I'm going to see this because it's stupid.

Pretty sure that’s the whole idea

What do you mean. I for one are expecting high art.

This idea that something stupid or something genre related can't be art is something I deeply disagree with. This movie will still have a story at its core. It will have themes and characters and potentially even social or political commentary. Whether or not those elements of the film are successful are subjective of course, but to me those elements and the attempt are worthy of critical consideration.

Art isn't about technical components or medium or genre or anything else like that. Art is about emotion. If it makes you react, and feel something, it's art. It needs some abstract element, something that is intended to be interpreted that has no functional goal separate from you the observer, but so long as it has that, and it makes you feel something, it's art.
If it's universally reviled, and that wasn't the intention, you could call it "bad art". But art nonetheless.
That said, "high art" is a little different. At minimum, it requires a high degree of abstraction. Lots of room for, and an ability to instigate, interpretation.

It's not as stupid as it ought to be.
It somehow doesn't have the follow through or gusto to be a proper trashy B-movie. Plus as an 80s pastiche/homage it's pretty weak.
