From the cult TV series, a man and his two robots trapped in space mock one of the worst movies ever made--only in the one-off feature version the film is THIS ISLAND EARTH, a colorful sci-fi film that isn't close to the laughable fare the show usually covered. The feature film ...( read more)
I love Mystery Science Theater, but the movie version does not compare well with the television series. This Island Earth just doesn't offer many opportunities for humor (except for the absurd insect mutants that are supposedly similar to the insects here on earth). I can't imagi...( read more)
My first exposure to the MST franchise, I had to watch it a second time around to get it better (first time was at night on tv when I was half-asleep) and I'm glad I decided to give it a second chance when I taped it. I had myself in stitches while watching this, I really did. Ta...( read more)
It's not my brand of humour. Their commentary during bad B-films I didn't quite find funny. It was hard watching some of the movies they showed.
Hilarious! If you're a fan of the show this is a must-see. And see it even if you're not. A little bit racier than TV, as they could get away with more, but not too out there. I liked the idea that they used a film -- The Quiet Earth -- that people would want to see anyway. It w...( read more)
its not the best they have done but it was nice to see the show was extrmly well written at the time it was clever and the movie is it trys to keep it up but a bad choice of moive i say

Why this show is not still on I will never know. It couldn't have been a ratings issue. Everyone I know loved it. And god knows there's enough inventory in the vaults to go on for decades. I do what they do sitting in my own living room (sans robots), and I NEVER run out of movies or material. Brilliant show!
There's something I find intoxicating about locking up men and robots in the same room, awaiting a bad movie and sarcastic comments! It's so exquisitely British!
