...this movie was! I waited for the video because I had heard so many poor reviews. Now I almost wish I hadn't! What fun!!
Not only did I enjoy this movie, but my 12 yr old did, too. He was able to pick up on some of the more adult-centered humor and felt great when he did. (I remember that feeling as a kid!) He also enjoyed rolling his eyes at the sheer lunacy of most of the movie. Don't we all?
I only wish they had kept all the characters in animation mode. While the actors did a good job, (I especially liked Jason Alexander), it would've "felt better" to see them all the way I remember them.
Watching it on DVD gave us a chance to pick up on things we might otherwise have missed. While Natashe is digging underground for the 3 villains to make their escape, notice that they pass by Hades, a mobster tied-up and with "cement shoes," and part of the Titanic. It goes by very quickly, so we had to rewind a time or two.
Overall, I laughed out loud more during this movie than any in recent memory. It was wonderful to see a funny show with my son where I didn't have to bear bathroom humor, sexual innuendos, nudity, and foul language.
Thank you R&B for bringing back the best of the 60s.

A weak plot made this movie nearly painful to watch. I'm very glad I waited for the video. A good cast and special effects weren't enough to save what could have been a good movie.
There was too much stuff that was uninteresting (the whole boring trip TO Mars) and not enough of the good stuff (AMEE and those strange bugs).
It was also hard to overlook some of the mistakes, too. The bio expert gets the DNA material wrong? The commander gives CPR that looks weak, to say the least. How it could revive anyone is beyond me. And how long did that launch and recover take? He did all of that without oxygen, yet came to after just a few punches in the chest?
Oh, and they're going to take bugs back to earth that resemble robots and, though they supposedly feed on algae and produce oxygen, it sure looked to me like they also feed on blood! Even Gallagher admits 'they eat everything.' Sure, so let's take a few to earth.
My favorite character was Chantilas. They killed him off far too early. Why did they get rid of the interesting character and leave the ones you don't know much about and don't care anything about at all? Good sci-fi, as Star Trek showed <g>, should always save the main characters and kill off the extras!
This, along with Mission to Mars, make two very boring Sci-Fi attempts in a year. <yawn>
