Very well executed

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Hard to imagine a worse movie in any one of the three genres in which it's classified. It fails on all three levels, as a comedy, a fantasy, and as a musical. As a fantasy it is a juvenile attempt to depict martians as primitive jungle types and with no atmospheric difference from earth. The worst musical number in the picture takes place in this setting. As a musical, the first two songs were not too bad but needed better arrangements as they fall somewhat flat. But "The Drinking Song" was god-awful. As a comedian, El Brendel wins the Hand-Painted Mustache Cup as the worst movie comedian ... ever. And "Just Imagine" is not his first offense.A truly terrible movie, and the only valid reason to see it is to prove to yourself that even great Hollywood minds can come up with a lemon. But we already knew that. (Capitolfest, Rome, N.Y., 8/16)

This passes as a science fiction futurist musical. Made in 1930, we are propelled into the future, to 1980. Everyone has a number instead of a name and the government has taken over everything, including who can marry whom. The four principle characters are a pack of idiots. Their musical numbers are from the 1930's, as are their styles. A little imagination could be in order when you consider the title. One guy decides to go to Mars to impress a judge so he can marry his ding dong girlfriend. It was brutal trying to get through this. Wait till you see what Mars is like. I know their efforts were novel, but I can't tell anyone to bother with this.

I was at the screening at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica. Yes the 35mm print was bad, most likely from the print that it was copied from.The negative is long gone I believe. Most annoying was the buzzing sound track in several reels. Picture for the most part seemed sharp though.Aside from the interesting production design of the futuristic sets,the film was a bore. Endless songs that came and went. One song was about the romance of two house flies !!! Whaaaat !Incredibly bad dialog and really bad acting. No threat to Metropolis. Am I the only one that had this reaction?

This is positively, without a trace of doubt, the most ridiculous bad movie I've ever seen! It's so bad it's physically painful to watch it! I got a copy only to see Marjorie White, and she only plays a secondary to Maureen O'Sullivan, but that's irrelevant. The storyline makes no sense whatsoever, scientists wake up a guy who's been dead 50 years, they don't explain why, Two guys & a stowaway flying a rocket to Mars, again no explanation why, when they arrive, they're greeted by a chorus line of dancing monkeys, COME ON!! They return in time for the lead guy to get married, but El Brendel brings back the Martian hulk to show in the courtroom they've been there, that's why they're late, then takes the guy down by pinching his ear, all live happily ever after.COME ON!! Even in 1930, with a 1930 mentality & view of the future, it's not 1980, it's still 1930. It's just plain STUPID! I read somewhere this film played 3 days at a theater in Milwaukee before shutting down, the movie patrons virtually all demanding their money back for this lousy, cheesy, silly dumb film! Even the few lines of alleged "comic relief" ("We're going to Mars"! "Take me with you, I'd love to meet your mother"!) El Brendel's pathetic imitation Swede isn't even Vaudeville funny, just lame & dumb! Forget this one, it can't even be classed as "so bad it's good", it doesn't even fit that category! Even Perky Marjorie White, with all her spunk, gets to play a silly, ditzy girl with no substance to her character at all. The people responsible for garbage like this had to go home at the end of the day to their family & neighbors, how could they possibly not be ashamed to show their faces in public? What a travesty to call this thing a "motion picture"! If there's a top 10 list, there should be a BOTTOM 100 list, this one would be -100!
