The Cremators (1972)
I have a high tolerance for boring, schlocky monster movies, but this one was so dull and empty it was actually just bad.

Yeah, Starfighters is certainly up there. I remember in the MST3K Colossal Episode Guide, Frank Conniff said that people would come up to him and ask why they even did that movie to begin with. It's so dry and repetitive.
There are certain MST3K/Rifftrax movies that sound bonkers on paper, but are just a drag to sit through. I remember somebody on this forum explained how batshit the narrative of Curse of Bigfoot is (it's essentially a lousy student film short followed by a framing device that allows them to repackage an old mummy movie), but it's not even entertaining to sit through. Similarly, I recently watched Astro-Zombies and despite it being about John Carradine as a mad scientist creating cyborg zombies that go around strangling women, with both government agents and a spy syndicate investigating it, it really feels like nothing happens throughout. The scenes of Carradine and his greasy Igor doing mundane science stuff seems to go on for 15 minutes at a time.
Monster a Go-Go is certainly a movie that is just too awful to sit through despite having the most ridiculous non-ending.
That was also a big disappointment for me. It's a legendary bad movie! Starring Tura Santana! Tom "Icky Elf" Pace! Wendell Corey is literally dying as they filmed it! But the movie is mostly cars parking, the mundane science stuff you mentioned, and a nightclub.
I should have just watched Frankenstein Meets the Space Monster again.
