promise, you get a rather underwhelming plot about Gonzo getting those weird messages from some supposedly alien relatives. So, the whole thing felt like a missed opportunity and you definitely start to feel some fatigue in this franchise (after all, it was already the 6th installment so that was hardly surprising). To conclude, I still think it was a decent flick though and I think it is worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
