Part of the problem with this series now is that the freshness of the concept is long gone. Pulling back the curtain and showing how further integrated aliens are into our world isn’t fresh anymore. Gags like Andy Warhol work mostly because of the casting rather than the gag itself. The casting is interesting - there’s a spot on Josh Brolin doing a young Tommie Lee Jones, but despite how much I LOVE Emma Thompson, is Alice Eve REALLY the best representation of her at a young age. For his credit I didn’t even recognize Jermaine Clement as Boris the Animal.
I think if you can over look the logic issues with the time travelling it’s a fun film, and way way way better than the second instalment. That said, had it not for being on Netflix, I doubt I would have ever put any effort into checking it out. Enjoyable enough!
