Bring on the monkeys!
Added 4/27/2002
Yes, if monkeys watched this movie, they would rate it 5 star too. I know cause I was talking to the monkey king today, but that's not important right now. What's important is trying to get people to see this movie, because you will laugh so much, the monkeys will have to carry you home. Trust me on this. The only major problem with this film is that it's not available anywhere in Europe, so if anyone can prove me wrong and find it here, I don't care. Just watch the movie.

"This Island Earth" Gets Satirically-recharged
Added 12/21/2001
MST3K's Satirical Look at 50's Sci-Fi and other Film Failures, "turned into masterful COMEDIES" by the Wonderful Cast of MST3K, was never more on cue and on-target than in the Bots'(and "Mike Nelson," their PEACH-Colored "Humanoid" fellow Space Captive) BIG-SCREEN Comeback, from Late-Night TV Oblivion(then to be re-rescued, by the SCI-FI network, until MST3K's last New Episode, in August 1999, as the boys Lambasted John Philip Law's "Diabolik!!"). I shall forever miss that show. If you've never seen it, this Movie will give a great 74 Minute Comedic Ride, the kind that'll tell the Big Cable/Network TV "Honcho" SIMPS, that HEY!! THIS is SATIRE!! THIS is how Adult Satire(that KIDS can enjoy, too!!) Is done.

Best of the series
Added 5/12/2001
The movie is by far the funniest of the MST3K videos. It's fun to watch again and again. I haven't seen the subtitled Spanish version, but I'm sure it's just as funny!

Extremely Funny!!!
Added 11/13/2009
After hearing Mike Nelson's hilarious commentaries on 'Night of the Living Dead' and 'Carnival of Souls' I wanted more. Mike, Crow, and Tom are stuck in space on a ship and forced by Dr. Clayton Forrester to watch bad movies from the 50's. This time, they must watch This Island Earth. They come up with witty and wacky comments as they spoof the movie. This Island Earth is about a doctor named Cal Meacham who is asked for help from an alien named Exeter. Exeter and his group are from the planet, Metaluna. Cal and his ex-girlfriend try to help defend their planet in a war against the evil Zagons. If you love making fun of old movies, you'll love MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000: THE MOVIE!!!

Decent incarnation of MST3K
Added 9/26/2009
The Bottom Line:
The film version of Mystery Science Theater 3000 has some great lines and can produce gales of laughter, but the scenes on the Satellite of Love are boring and never funny and the movie starts feeling a bit long even at under 80 minutes; if you're a fan of the show check it out but expect a bit of an uneven performance from everyone's favorite wisecracking movie-watchers.
2.5/4
