Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie Blu-ray

From the makers of the highly successful cult classic TV series comes Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie - one of the most outrageous, most irreverent, and most hilarious big-screen spoofs ever! A mad scientist, in his quest for world domination, concocts a diabolical scheme to subject the human race to the worst movie ever made: 1955's This Island Earth. It's up to one test subject's quick wit, sharp sense of humor, and utter intolerance for cinematic garbage to foil the plans of the scientist and to save the Earth. Experience the hijinks and low jabs of Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Movie - where the worse the movie is, the better time you'll have!

Big time MST3K fan for 21 years since i was 10 and i saw this movie in theaters when i was 14 and dug it.

I can't wait to sell my old bareboned DVD to upgrade for this. I knew they thought my idea was excellent when i suggested to them on facebook requesting this and they thought the idea was great, MY WISH CAME TRUE!

I hope this has good extras like retrospective, interviews, trailer, TV Spots, still galleries, possible deleted scenes and all that.

Don't forget about the consideration of adding This Island Earth as a bonus film on the DVD copy.

Aside from it being one of the few funny Michael J. Nelson episodes (they had to tone down the high-school jock-bully humor for a sillier, more benign mainstream audience), it's the one that gets more converts to the series than anything else.
At one point, Universal was so ready to dump this movie, they burned all the re-release prints; it's nice to see that Shout inherited it along with the TV episodes.

Let's not get the Joel v. Mike debate started here, please.

I agree, I think they are both fun hosts with their own style so to me there should not even be a debate. Pre-Order for sure.

[Thomas Guycott]

Now I don't have to bother considering the Region B UK disc!

I've been a Mystie for almost 20 years, since I was 13, and while I don't consider the movie to be the best example of the show at its creative peak, it's still very funny so I'm in. Shout will give it the best treatment possible.

[RiffFan924]

Buying this day one, also hoping for features....it'll be the 4th time I've owned it.

[starman15317]

Yes!!! I'm pre-ordering this! Nice to see it in the hands of Shout since they also release the show on DVD.

[tonylopez]

MST3K on blu! This is reason to celebrate. Thanks Shout.

[dsman71]

The 4th time for me owning this also. Im sure there will be extras with the MST3K cast and crew on this. This made sense as they do release the 4 DVD volumes..and since the movie was with Universal...

[Crimson King]

I remember in the early 2000's the Image dvd going for like $100 on Ebay

This is probably the only MST3K episode that would actually benefit from an HD presentation.
