Product Description

For those of you who have one (or possibly 30 now) of the MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000 collections, please skip to the third paragraph. Welcome new friends. You've heard about this show, possibly read an article in a magazine or seen it referenced on some other show you watch: but what exactly is it? Basically, it's a show about a guy and his two robot friends aboard a space ship who are forced to watch old, cheesy movies by mad scientists. To get through it, they make wisecracks during the movies, a comic call-and-response. It was on TV for ten years. There's a feature film, too. That's the gist of it. You know enough now. Read on. Okay, we're back on for four more of you know what, with you know who getting all kinds of nutty. Enjoy. Titles Include: THE BLACK SCORPION, OUTLAW (OF GOR), THE PROJECTED MAN, and IT LIVES BY NIGHT.

Really happy friend
This was a Christmas gift for a friend last year. He's a huge MST3K nut and was ecstatic when he opened this Christmas morning, as this was the only thing his collection lacked. Friend is happy, so I'm happy!

5.0 out of 5 stars MST FANS : THIS IS GOOD THIS island Earth
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024

This is also called MST 3000 the movie. In this movie the inhabitants of the satellite of love are viewing a science fiction, movie entitled “This Island Earth.”
According to some people, this movie was too good to play with, but I thoroughly enjoyed watching.
Shenanigans from Crow start it off. I had a guest watching with me who had never seen MST and was not prepared. He only made it about 1/3 of the way through and had to stop because he was laughing so hard, he couldn’t catch his breath. Sure to be rewatched.

I remember the first time ever watching this movie back in the ‘90s. I laughed so much that I would have to back the movie up because I would laugh through the next joke and miss it. I love MST3K, and this movie was the guys at their best!
Item arrived factory new, and as described.

4.0 out of 5 stars "So The Aliens Live In Hooterville?"
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2009

Filmed at Energy Park Studios in St. Paul, Minnesota, this Mystery Science Theater 3000 big screen adaptation of 1955's "This Island Earth" will tickle the fancy of any aficionado of the show, fan of science fiction, or lover of comedy. The plotline is essentially unchanged from the brilliant TV show, although sets are more extensive and costly. In this iteration Dr. Forrester (Trace Beaulieu) taunts his test subjects Mike Nelson, Crow T. Robot (also Trace Beaulieu), and Tom Servo (Kevin Murphy) with the classic sci-fi film about atomic power, aliens with giant foreheads, and huge mutant insects, in an effort to break their wills, an effort that, predictably, fails.

"This Island Earth" follows Dr. Cal Meacham (Rex Reason) and Dr. Ruth Adams (Faith Domergue) as they journey to the planet of Metaluna with giant foreheaded Exeter (Jeff Morrow,) who is on a mission to save his home planet from destruction by meteors. The Metalunans are much advanced over humans, but need the help of Meacham and Adams for purposes of obtaining uranium to shield their planet from destruction. The thing that's most interesting about this film is that they spend a whopping total of about five minutes on Metaluna before Exeter, Meacham, and Adams start back toward Earth. It's like they go to the planet, tell the ruler "no, we won't help you" and promptly leave. All this makes for a movie with a very short running time and even with the MST3K host segments the final product is only 74 minutes long, which is a bit of a disappointment considering the original unedited version of "This Island Earth" is 87 minutes long.

The choice of material was controversial both within the MST3K camp and with fans. The film was readily and cheaply available, but was viewed by many as not as strong a choice as could have been made as "This Island Earth" is viewed by many sci-fi historians and fans as a classic of the genre and something of a good movie. Certainly the film is not among the worst that MST3K has skewered ("Monster a Go-Go" anyone?) and as a result the riffing is weaker than a normal MST3K episode. Don't get me wrong, there are some great lines from Nelson and company: "Suddenly I have a refreshing mint flavor.", "Hey! It's a moth equipped with a lightning bug!", and my personal favorite exchange after seeing the wacky Metalunan architecture that so resembled dreadful album covers from the 1970's, "It looks like Dr. Seuss designed their planet....They're really into 'Yes' on this planet."

While I like the film, this is the first (and likely only) time I can't give five stars to an MST3K production. While good, the riffing and host segments weren't as funny or wry as their best efforts ("Manos," "Hobgoblins," "Mitchell," etc.), and the film lost some of it's low budget charm when dressed in the trappings of a Hollywood release. I certainly like the movie and recommend it, but still believe that it could have been so much more than good; with the right movie it could have been great.

This movie was i think one of the first if not the first mystery science theatre 3000 (or MST3K) efforts - and its one of the best, given that they are able to take the mickey out of a well loved sci fi film of the 50s, this island earth, which has so many of the 50s SF tropes:- mysterious inventions, square jawed hero, screaming heroine, interplanetary travel, monster for the heroine to scream at. Tbh we cannot view this film in any kind of pre critical way now that the team of mike, crow, et al have had a go at it. The basic - and lovably daft - premise of MST3K is that a msd scientist has trapped mike and robot friends on a satellite whehe he proceeds to force feed (or force view) them 50s USA (mainly) SF films as some kind of torture, which they, while watching, ridicule mercilessly to our delight and hilarity. Enjoy.

THIS REVIEW IS FOR MST3K: THE MOVIE....Ordered on Monday morning and it arrived Friday morning, so that was great because it was shipped separately from my other item. I have wanted this movie on BluRay for a while, so I am super happy with this purchase. This movie never fails to lift my spirits with some silliness

Case comes with the two disks (one BluRay and one DVD). The movie looks great,crisp and clear. The movie is full screen (it is from 1996).

There are NO subtitles. There are no language choices.

The extras are fun for geeks like me especially when it comes to the ideas that they had and how they evolved into the product we got. I am pleased that they added in lots of extra stuff on a movie that is over 20 years old. The two documentaries are current (2013) and cover production of the movie as well as the history of the source movie "This Island Earth".

And then there are deleted scenes, which just add to the fun, and my personal enjoyment :)

5 stars because I suddenly have a refreshing mint flavor
