A brightly colored mash-up of pop-culture gags that speeds at you so fast and furiously that it feels like a rush even if you can’t remember much about it the next day. This sensation is heightened by the fact that the film’s high-concept melding of ’50s horror/sci-fi kitsch and ’60s government paranoia slapstick (which gives the adults in the audiences self-knowing chuckles and provides plenty of eye candy for the little ones) is presented in a new 3-D format that DreamWorks honcho Jeffrey Katzenberg has been touting as the future of cinema. And, while it packs plenty of visual punch, it is perhaps so enthralled with its own gimmickry that it comes up short in most other departments. (Starplex 16, Waco, TX)
