Review: This is just basicly a very good episode. nothing really special to make it a "Movie!" but is certainly worth the money.

Summary: "This Island Earth" Gets The Royal MST Treatment!
Review: Our friends at MST3K have made it to the big screen! The gang's often-hysterically funny running commentary this time hones in on "This Island Earth", a film that Leonard Maltin gave 3 stars (wonder why; it's terrible and worthy of the barbs it receives in this film). But I wonder why this "feature"-length motion picture has a shorter run time than a single episode of the TV series? Curious? Anyhow...it's still good fun!

Summary: Robot Rumpus
Review: It's clear from Mike Nelson's comments about this film in his book "Movie Megacheese" that he is bitter about his experience with Gramercy Pictures. Despite studio interference the movie is still laugh out loud funny in spots ("Breach hull. All die. Even had it underlined."). Believe it or not "This Island Earth" was considered one of the better 50's attempts at sci fi, however no picture is safe when Mike and the Bots are in top form. From the control panel labeled Manos to Servo's undershorts collection this film is a wonderful introduction to the television series. Catch the Saturday morning reruns on the Sci Fi Channel while you still can; Rhino also has some episodes available for sale.

Summary: Funny stuff
Review: Just as funny as the show, with no commercials. They picked a great movie to make fun of. I wish they would have picked some modern movies when they were doing the show, there are a lot of bad ones.

Summary: MST3K- 101
Review: This movie is sort of a "survey course" for MST3K. The basic premise is as simple as it's always been, an average guy forced to watch terrible movies with only his robot friends to help him cope. The movie "This Island Earth" means well but...well...it's terrible. Thus, "MST3K The Movie" is born as the audience is subjected to this movie with only "Mike and the robots" to help us. Much fun is had as even the casual movie buff will quickly realize the inconsistancies, silliness, and basic ineptness of the plot in this film. If you have seen the TV show, you will smile at seeing your old friends in a Hollywood production. If you have never heard of the show, but find yourself wishing Hollywood would just THINK before releasing it's features, you will appreciate the idea of others speaking your mind. "He's thinking what we're all saying." This is basically MST3K "lite". Most of the obscure references and truly idiotic humour has been left back on the TV show. So, die-hard MST'ies may be disappointed especially as it weighs in at a paltry 74 minutes, wilth basically NO DVD additions due to financial constraints. However, if you take the offering for what it is, a beginner course in MST3K the TV show, you will enjoy watching this DVD many times over.

Summary: ~Attack of the Really Funny Movie~
Review: I still remember in the 2nd grade I caught a horrible virus thingy and was out of school for a week. So of course when your sick, all you really do is sleep or watch TV (not to mention barf, cough, ect.) Anywayz, I came across Mystery Science Theater 3000 and immediately fell in love. I remember waking up at a specific time everyday I was sick just to watch it. I became a huge fan, and you can immagine my excitement when I found out they were making a movie. So there I was, a little 3rd grader in a old Portland theater watching the coolest movie and for some reason I just seemed to blend in. Finally, all those B-movies get it where it hurts. What a waste watching them without a normal guy and 2 robots mocking them every 5 seconds? This movie is a must-see, must-own, and must-brag to all your friends that you have it, so what are you waiting for?!

Summary: No, I can't digest milk..aughhh..
Review: This movie rules just for the fact it's what we all do when watching crappy movies. I saw "This Island Earth" when I was about 8 on a uhf station back in the 70's. It sucked then, but now I think it's genius. If you have a pulse, purchase this DVD...and his casket was made entirely out of coconuts, thank you.......

Summary: "That's not funny Ruth, I was an alien".
Review: This is by far one of the funniest movies. If you're down and need a laugh, just pop this movie in. "Call me Exeter, Doug Exeter""You know, those helmets dont really hide their foreheads". Well, Ill give you a jist of the movie. "This whats seems to be brilliant scientist named Cal builds a contraption called an anarocitor and finds out that his skills have reached an alien named "Exeter" who is part of the Buddy Ebson society and Charlie Rich. Who basically resembles Robin Williams. Well they meet up, have a few drinks, get chased by an alien that is supposed to be identical to the insect life on our planets, and whose head looks like nads. "Hey you crushed my nads".Well that's all I will say, dont want to ruin it for you, but check the movie out, it's wild!

Summary: The best MST3K!
Review: This has to be the best Mst3k episode/movie of all time! The cast (only 5 people) was spectacular, and the movie they did was This Island Earth, which is pretty bad for a stupid sci-fi (you call it sci-fi?)movie.The story of This Island Earth is A big, deep voiced scientist flys to some location in some state (Why don't they tell us where he's going? WHY?) and lands in a airfield, only to find his plane haywire. His plane turns green (or as Mike says, "Well, now I have a refreshing mintt flavor."), and his "sidekick," who looks and sounds like Wilt Chamberlain, investigates the plane attack which should've killed him but didn't. Dammit! Then, they build this what-cha-ma-call it dohickie lokking talking device and talk with a guy white REALLY white hair, and has a big lump for a forehead. He's the alien. (Oh yeah, a big lump the size of a cucumber is going to hide your identity). Things that didn't make sense: Why did they go to that planet without the oh-so precious element they needed? And, why does the lead woman in the film have torpedo-shaped breasts? (My mom found that out) Great lines:"I'm not an alien," "This Island Earth can be yours if the price is right!", and my favorite "Then I ram my editor down your throat and lay my egs in your chest, but i'm not an alien!"

Summary: The greatest comedy movie and show ever.
Review: This movie is by far the funniest movie in recent times. And it's the funniest show to ever be on t.v. in recent memory. The decision by the Sci-Fi channel to cancel it blew my mind, there were so many more horrible movies they could have trashed (Titanic comes to mind) what was that if not sci-fi? This was a great movie based on a can't miss t.v. show. This movie gets better with each viewing, if you haven't seen it please do so, you will roll in the floor laughing. And if you like this movie (and you will,trust me.) Watch the show on the sci-fi channel, they canceled it so there are no more new episodes. They are playing some from the last 3 seasons though (I wish they would play all the episodes from these seasons) why there not I have no idea, it's only the best show on the whole channel. But watch these episodes if you enjoy the movie and you will find yourself laughing uncontrollably at a show that just kept getting better. And be warned that when you watch the movie, you will need your remote for your vcr handy to rewind and catch the jokes you miss while laughing at others. This movie is that good, believe me.
