Mystery Science Theater 3000: H.G. WELLS' THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME Rewatch

July 13, 2023 4:03 PM - Season 13, Episode 10

Rewatch! In space, things happen. There's a plague and Jack Palance is evil, and at one point his holographic head is gigantic and rotating over the landscape of an alien planet, and there's a really annoying robot that can teleport wherever it wants it seems. H.G. Wells fans, well, won't actually have much to enjoy here, the movie's kind of dull and doesn't really have much to do with his writing. The movie's a mess. Previously.

The movie's a mess

Harsh. My Canadian tax dollars supported this film.

The literati know that this is really adapted from H.G. Wells’ classic Journey to the Center of Whatever the Fuck This Is.

For some reason, I find this movie really entertaining. I enjoy both the MST3K riff and the Rifftrax riff of it.
