- Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2025Pod People is my favorite Joel episode. The song they do is AWESOME.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2014I never get tired of old MST3K DVD releases, and I'm pleased that so many seem to feel the same way. The collection of episodes from various seasons (ranging from the last episode of season 1, to one of the last episodes from season 10) doesn't make much sense to the uninitiated.
But MSTies, as they are called, are always welcoming to those new to the club and are happy to explain that complex rights issues prevent coherent releases. Rhino, and later Shout Factory, collect 4 episodes (called "experiments") and release them about twice a year. Grab 'em if you want them sooner rather than later, because things happen and you never know if/when these will go out of print.
They come with slimline cases, posters, and many experiments have nice extras including cast interviews and sometimes comments from the filmmakers themselves (those that are good sports, anyway.)
So some words about the particular experiments:
113 - The Black Scorpion. No TV's Frank, we have the most excellent J. Elvis Weinstiein as Dr. Eckhardt and a surprisingly deep-voiced Tom Servo. The shadow-rama (silhouettes) have an odd green tinge we don't see in later years, but the writing and execution foreshadow the excellent seasons that were to follow. This experiment has to do with maneating ginormous scorpions released by volcanic activity (!!!).
519 - Outlaws is a Jack Palance vehicle of the John Norman "Gor" series. It's awful, so let's focus on what is unusual about this experiment. It is an early Mike episode, and there is a rare invention exchange. The opus "Tubular Boobular Joy" is in this experiment. And "buffalo shots" (don't ask, you probably don't want to know).
901- Projected Man - this is about a matter-transfer experiment that leaves a scientist with a lethal touch. It is the first of season 9, and the first featuring Pearl in Castle Forrester. When this experiment was first broadcast, the soundtrack was damaged or bad in some way, leaving Mike and the 'Bots with an "echoey" sound during their riffing. This was cleaned up in later broadcasts, and this DVD has the corrected sound. Sadly, season 9 was rather short with only 13 episodes, but this was one of the better ones.
1010- What lives by night? Bats of course, and we got a guy turning into one. Host segments are very funny as Mike and the 'Bots take ill-fated steps towards business ownership and entrepreneurism. They fail of course. This episode was one of the last, and was repeated several times by the Sci Fi Channel. One of the better experiments.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2008For most of you who remember, MST3K dealt with a guy, some bots, mad scientists, and the worst films ever to hit the cinematic realm. The series was hilarious because, as one critic pointed out, we all love making odd comments when watching bad films. Heck, I once did it in 'Star Wars: Episode I.' (Sorry, Lucas, blame the 'bots.)
Thus, the show was a sensation hit for several seasons, even migrating over to the Sci-Fi Channel after Comedy Central plunged them into obscurity. My favorite episodes are 'Santa Claus Conquers The Martians' (which you can finally locate in 'MST3K: The Essentials') and 'Pod People' (basically due to the fact it's kind of a messed up version of E.T. and really has nothing to do with pods whatsoever. 'Trumpy! You can do STUPID things!').
Anyway, the movie, like the series, has become a sought after classic. At the time I only have the VHS version since I didn't have a DVD, and Grammercy only made about a few copies for DVD to begin with. Some claimed the quality wasn't that good, so we're hoping Rogue Entertainment might make some improvements to this one.
But I digress, the story temporarily rehashes the plot for those new to MST3K: Dr. Forrester (Dr. F) has sent Mike helplessly into outer space, subjecting him (and the 'bots) to the worst films ever conceived. This is in hopes Dr. F can find the worst one to unleash on an unsuspecting world and have global domination.
Of course, Mike and the 'Bots go about their merry business. Today Crow decides he wants to dig an escape tunnel, until he realizes (despite Tom's warnings) you can't dig through space. Fortunately Mike manages to resolve it, just as Dr. F calls in.
The movie happens to be 'This Island Earth,' in which Mike and the 'bots make fun of in the usual fashion about a man and a woman who get involved with aliens from another world.
Though from the VHS version the theater sketches are slim (heard the original DVD version was completely uncut), they are humourous as in the series. Like Mike attempting piloting the Satellite of Love and wrecking the Hubble Telescope in the process. Another where Tom admits he has an interocetor (the movie's invention) and they attempt calling for help.
Overall, MST3K the Movie is definitely a long-awaited classic for MSTies and new fans alike, a great film coming back from a prolonged hitaus. Now if we could just do the same for the series as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars MST3K: The Movie on BluRay
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good laugh
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars 5 Sterne für Metaluna 4
Obwohl ich zugeben muss, dass die Gags vom Theater 3000 auch ein paar gute Lacher bringen. Was mich nur stört ist dass Metaluna 4 hier als schlechter Film angesehen wird. Die mittlerweile erhältliche Spezial Edition kostet zwischen 60 und 100 Euro, was natürlich ein Witz ist, aber der Film ist ein absoluter Meilenstein. Er erzählt eine phantastische Geschichte und die Bilder von Metaluna 4 bleiben noch lange im Gedächtnis. Denn es wird dort eine wahrlich futuristische Welt gezeigt (mit den Mitteln der 50iger). Soviel Mut hat heute keiner mehr. Da wird in jedem SF-Schinken mittlerweile nicht anders geballert als bei jedem Rambo (mit Maschinenpistolen usw.). Autos können meistens fliegen, sind aber immer nur Autos die in Blechlawinen sich durch die Häuserschluchten quälen. SF hatte mal den Anspruch utopisch fantastisches zu zeigen. Das ist heute immer weniger der Fall. Andere Welten sollten nun mal wirklich gank anders sein und nicht nur bekanntes etwas anders präsentieren. Auch wenn in diesen alten Filmen manches naiv ist. Sie sind wunderbar dramatisch gestaltet und man erkennt noch Menschen mit Motiven. Wir sollten heute nicht so selbstgefällig urteilen, denn aktuelle Filme sind leider viel zu oft reiner Action Klamauck Nonsens denn man in nichts ernst nehmen kann, siehe Transformers, neue Star Wars Filme, 2012 usw. usw. Es werden tolle Bilder aus dem Computer gezeigt und mit völlig sinnfreien und lachhaften Slapstik Gehampel an Schauspielerei kombiniert, was jede Dramatik und Spannung völlig ruiniert. Wenn bei Metaluna 4 das Raumschiff über die verwüstete Oberfläche dahingleitet und alle dabei schweigend betroffen auf den Bildschirm starren, dann ist das eine ganz große packende Szene (wenn man noch soviel Phantasie aufbringt sich solch eine Katastrophe vorzustellen). Prügeln dagegen Roboter wild aufeinander ein während dazwischen ständig doofe Witze und hysterisches Gehampel abgeht, juckt mich das keine Sekunde. Was damals mit wenig Geld möglich war, erstickt heute im Overkill und niemand kümmert es neben der alles überragenden Optik, das ganze auch noch mit sowas wie ein normales Umfeld an Akteuren und Motiven zu schaffen. Sollte mal in 50 Jahren jemand eine Serie wie Theater 4000 basteln, sind da sicher so manche Megabuster von heute dabei und unsere Enkel lachen sich dann hoffentlich wieder krank über den Blödsinn der da jetzt als Superlative bezeichnet wird. (Transformers, neue StarWars Filme, fast alle Roland Emmerich Katastrophen und Remakes, Stoff gäbs dafür reichlich)

It’s a great show. Just enjoy it.
I have the DVD and they really cleaned up this island earth compared to the DVD.
The “live” scenes are better quality too but not as noticeable as

5.0 out of 5 stars The silhouettes look great!
Movie: 5/5
This is Mystery Science Theater: The Movie. It's well written, and despite being hacked apart in editing due to audience testing response as fans know, it's very funny.
Video: 4/5
The host segments look beautiful. You can see the strings on the robots very well and easily identify the materials use on set, and I love it. This Island Earth however, is clearly the same version they filmed against and not taken from the Blu Ray remaster of the movie which has been released outside the UK. It's grainy and a shame they didn't or couldn't get a better version re-cut for the movie, but it still looks better than the DVD version. The silhouettes look great though!
Audio: 5/5
Sounds great to me.
Overall: 5/5
Naturally, MSTies are going to buy this, and there's every reason to: it looks beautiful! But, as others have mentioned, the extras are lacking; there's a 5:16 "featurette" in standard definition (a brief behind the scenes / what is MST3k dealio), a 1:40 trailer and a stills gallery. That's it. Still, hopefully we'll get more and better now that it's coming back.
