Review

This is the feature version of the TV-series "Mystery Science Theatre" – anti-mainstream filmmaking solely for fans and people with a very specific set of preferences. American classics and B-classics like This Island Earth and Rocky Horror Picture Show are being alternately spoofed and hailed, but the commentary style and the jokes aren't fit for carrying a full-length film.
