Mike Nelson and robots Crow T. Robot, Tom Servo, and Gypsy are orbiting the Earth. Evil scientist Dr. Clayton Forrester forces them to watch the movie 'This Island Earth' to break their will before submitting to him. They ridicule the bad movie as they watch it.
This is based on a low-budget TV show. I've never seen it but it certainly isn't necessary for one to see it before seeing this movie. The concept is pretty simple. The jokes from the characters sitting in front of the movie screen are sometimes good. There are a few good laughs but mostly, it's a series of mild wisecracks. 'This Island Earth' is not the most horrible movie. There are some silly 50's sci-fi designs to ridicule. It's a lot of little chuckles. Outside of sitting in front of the screen, the crew has some adventures. It's nothing that funny. It might be more appealing to fans of the TV show. This is a relatively short movie. It feels like a TV episode and fans of the TV show would probably love this.
