Review of Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie (1996) by Esther F — 22 Sep 2007

Speaking as a HUGE MSTie. . . this is a pretty good adaptation of the TV show, and it's hard to see how a fan of the show could possibly be disappointed. The film being mocked, "This Island Earth", is actually decent, although that doesn't mean Mike, Tom and Crow's riffing is any less effective or pointed.

The host segments are certainly better than 90% of those for the TV show, and the music is wonderful. The only question I have is: why is the film shorter than most episodes of the TV show? NORMAL VIEW! NORMAL VIEW!! NORMAL VIEW!! NORMAL VIEW!!!!!!!
