TrueHello
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Scarlet
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) is a shoe-string budgeted masterpiece of television history and I've only recently been converted to the community of 'MSTies' myself, but wow is this series a whole lot of fun or what? It makes the worst movies ever made into essential watching thanks to crew on the Satellite of Love and The Mads.MST3K is an American production that has all the low-budget production but pricelessly endearing and golden charm of BBC television shows like Red Dwarf, Doctor Who, Fawlty Towers and so-forth; and it's a science fiction show that uses its space-oriented set-up to tell some truly hilarious jokes (especially in the 'Manos: The Hands of Fate' episode). It's also important to note that much like Star Wars or Star Trek, MST3K has a dedicated fan-base that had a pretty vocal and innovative internet community in the 90s which has helped mold modern fandom into what it is today (for better or worse). MST3K is as essential as other television classics like Seinfeld, Friends, Twin Peaks, The Twilight Zone and The Simpsons. MST3K is television for film-lovers and sci-fi junkies.Give this classic from the '80s and '90s a go; it's great, and it's a great proxy for watching some of cinema's greatest mistakes.

The people who invented this show were pure geniuses. Take the absolute worst sci-fi, horror, and fantasy movies from the 50's thru the 70's, add some comedic one liners from some puppet/robots and the human hosts as well as some hysterical voice overs, and you come up with some comedy entertainment gold. Sadly, a handful of the actual movies I can remember our parents taking us to the drive in with them to see while growing up, but they seemed 100% better during this show. If you didn't enjoy this show when it was running, then you have no sense of humor. My kids now a days even enjoy this show. Now that it's on Netflix, we can enjoy them on those dull weekends when there is nothing on TV worth watching. I recommend this show to anyone and everyone for that reason. Well worth a binge watch on those dull weekends, especially if it's stormy outside and the Direct TV is acting up from all the lightning in the summer, or the snow and ice in the winter.

This show sucked so bad I was 9 years old when this came out and even at that age I hated this stupid show. Why? Because it isn't funny at all. This show is ranked up their with the Godfather and Star Trek are you people sure your cool aid wasn't spiked? It has no creativity, no talent, no budget, it deserves 2 stars at the most from die hard fans who actually liked wasting their time sitting there throwing away 90min of their life. You could watch the same movies with your group of friends after getting completely wasted and I guarantee you would make better jokes then these peoples best effort. There should be tons of sell outs on here with comments like I used to like this when I was 5 but I watched it now and it isn't funny. I guess only independent films are the subject of peoples bitter lash out at their own childhood. 0/2

Love the show, always have since I first discovered it when I was a kid, but the problem I found was with the earlier episodes a lot of the jokes would just fly over my head when reference to what were current events in 1988 and so on, however I was born in 1987 so I wouldn't know.The comedians online get much of their inspiration from this series and it shows when you watch it and the presenters were so successful in making people laugh that they continue to do so today with their own company Rifftrax: http://www.rifftrax.com/ Noah Antwiler from the Spoony Experiment mentioned he wanted to start up something like MST3K, but he never got around to it and went with his own style which is for the better otherwise there would be so many people doing the same thing.all in all I thing it's a very funny series, however seems very difficult to get on DVD and I can't find any collection that has all the episodes, but I don't know why that is. I will mention, however that I find you have to be in a certain mood to watch it as unlike Nostalgia Critic of The Spoony One these episodes last the length of the movie and over so you have to be in the mood to watch a riff going on for that long, but well worth it on some of the terrible movies they do. Especially the one they chose for the movie.
