Not the worst movie on MST3K... but still very bad
17 August 2003
There have been bad movies i've seen, oh and believe me i've seen almost every one of them on Mystery science theater 3000. "Teenagers from outer space" is quite laughable and stupid. It is however not the worst movie on MST3K. The Laughable comes in the form of not even trying to disguise the props! The worst and first instance that makes this movie too stupid for it's own good comes when these "Teenagers from outer space" put this device on the ground, there is a close up during the movie that reveals that on the device, it says "Multichannel Mixer"!!!!! Then they talk about their animals named "Gargons" using earth as a grazing ground. It is quite obvious however to even the most retarded of individuals that the Gargons are actually just your common, everyday lobster. No one even bothered to disguise that fact! And despite the utter stupidity on the part of writers, directors, prop guys, and so on that those obvious things just went right by! Of course you must also take into account this movie was filmed in 1959, of course that is still no excuse for technical incompetence. I tell you though although they screwed up on those things, it's quite apparant to me that they had a very large budget for faux human skeletons. The story is almost fairly decent, and that is the only thing going for this whole mess of an antique wanna-be sci-film.
