Ever wonder what’s missing from your Mystery Science Theater 3000 collection? How about being able to see Crow T. Robot in high definition video? Don’t fret too much because Mystery Science Theater 3000 The Movie is arriving on Blu-ray on September 3. While the normal series was shot on standard definition, the folks in Deep 13 sprung for 35mm which is why you can upgrade The Movie from your clunky old DVD. Although if you don’t have the standard definition version on DVD, it is provided with the Blu-ray. Thrill to the sight of the Satellite of Love in 1080p. Here’s the press release from Shout! Factory.

Mystery Science Theater 3000 The Movie
The Fan Favorite Feature Film Makes its Blu-ray Debut September 3rd, 2013 from Shout! Factory
After six seasons of sublime, nerdy fun on television, the cult comedy series Mystery Science Theater 3000 took to the big screen in 1996 for its deliriously funny takedown of the 1955 alien invasion epic This Island Earth. On September 3rd, 2013 the fan favorite feature film makes its Blu-ray debut in a collector’s edition Blu-ray and DVD combo pack– loaded with extras including a reversible cover wrap with all new art–from Shout! Factory. Fans can pre-order their copy by visiting https://www.shoutfactory.com/node/217794
Evil scientist Dr. Clayton Forrester explains the premise at the start: in his quest for world domination, he devises a scheme to subject the human race to the worst movies ever made. He tests his plan on Mike Nelson, the sole human aboard an Earth-orbiting space station known as the Satellite of Love. But our hero and his two robot sidekicks turn a lemon into a much funnier lemon by showering This Island Earth with wisecracks, ridicule and general silliness. The human race may never be rid of cheesy movies, but when the critics are this nutty, who cares?
