2001: A Space Travesty

Kwento

Here's the plot summary: In this comedy spoof of Stanley Kubrick's classic sci-fi film "2001: A Space Odyssey," Dr. Laurence Layton, a clumsy and eccentric astronomer, stumbles upon a mysterious signal from the moon while trying to find his lost cat. As he investigates further, he discovers that the President of the United States is being held captive on a secret international moon base called Vegan. As Layton delves deeper into the mystery, he meets a cast of wacky characters, including a dim-witted astronaut named Jack Parlett, a beautiful but airheaded female scientist named Lisa, and a sinister villainous figure known only as "The President's Kidnapper." Through his investigation, Layton uncovers a plot by a group of aliens to hold the President hostage in exchange for Earth's most valuable resources. The aliens, who are depicted as comically inept and bumbling, are trying to negotiate with the President, but their efforts are constantly thwarted by Layton and Parlett. As the story unfolds, Layton and Parlett find themselves on a wild adventure through space, navigating zero-gravity environments, dodging laser beams, and encountering a range of bizarre creatures. Along the way, they encounter various obstacles, including malfunctioning spacecraft, bumbling government agents, and even a cameo appearance by a certain iconic sci-fi character. Throughout the film, director Peter Bogdanovich pays homage to classic science fiction films while also poking fun at their conventions. The result is a wacky, entertaining romp that spoofs the genre while still managing to deliver some genuinely amusing moments. Overall, "2001: A Space Travesty" is a lighthearted, humorous take on the sci-fi genre that will appeal to fans of comedy and science fiction alike.

★5.1

A sci-fi parody that boldly goes where few have gone before, "2001: A Space Travesty" is a hilarious spoof of the classic "2001: A Space Odyssey." With a ridiculous plot, over-the-top characters, and a healthy dose of silliness, this film is a comedic gem that pokes fun at the conventions of science fiction. Leslie Nielsen shines as the bumbling president, bringing his signature deadpan humor to the role. While the film may not be a masterpiece, it's a fun and entertaining ride that's sure to leave viewers laughing.
