Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Diagonaldi Very well executed

Bardlerx Strictly average movie

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

oscar-35 I can usually watch anything and I have often enjoyed films that most people agree really stank. BUT this is a major change in my film enjoyment. This film is not only bad, but BORING too! IT STINKS.... On the box, there are 4 stars awarded to this show saying, "One of the BEST drive-in movie of 1989. Check it out twice!" by Joe Bobb Briggs of Host of Drive-In Theater on the Movie Channel. The box also says, "In the grand tradition of Mel Brooks' "Spaceballs" comes this sci-fi comedy guaranteed to provide light-years of laughs. Things are fairly dull for the crew of the space research vessel the USS BOunty until Max (Kyle T. Heffner of 'Flashdance' 'Young Doctors in Love' and 'Women in Red', a stranded musician in space, is accidentally mutilated when he is beamed aboard. He's soon followed by two additional strangers who have been following Max across the universe, but aren't saying why. The journey is long, the crew is crazy, and you'l laugh until your out of control." BEWARE: This is a complete load of steaming bull!@#$. It is not anything like a Brooks film...the film is too long, the plot makes little sense, and I didn't even smile through this one. Give film to someone you dislike.

junk-monkey For the first few minutes this looks like it might be an undiscovered OK SF movie. A routine trip by exploration ship is interrupted when they intercept a particle beam transmission. Should they divert to intercept this beam? It's been out there for a long time traveling through the void. One of the characters points out that "They used to execute criminals by beaming them to nowhere." Hey! a nice neat little SF idea I don't think I've ever heard before - the crew decide to intercept the beam. As they do so discover it's an unknown file type! Another novel, almost funny idea - 10 minutes into the movie and we've had two passable good ideas! (most bad SF movies mostly scrape by on one - or less) unfortunately that's it. After that ran out of ideas and couldn't think of anything to do with the ones they had. The rest of the movie is deathly dull, totally unfunny and soooooo boring.The "French" doctor's accent is so thick you loose half her lines (I guess they made her French so they could show her smoking during an operation - that's the level of the humour). The villains are mind numbingly stupid - letting the crew gather unsupervised to endlessly discuss ways of escaping. The acting is abysmal (though John Fleck as the android Lizardo and John Durbin as Manny the slimy sidekick baddie look like they were trying to make an effort - an uphill struggle given the leaden direction and plodding editing).The music is really crap too.

Brett_Buck There's bad, and there's bad. "Plan 9 From Outer Space" is bad but at least it's so consistently awful that it's entertaining in a slow-motion-train-wreck sort of way. "Mutant" is bad and exceptionally boring to boot. I've seen better writing and acting in old Ultraman episodes. Absolutely dreadful.

emm Reviving B-movies is one thing, and unfortunately, MUTANT ON THE BOUNTY doesn't fit well in the modern, contemporary year of 1989 when movies were made to really attract viewers' tastes. This would have been a fairly decent film thirty years prior to this release, without the lame jokes and terrible acting performances. Even the sets are poorly designed, too! Who on Earth would let the actors wear their original garments in a spaceship anyway? It's also unbelievable that I counted 13 "F" words spoken, making it the highest number for a movie rated PG-13 by the M.P.A.A.! Here is yet another lame-brained comedy that gets tossed out of the window. Ranks right up there with LEONARD, PART 6!
