Rating:  - VERY BORING MOVIE WITH FEW LAUGHS
One of the worst jobs that Mike Nelson and Company have done so far. The movie I expect to be bad, but the commentary usually makes it watchable. Not so with this one. The laughs are few and far between. There just isn't much you can do with this movie. Save your money for a different one in this series such as the Giant of Marathon.
Rating:  - The Film Crew: Killers From Space
Well, If you love Mystery Science Theater 3000 as much as I do, 'The Film Crew' is as close as we are going to get to a modern day mst3k. I didn't know what to expect when I bought this dvd, but soon, I am going to own them all. Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy, and Bill Corbett host, and offer their commentary much in the mst3k style, except that there is no movie theater silouette or Crow & Tom Servo, but this show does hold its own. I think that mst3k was one of the greatest shows in history, and although The Film Crew is no Mystery Science Theater, watching this dvd was like catching up with some old friends again. I enjoyed it very much!
Rating:  - Don't waste your time
What a disappointment!!!
My 19 yr old son and I LOVED MST3000...watched and roared with laughter at the horrible movies and hilarious comments by Joel, then Mike and the Bots...we were sad to see them go...but got really excited to see Mike and the gang...minus the Bots...were back!
Ordered the movie...waited with anticipation for it to arrive...popped the popcorn, chilled the soda and got ready for the side-splitting hilarity to begin....BUT IT NEVER CAME...the hilarity that is...
Dumb comments + stupid pre-movie banter= movie not worth buying nor renting for that matter...what a waste of time and money...won't be making that mistake again....ugh!
Rating: - Tonight on... Biography
The Film Crew consists of three alumni of the great movie-mocking TV show, MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATER 3000. The premise for this project is not that Mike Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett are trapped in an orbiting satellite; instead, they're three lowly employees at a DVD distributor, charged by their boss to create a commentary track for every movie they release, no matter how obscure or painful.
KILLERS FROM SPACE is the second film to be mocked by The Film Crew and its sheer goofiness makes it a perfect target. Peter Graves stars as a nuclear physicist whose exact job is unclear, but it involves riding around in air force jet planes over nuclear tests and making wry comments.
After Peter Graves' jet crashes and burns during an atomic test, the army becomes a little suspicious when he turns up relatively unscathed and insisting that he be allowed to keep his top secret clearance and access to government files on nuclear weaponry. These suspicions turn out to be somewhat justified when Peter Graves starts having visions of bizarre alien creatures who apparently share an optometrist with Sesame Street's Cookie Monster.
Even more than the first entry in the The Film Crew series, KILLERS FROM SPACE really felt to me like the return of MST3k. Although the theater seat silhouette is still absent, the overall style of the episode felt very familiar. Perhaps it was simply the presence of Peter Graves who appeared in more MST3k movies than almost any individual ... Read More
Rating: - A Better Effort by "The Film Crew"
"Killers From Space" is the second release from the "Film Crew". Three of the members of MST3K have joined together to have another go at schlock. This movie is ideal for an MST3K-type treatment, and the Crew does a pretty good job at riffing this wiener of a movie. The plot is that Peter Graves, atomic scientist is forced by the aliens to deliver key test data after reviving him from an otherwise fatal plane crash. The aliens are mutating a bunch of lizards and insects to destroy all life, so they can move in. Naturally, no one believes him so he undertakes to shut down the power source the aliens are tapping. The movie itself is some sort of early Fellini film: bizarre insert shots of closeups, Killers who don't show up for almost 20minutes into the movie and frankly aren't all that threatening, and the smoking. My goodness, the smoking, folks are lighting up every 10 minutes or so (maybe a tobacco company was a sponsor-not unusual in the 50's). Is this equivalent to a great MST3K episode? Well, maybe not a best-effort, but I think it is certainly competitive with the last two seasons of MST3k. Recommended.
