This is a movie with a planet-sized laboratory fabricated from flesh and held collectively by bone, the place knowledge is saved in capsules coated in pus, and a non-public safety pressure led by Nathan Fillion wears hideous Power Rangers-esque physique armor that appears like exhausting musculature. It’s a movie the place a Russian cosmonaut golden retriever has telekinesis, and a household of humanoid vampire bats serve the heroes blue soda in an in any other case picturesque Norman Rockwell-ass home. In different phrases, it’s a movie crammed with real creativeness, with actual and odd units and costumes and make-up, with gross-out visible humor and greater than a bit of horror.
