It’s a movie split in two: wildly accomplished on one level, wildly deficient on another.
— Michael Wilmington, Los Angeles Times

105 minutes. Rated PG. Directed by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel. In English.

Brooklyn plumbers Mario and Luigi get the shock of their lives when they discover a parallel world populated by the intelligent descendants of dinosaurs. It seems they weren't destroyed by a meteor millions of years ago but hurled into another dimension and, now, they have plans to rule our world. It's up to our unlikely heroes to battle the evil King Koopa and his Goomba guards, free the beautiful Princess Daisy and save mankind in this adventure of a lifetime.

“System Reboot,” a free summer film series presented with SPACE Gallery and Friends of Congress Square Park, examines the cinematic source material of film franchises that have persisted or have been reinvented from the 1980s through 2023, when new installments await the masses. This screening is co-presented with Arcadia.
