Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Time Travelers (2017)
Good, but not great
I will make this short and sweet. This was a good episode, but not nearly as funny as Reptilicus or Cry Wilderness. The movie is good for MST3K riffing, but there's not as much funny riffs this time. Not that the riffs are bad, they're just not quite as good as the past 2 episodes.
The movie is typical 60s sci-fi traveling to the future type story. Not all that memorable except for the annoying ass Danny.
Overall, this episode was good, even if it was weaker than Reptilicus and Cry Wilderness
Mystery Science Theater 3000: Cry Wilderness (2017)
Stronger and funnier
While I liked the first episode of this reboot, Cry Wilderness is where the reboot got better. The riffs were better, and overall the kinks were worked out.
Cry Wilderness is a pretty damn bad movie. It ranks up there with some of the worst movies that MST3K had ever riffed. Yea that bad! There's Bigfoot, an annoying child and lots of wilderness and that's about it.
This episode has some fun segments. Pearl, Bobo, and Brain Guy come back in this one, and its a nice treat. Other than that, this episode was better.
8.2/10
Mystery Science Theater 3000: Reptilicus (2017)
A good but rocky start
The first episode of the MST3K revival is a success, but not as much as people make it out to be. Lets start with what this reboot gets right: the riffs are funny, I like Jonah, and the new voices for the bots (except for Gypsy's, I like the falsetto voice of the original better). The movie choices are good and are classics too. I like the set designs too and the idea of a new premise of MST3K and not just rehashing the same sets. But lets get to the movie.
Reptilicus is another monster movie much like Gorgo, or the Gamera series that mst3k had riffed in the past, except it was made in Finland. The movie dons a classic b-movie style: bad acting, annoying or asshole characters, cheap effects poor monster design, and set design. Its a great movie for MST3K to make fun of. And it turns out that like I said before, the riffing is good, not excellent.
Now lets get to the problems with the reboot: some of the riffs seem too fast and don't give you much room to breath. The new mad scientists are not very good. Except for TV's son of TV's Frank, who is fun. Kinga Forrester is not very funny and quite forgettable in comparison with Dr. Forrester and Pearl. Kinga's not terrible, but isn't a very intimidating or funny character. Gypsy's new voice just doesn't fit her well, like I said before,the original falsetto voice was much better.
Overall, this was a good reboot, but rocky. It does keep the spirit of the show well, but does need some improvement, which the next episodes do well.
