I see that the movie I've watched twice under the name The Atomic Brain is actually known as Monstrosity. Monstrosity, huh? Well, it fits. I can't think of a more appropriate name for this dog of a movie than Monstrosity. When it comes to bad movies, this one is scrapping the bottom of the barrel. Everything about it is just so Gawd awful. I could run down the list (production values, acting, lighting, etc.) but there's really no point. Name any aspect of movie making and The Atomic Brain (or Monstrosity if you prefer) fails miserably at it. In short, this is truly one of the five or so worst movies I've ever seen.Many of the reviews on IMDb call The Atomic Brain a "good" bad movie. I'm as big a fan of bad movies as anyone, but this one doesn't work for me. The bad movies I enjoy are at least fun. This one is too dour for me to have any fun with.
As I noted, this is the second time I've seen The Atomic Brain. Fortunately for me, I watched the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version this time around. And while it made the experience much more palatable, it's not one of the better MST3K episodes I've seen. The movie is so bad it puts a damper on the comedy. But I'll be generous and give it a 3/5 on my MST3K rating scale – a whishy-washy average rating.
1/10
