"To prevent war, the Galaxy is on Orion's belt."

Rating: 7/10 (5 June 2018)

A little late to the party here, but I've finally gotten around to the picture after a couple of decades. It was actually a pretty fun ride with Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith as a pair of unlikely alien bug hunters. I probably would have preferred something a little more on the serious side a la the 'X-Files' but what the heck, there are plenty of those episodes to go around. I'm glad the writers threw in some good old fashioned sci-fi gobbledygook; I mean really, what's a story about aliens without a good dose of reverberating carbonizers with mutate capacity, or a Lemsat Four with proton induction thermoscan. The actual aliens were a little over the top making parts of the story cartoonish looking, but it was pretty well balanced by the thorough investigative work of those MiB, 'K' (Jones) and 'J' (Smith). I also got a kick out of Linda Fiorentino's take on Laurel Weaver, the Deputy Medical Examiner. I've only seen her in this film and "Dogma", and if you didn't know any better, she was playing the same character in both pictures.
