I love Muppets Treasure Island and Muppets Christmas Carol, mainly because I love Tim Curry, and Michael Caine was amazing as Scrooge, and I have always loved the Muppet Movie and Muppets Take Manhatton. In fact the only Muppet movie I don't really like is Muppets Wizard of Oz. Muppets From Space, while not as good as the older Muppet movies, is certainly enjoyable. One thing I didn't particularly like though was the soundtrack, a bit too 1970s style, and because of this, I was never too sure what time period the film was supposed to be. The plot of the film is very original, though you would assume the Muppets went to space without having read the plot line, and the jokes are funny, if less inspired than something from the Muppet Movie. It isn't quite true to the style of the older Muppet movies, but the film does try to and almost succeeds. The story focuses on Gonzo, and his story was very heartwarming. Any scene with Miss Piggy who I love is priceless, and Jeffrey Tambor makes the most of his role as Ed, the paranoid operative. I also liked the contributions from F.Murray Abraham, Andie McDowell, The Sweedish Chef and The Bear Sidekick.Nice also to see Kermit, Rizzo and Fozzie, not to mention Sam the Eagle, in short all your favourite Muppets, though the best scene is the beginning, not to mention the sandwich scene. Overall, enjoyable, not their best, but I do like it. 7/10 Bethany Cox.

What a great, light-hearted, funny movie. There haven't been too many movies that i have found really fun to watch from beginning to end but this is one of them. Rizzo has taken a step out from behind the big stars and emerged as a key component in the muppet team. Though it may not be as good as some of the earlier stuff, i loved it. I mean you can't compare individual movies in a series. Which Star Wars was the best, (the original) which Godfather was the best (the original) which of the Duke cousins were best (Bo and Luke), which James Bond was the best (Connerey) etc. If you're gonna watch this movie watch it as an individual film and don't weigh it compared to the others. Enjoy it for what it is, a great movie.
Good special-effects, funny and likable characters and an interesting story all made this 1999 'Muppets In Space' movie much better than I anticipated.
This one featured more of Gonzo and Rizzo, my two favorite characters. The movie, in fact, centers around Gonzo. Miss Piggy played a lesser role than normal, which also pleased me.
A tiny bit too secular-liberal in parts but overall, not offensive and definitely entertaining. It looks great and sounds good on DVD, too.
Some have said this was the best of the Muppet films and perhaps that's true. I wouldn't argue.

You know when you make a meal and it just tastes like it's missing something? That's Muppets from Space. The ingredients all seem to be there, but it's not as enjoyable as the other Muppet productions. It's missing original songs, which may be part of it-the 70s funk music didn't seem to fit--and Gonzo's identity crisis kind of took the fun out of his character. My kids enjoyed it enough, but I don't think I'll add this movie to my Muppet collection.
