At long last, the wait for satisfaction is over. Mostly.
So, okay, the short and sweet of it is this:

Pros: They finally re-released this on DVD, eBay prices instantly dropped from $150/ea back to about a more reasonable $15-$20 or less for he old and new release.

Cons: Thsi is still basically only a barebones release. Ya' get the movie. That about sums it up.

Personally I'd still like to see a "special edition" or "collector's edition" with actual special features on it, such as a commentary track from the creators.

Personally, my suggestion (which might just rock everyone's socks off) would be to do an MST3K of MST3K: The Movie. Bring back Joel, and have him, Gypsy and Cambot rag on both the movie AND on Mike, Crow and Tom Servo's commentary. Nobody would see that coming! Well, they will now! Of course they should have just the regular version available too. Double the pleasure, double the fun!

Technically, the DVD looks good, and it's nice to be able to enjoy so many classic MST3K moments. Such as "Should we be seeing this?" and "Shattner, Shattner, nope, he's not in this one, we're safe!" or the ever-amusing "Self-cleaning mu-tant, leaves only the fresh scent of pine!"

So, rush out, stock up on this fine cinematic suppository before Dr. Forrester eradicates it onc eagain and drives us all mad in his attempt to take over the world. He is a naughty boy! Naughty, naughty, naughty... *Ahem!* Well...

And now for this commercial message from our sponsor!
*Throws the lever*
*TV short-circuits*
Ohh, poopie!

Well, you know what you have to do...

"Turn up the Flash Gordon noise and put more science stuff around!"

Then put this movie on repeat until you're sick of it and know every line by heart!

I'd like them to have a go at Deathday by Eugene Bruce
Deathday by Eugene Bruce would be better! Maybe, maybe not who knows actually, mystery Science is a joy and far far superior as a concept but being an impoverished author i won't apologise for shamelessly promoting my debut novel Deathday by Eugene Bruce - I'd very much appreciate you checking it out that's DEATHDAY by EUGENE BRUCE - I love you America!

For fans and new comers
a must see for fans of the series. and those who have never seen a MST3K show.

MST3K the movie is awesome
This is a must have for MST3K fans and could easily create new fans. Very well done.

MST 3000
Our family discovered Mystery Science Theater 3000 while it was still more or less on the air back in the very late 90's. We loved the campy nature of the series and the truly awful movies they spoofed. Since then we've snapped up every single movie and compilation DVD released. If you're familiar with MST3K, you know there is quite a different vibe between the earlier Joel shows and the later ones after Mike took over the Satillite of Love. I suspect there are seperate camps who adore either Mike or Joel, each group loathing the followers of the other. I find both actors appealing in some ways and off-putting in others. While both can be quite funny, Joel seems to channel Pauly Shore a lot while Mike often acts likes he's on a some secret joke that's way over the heads of the rest of us. MST 3000 - the Movie was the show's first / last big screen effort and clearly the Minneapolis-based gang didn't meld with their Hollywood mentors. The studio's effort to "professionalize" the TV show's hokeyness totally missed the point that the series' slapdash approach was a major part of its charm.
