Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Best for comic book readers and fans of stories set among the stars. Comic-book roots, so expect big stakes and bigger set pieces. Fans of Superman or Spider-Man 2 should feel right at home. Much of it plays out in space, so the scale is part of the thrill.
The mood
Easygoing.
The pace
Well paced, at 1 hr 15 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1938: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.

Feature version of the 1938 film serial FLASH GORDON'S TRIP TO MARS. Flash Gordon fights Ming the Merciless once again to ensure the survival of the Earth.
