MOVIE REVIEW : ‘Mutant on Bounty’ Abandons Good Sense

“Mutant on the Bounty” (at the AMC Century 14) is too amusingly schlocky a title to waste on such a hopelessly inane and pointless space comedy.

While on some sort of research mission, a spaceship crew encounters a saxophone player whose face is a mess after floating 23 years in space--he’s the benign mutant of the piece. Later on, the crew is menaced by a goofy pair of space bandits who have in their possession a deadly virus. Only performance artist John Fleck, who tries hard to be funny as a campy android, is worthy of mention in the entire amateurish enterprise.

Because the AMC Century 14 is perversely screening a trailer of “Mutant on the Bounty” (Times-rated Mature for crude language) immediately preceding its presentation, you can’t say you haven’t been warned.
