Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Robot Vs. The Aztec Mummy is a sci-fi comedy film that was released in 1989. The movie is directed by Jim Mallon and stars Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, and J. Elvis Weinstein. It is the third episode of the second season of Mystery Science Theater 3000, a television show that is known for its sarcastic and humorous commentary on B-movies and cult films.

The story follows a group of scientists who want to uncover the secrets of an ancient Aztec tomb. They soon discover that the tomb is guarded by a mummy that is protected by powerful mystic forces. The scientists bring the mummy to their lab and try to use it to develop a new power source. However, they soon realize that the mummy is alive and dangerous.

Meanwhile, a mad scientist named Dr. Forrester has trapped a man named Joel Robinson on a spaceship and forces him to watch bad movies as an experiment. Joel and his robot friends, Tom Servo and Crow T. Robot, are forced to watch The Robot Vs. The Aztec Mummy and make fun of it. The movie alternates between scenes of the scientists and the mummy and scenes of Joel and his robots.

The Robot Vs. The Aztec Mummy is a classic example of a low-budget B-movie. The special effects are cheesy and the acting is often over-the-top. The script is filled with cliches and plot holes, leaving plenty of opportunities for the characters to riff on the ridiculousness of it all. Joel, Tom Servo, and Crow T. Robot provide plenty of witty one-liners and sarcastic commentary throughout the movie.

One of the highlights of the film is the performance of Trace Beaulieu as Dr. Forrester and the voice of Crow T. Robot. Beaulieu is able to switch between the two roles seamlessly, and his comedic timing is impeccable. J. Elvis Weinstein is also great as the voice of Tom Servo, providing plenty of quirky jokes and random observations.

The movie is not without its flaws, however. The pacing can be slow at times, and some of the jokes feel forced. The plot is also pretty thin, which can make it difficult to stay engaged with the story. However, these issues are outweighed by the sheer hilarity of the film.

Overall, Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Robot Vs. The Aztec Mummy is a must-see for fans of B-movies and cult films. It is a hilarious and entertaining film that will leave you laughing out loud. Joel Hodgson, Trace Beaulieu, and J. Elvis Weinstein deliver outstanding performances, making the movie a true gem of the cult comedy genre. If you're looking for a good time and some witty commentary on a cheesy movie, then this is the film for you.

Mystery Science Theater 3000: The Robot Vs. The Aztec Mummy is a 1989 science fiction movie with a runtime of 1 hour and 38 minutes. It has received moderate reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 6.4.
