Retaining the same smart-aleck zaniness that made the series so wildly popular, the film will delight fans of the series and quite possibly make new ones. The film’s plot is exactly the same as the television series, which finds an ordinary guy named Mike (played by Mike Nelson), a mild- mannered maintenance man who is put into a diabolical experiment by the evil Dr. Clayton Forrester (played by Trace Beaulieu). After being sent into space, Mike is forced to watch cheesy sci- fi movies while Dr. Forrester moni tors his mind. Mike’s only com panions are two robots he built, the ever-clever, hysterically funny Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot (voiced by creator/director Jim Mallon and Beaulieu, respectfully), who heckle and crack jokes throughout the entire movie. The film is a movie within a movie. The one in ques tion being the 1956 turkey “This Island Earth.” By itself, “This Is land Earth” would be unwatchable. “MST3K” is like watching these awful movies with your buddies, except with better jokes. The film is very funny, full of sarcasm and wit. I found my self not only chuckling, but laugh ing out loud throughout the movie, not just in a few spots. Pop-culture references abound in “MST3K”. One hysteri cally funny scene finds a spaceship landing on a planet, from which green smoke is rising. One of the robots remarks, “It’s landing in Tommy Chong’s backyard!” Funny, funny stuff. If you are a fan of the series, you will like the film, as all of the principal appeal of the series has been carried over. Director/co- writer/co-creator Jim Mallon sets the film up well and doesn’t fool with the formula of the series. Wise decision, as “MST3K” fans or “MSTies” are a hardcore bunch. That’s not to say that you have to be a fan of the series to enjoy the film. Fans take note: this may be your last chance to see “MST3K” in all its glory. Comedy Central has unceremoniously canceled the se ries, even though reruns will air through late 1996. The film is cur rently is limited release, showing exclusively at the Broadway Metroplex in Downtown Portland. The film opens in wide release on May 3.
