Galaxy 5000 good or bad?

Can anyone tell me what the Galaxy 5000 movie is all about, and whether it's good or bad?

Art is my passion.
The Galaxy 5000 is a direct to video movie about Chuck and the rest of the gang (Jasper, Helen, Munch, and Pasqually, who is the only one not in a suit, but instead a real human) saving up to buy a tractor for a kid named Charlie's grandparents.To do so, they race in an interplanetary race called the Galaxy 5000. It's a little on the cheesy side, I didn't like it that much. Fun fact, it was made by FUNimation.

What I love the most about this movie is that Munch is voiced by Vegeta here. :P But Galaxy 5000 definitely falls more into the "So bad, it's good" category. Granted, it's faaaaaaar from the worst thing ever made, but it's still not very good.

Bad. I watched it on Youtube. Sorry, but if you ignore the fact that it has Chuck E. Cheese in it there is nothing really interesting about it.

I must preface this by saying I enjoyed the heck out of the movie as a kid and still find nostalgic value in it now, despite how poorly it's written and executed. That said, here are a few small negative points:


  • If Helen's your favorite character and you wanted to see her working/interacting with the guys, too bad! She's on her own for a lot of the movie. Pasqually and Munch barely contribute to the plot and Pasqually is only in the beginning of the movie.

  • I personally dislike how they wrote a little bit of fluff for Chuck and Helen and then slam dunked it into the trash can for the Astrid plot. They could've just had Helen be that supporting character instead and Chuck and Helen's relationship could've strengthened and progressed. Heck, she could've gotten really stressed after his first encounter with Dead Man's Canyon during the qualifiers and they could've started arguing, Helen could've gotten even more stressed, and stormed off. She could've then started investigating the X racers or she could've disappeared to do that during the races after noticing something being amiss. There was no need at all for 'revenge boyfriending' or any of that silly junk-drama we ended up with.

  • Some folks don't care for some or all of the songs. I personally like them. ^_^


And those are my biggest gripes. I could nitpick about 99% of this movie but I won't. I think that toycollector's pretty on the money though about the movie. At day's end if you removed Chuck E. and the band, if you remove the songs, you have nothing but a horridly bland film.

Hmm..I like it. I find it entertaining, but it is on the level of kids show, so expect some cheesiness to it (no pun intended). And yes, Funimation did work on this right before they realized thanks to their first project, Dragonball Z, that going into the anime business was better than being in kids entertainment business for them. As a matter of fact, Christopher Sabat who voices Vegeta in DBZ voices Mr. Munch in this film.

Wether you find one in a church, or a pizza a parlor, a rat is still a rat..
To make it quick, no, this movie really isn't very good, but it's so stupid it's laughable like Birdemic.
The CG is really cheap looking and stupid.
This is the kind of movie I can only see a small child who's into Chuck e cheese get any legitimate enjoyment out of that isn't laughing at it's stupidity.
And yeah the costumes and heads only add to the cheesines.
But this movie is the kind of thing you wouldn't want a famous online critic to review just because you really don't want to see them bash on the guys so much..
Basically unless you're looking for a good stupid laugh I wouldn't really reccomend it.

I've have now seen the movie, and to tell you the truth it was "ehhhhh, not so good, but it could've been better".

Whats bizarre is that most of the time the characters have animatronic heads but in some scenes they used the mascot heads for no reason

Also some of the dialogues weren't good, like Pasqually said he raced in the galaxy 5000 5 times while flapjack said he raced 3 times, or when that woman said "what do you mean you can't find chuck e" and jasper incorrectly responds "I'm afraid not".

I think its unnecessary for Helen to get OVERLY dramatic in some parts like when jasper mentions getting a job at "The Chicken Palace". (BTW don't they already have a job at CEC?)

I also think its weird to mention munch's smelly shoes as a running gag in the movie

As much as I like musicals, I just don't think its a good idea to instantly break into a song out of nowhere.

Last, I was hoping for two things after they won the race, Chuck E would "break the 4th wall" and mention that its not just his gang and charlie rocket that helped him believe but also us viewers who are watching the video helped him believe too, and that we would see em head back home to celebrate their victory

But there's one line from the movie that I liked, said by Jasper, "How come Common Sense gets thrown out the window every time he (Chuck E) sings a song? Oh Brother"

I would love a CEC parody of Mystery Science Theater 3000, and see the characters themselves watching their only movie and comically pointing out the bad and weird stuff
