Info

Dr. Clayton Forrester figures he can rule the world if he deadens his subjects' brains by making them endure terrible movies. Exploiting his access to nearby satellite-dwellers Mike Nelson and his robot pals, Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo, Forrester makes them watch "This Island Earth", a cheesy 1950s spaceship film. But when Mike and friends make funny comments throughout the movie and others that follow, Forrester's plan looks increasingly flimsy.

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie Audience Reviews

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
Winifred The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
lawlorwalter So they take an entire already made movie that's not that great by itself and then add a bunch of jokes to it like we all do at home anyway? It's the whole movie they show us so they don't really have to do too much work in adding more original stuff and also the movie is bad so it's not something worth watching anyway unless it is to make fun of which we all end up doing ourselves at home anyway. I'd rather cut it up myself and with my friends than watch and listen to these people trying to do it. The acting is very hammy too.
Aaron1375 This film features the gang of the Satellite of Love like you have never seen them before! Being told what to do by movie producers, being passed over for ad revenue in favor of Barb Wire and riffing a film that is 94 minutes long and longer than this entire film. Still, the riffing was good and the film overall funny, just not as good as some of the stuff one saw in the regular show. In this film the Satellite of Love looks like it is in space, other than that it seems there was very little need to make this movie as the producers seemed to want to make this film short as all get out, it would of been better off simply being an episode of the show. The film being parodied is "This Island Earth", a film I have not seen other than what is presented here. Usually I feel comfortable reviewing films the gang have done, but this one is so obviously cut short I will not review this one as this one is so chopped up a lot of the plot is too. I am not sure what is happening in places so until I see the full movie I will not review it. I can review this though and like I said, it is good, but I would rather they had stayed on television as this movie is shorter than anything they did on the show on Comedy Central or the Sci-Fi channel. The host segments were not as funny as the host segments on the regular show either as they seemed to want to scream at the audience, "This is a movie!" So overall, funny, just kind of pointless. Though it is one film I can watch the closing credits.
Claudio Carvalho The evil scientist Dr. Clayton Forrester (Trace Beaulieu) locks Mike Nelson (Michael J. Nelson) and two robots in a spacecraft to watch terrible low-budget movies as part of his scheme to conquer the world. He projects 1954 "This Island Earth" (Title (Brazil): "Guerra Entre Planetas") with the intention of driving them crazy. However, the trio laughs and makes funny comments in every scene and dialogs, having good-time instead, and Dr. Forrester's ambitious plan does not work. The first time I saw "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie" on 01 February 2000 I loved it a lot and I gave a nine. I had watched the cheese "This Island Earth" a few months ago and the comments of Mike Nelson and the two robots made me laugh a lot. Today I have just watched this film again and it is still hilarious, but my rating is lower this time. "Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie" was released in Brazil on VHS by CIC-Universal Distributor. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "O Filme Mais Idiota do Mundo" ("The Most Idiot Movie of the World")
Kristine Mystery Science Theater 3000, anyone who is a fan of this show is a friend of mine, it's a great show for any movie buff. The reason why the show is so loved is because it does what we always want to do or say during a really bad movie. So naturally the successful show that was created on Comedy Central wanted to do a movie about our favorite sarcastic robots. Was the movie a success? Not so much, but doesn't mean that this movie is bad at all, in fact, it's a great one to watch. My only disappointment? I think was just the fact that this was just like any other episode, there was nothing really too special about it to make it stand out as a movie. Secondly, I've seen funnier episodes than this movie. I'm not dissing the movie, because this is still completely worth the watch.Mike, Tom and Gypsy are startled to find Crow deep in the lower sections of the Satellite of Love, pounding at the hull with various digging instruments. He has convinced himself that he can tunnel back to Earth, he tells them. Checking his digging calculations, Crow discovers that he already knew this was inevitable: Look at that, Breach Hull, All Die. Even had it underlined! They return to the Bridge, as Dr. Forrester announces that he is about to make them watch the 1955 classic sci-fi thriller This Island Earth in an attempt to break their wills. In Mystery Science Theater 3000 tradition, we are in for a good ride as they mock this silly clichéd 50's sci fi film with no mercy.I do love the film that they picked This Island Earth, while in some sense it is a fun little sci fi classic, probably the first movie that I saw before I ever saw it on Mystery Science Theater 3000, it still is really cheesy and fun to make fun of. I just love at the end where the alien is trying to protect our two main characters away from the monster and for some odd reason he just lightly blocks the two people away from the monster as Mike points out "ACTING!", lol! Obviously fans of the show are going to see this movie, it's a little girt to the fans I think in some sense, I wish they had a few more cameos and could've gone a little bigger, but it's all good. For those who don't know the premise of the show, this is a funny movie, the people that I've introduced the show too have mixed reviews, a few loved it a few didn't really like it, so it's one of those movies you'll have to decide for yourself.9/10
