Far from their best
First of all, let me tell you that I'm a huge stooge fan. I consider them one of the most underrated teams in comedy history, only supported by a huge fan base but not for the critics. The stooges are much more than Moe hitting the others or flying pies. But sadly, the last years of his glorious legacy are far from the rambocious, lunatic and uproarious days with Jerome "Curly" Howard or even with Shemp. And this movie is a clear example. Slow paced humor and only a few good jokes aren't enough for sustain a 90 minutes film. The old stooges try to do their best, but even the scrip doesn't help. The martians are fun to watch, Emil Sitka was always a good companion for the boys, but the overall feel is bittersweet. I prefer them in their legendary Columbia shorts, the kind of stuff that influenced Seinfield's trio Jerry, George and Kramer, and many many others.
It's A Happy Memory For Alot of Baby Boomers
Sure, I know this film is not a great comedy, or even a good one. But for alot of us aging boomers this film is a sweet memory. It recalls a more innocent time in movies, and an appreciation for the Stooges in their autumnal years. And what's wrong with dancing Martians?
Aw Come On, This is Fun!
Don't you dare take this serious. Our Boys are up to the usual nonsense that can lead to nothing but mayhem. They have been doing it the same for about 35 years by this time.
Sure they are in their 60's, except the 'kid', Curly Joe. Nothing they do makes sense and any normal person would walk away from the Flying Submarine.
They do some genuine funny bits, some older than The Stooges themselves and many around from their Vaudeville days. But they hit the mark and are very funny.
Relax and Enjoy this idiotic mindless comedy. "I don't think, I know it is funny". Get it? Did you catch that joke?
Stooges vs. Aliens
I enjoyed watching this movie and is more entertaining than Have a Rocket We Travel. The story itself has too many going on like the Stooges helping the scientist build his machine, while he have a way to help their business, and there also aliens who does generic stuff in the movie. I found each of the plot to be connect with each others, but the one with the Stooges show is the reason why they decide to help the scientist. The comedy is a hit or miss with a couple of funny moments from the Stooges and the gags that you see throughout the movie. I found Professor Danforth to be a interesting character with his weird machine and how he helps them with their business. He also has a daughter who has nothing to do with the plot and I forgot that she exist. As for the alien plotline, it your standard stuff with them decide on what they going to them and the motive is generic. Also, don't expect good makeup effects in this movie because the aliens looks pretty bad and their design is weird. I found the movie entertaining with them driving that submarine and going on a rampage, and the climax itself is pretty entertaining.
The Three Stooges in Orbit is a fun movie that I enjoyed watching despite it flaws.

Did you know
- TriviaProfessor Danforth's cartoon machine was based on a real technique being developed by producer Norman Maurer. It involved filming live action actors in special high contrast makeup and costumes and using special processing techniques to create cartoon like images without the expensive labor intensive hand drawn process. The process never succeeded and the animated footage, and the Three Stooges cartoon series were created using traditional techniques.
