DVD Reviews of RiffTrax: Plan 9 From Outer Space - from the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000!
DVD Review: Not Up to MST3K Standards
Summary: 2 Stars
As a HUGE fan of MST3K, I've followed most of the cast in their various post-MST projects. I loved the 4 "Film Crew" DVD's and highly recommend those to anyone who enjoyed the Mike Era of MST3K. I was hoping that the Rifftrax version of "Plan 9" would follow suit. I ordered this DVD through the Rifftrax site which has it, as well as the other DVD's immediately available.
Maybe it's almost too easy to tear apart "Plan 9 From Outer Space". While I did get a few chuckles here and there with the commentary provided by Mike Nelson, Bill Corbett and Kevin Murphy...it didn't really live up to expectation. For the most part they avoided quite a few of the "obvious" jokes (awful Ed Wood dialog, scenes switching from night to day back to night again, cardboard tombstones, etc) but, it felt as though too many jokes were left unsaid.
I really enjoy Mike Nelson's comedy, and while "Plan 9" didn't live up to expectation, I do plan on purchasing the other "3 Riffer" versions of "Killers From Space", "Little Shop of Horrors" and "Night of the Living Dead" too. If you are interested in checking out Rifftrax, or seeing how it compares to MST3K or Film Crew (or even Cinematic Titanic), then I highly recommend "Rifftrax Shorts: Vol. 1" in place of "Plan 9". "Shorts Vol. 1" lives up to the comedy high-water mark that MST3K created, and will have you chuckling for a solid 90 minutes.
On the bonus side, this Rifftrax DVD does come with an un-riffed version of "Plan 9 From Outer Space", which was worth the price of the disk for me. I didn't own a clean DVD version of the film before purchasing the Rifftrax disk, and now am glad I have a decent copy.
