I LOVED the sixties series, but by 1989 all the actors had aged (how does a robot get cheek jowls?), and 99's hairstyle, while it suits her aging appearance, emphasises that she is just another housewife. Sadly, had Edward Platt lived, he would have been like the Admiral.
Don Adams' sunburn-ravaged skin, overdone blepharoplasty and too-high toupee are like a car crash that you spend 75% of the movie looking at, trying to ignore but failing miserably. BUT MOST OF ALL the lack of cigarette props (which gave him a sophisticated air, as well as the opportunity for more gags), lack of tight scene-framing with electric guitar scoring, NO canned laughter, and a plot not even as strong as that of The Nude Bomb, just make this movie another typical not-great 80s sitcom. Should have left well enough alone.
