@bijouxbroussard It was good, but it was not the kind of movie that really needs a large screen to be appreciated.
I do think it was written in a very clever way. On the one hand, it was not a rehash of the TV show. On the other hand, it touched base with the TV show just enough to satisfy the "nostalgia" motivation for going to see it.
One thing I wondered about as I walked in was, "What are they going to do about the famous shoe phone in this day and age?" In the movie, everyone is using cell phones. The shoe phone is in the Control Museum. But....it ends up playing a crucial role!
And Alan Arkin (as the Chief) was hysterical, as Max is constantly on the verge of giving him a complete nervous breakdown!
