      Movie Info

      Dr. Clayton Forrester (Trace Beaulieu) 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 (Michael J. Nelson) and his robot pals, Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo (Kevin Murphy), Forrester makes them watch a cheesy 1950s spaceship film. But when Mike and friends make funny comments throughout the movie and others that follow it, Forrester's plan looks increasingly flimsy.

        Of course, I liked it, but it was pretty much the same as the show. There's no real reason to make it in movie-form.

        This is what I was talking about, comedy, silliness, intelligence, making fun of with a dash of innocence on the side! The jokes are clever and really hysterical, the story is like an bit like an extended episode, which is why it's so good, and it's just non stop fun and I really had a time of my life watching this! This is a definate must see! A+

        I like Joel better. He stepped behind the scenes by this time. He is back doing a Broadway show these days that I would enjoy seeing.

        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 imagine even the most hardcore MST3K fans enjoying this very much.
