Back in 2002, Jhonen Vasquez’s dark sci-fi comedy Invader Zim was cancelled just 27 episodes into its run. And yet, over the past (almost) two decades, its cultural status has ballooned into something comparable to many other beloved Nicktoons with much longer lives, like Rugrats, Hey Arnold!, Spongebob Squarepants, and Rocko’s Modern Life (which got its own terrific revival special just last week). In 2019, a property cancelled too soon is ripe for revival.
Enter the Florpus is largely akin to what Serenity did with Firefly, taking the basic crux of its sci-fi story and hurrying it along to what feels like the ultimate climax, stuffed with lots of action and big character moments. At times, that makes for an immensely fun watch, but like Joss Whedon’s big-screen conclusion to his own cult classic, it moves a little too hastily for how much it tries to cram in. Naturally, it likely would have been more satisfying had the plot of this 71-minute movie played out over the course of a season of television.
