Emmanuelle in Space

I just have to comment on this movie because I gave it a 4 rating, and in my opinion that's pretty high for a softporn smut movie. The actual plot is kind of hokey (who would expect otherwise) but Hafron is so incredibly funny, and he delivers everything in a cyborgish voice so it's easy for him. Whoever wrote the script had some wit definitely! I must have laughed out loud ten times, and that's not a reason anyone would pick up this movie. The only softporn movie I've seen which had any merit other than beautiful women (and believe me, Emmanuelle is drop dead gorgeous...just look at the cover!)

Any movie that can entertain me considering how poor the plot was and how bad the acting is, also considering the movie wasn't made to artistically entertain, so to speak, it gets at least a four in my book. I mean, who wouldn't watch this before Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot?

This little softporn flick seems to have a lot going for it: especially, it has (unsurprisingly) a visibly bigger budget and consequently better production values than contemporary hard porn, and contrary to most straight-to-video erotic thrillers it spares us any connections of sex with violence.

However, this alone does not make a good movie. The production values only slightly exceed Ed Wood territory (I noticed a plastic chicken on a dining table), and the cinematography is at best irritating as the camera constantly circles around the couples making love. The couplings lack a bit of imagination and the leads lack charisma and screen presence.

In Europe they made lots of films of this ilk in the 1970s, but this one is not up to their standard.

Yes, Krista Allen is something else. Just gorgeous and with acting talent too. I checked and she does have very tiny, almost walk on parts, in two mainstream movies, "Liar Liar" and "Raven" according to her filmography. Surely her beauty and talent have been recognized. I suppose playing in these soft core films precludes her from being accepted mainstream. Too bad, although she might make enough off of these to do OK.

Very low level softporn, although Krista Allen is hot. The erotic scenes are brief and hasty, poorly made. Also, irritating shots of a spaceship control panel manned by wierd operators, frequently interrupt the already patchy erotic scenes. What is the point of this????

Emanuelle, Queen of the Galaxy was a soft core series that ran on Cinemax several years ago.

Altho it had good looking girls baring all, and frequently, the acting was pretty stilted, and the effects often, of course, just silly.

There are many of these soft core series that are better, namely Bedtime Stories, Thrills, Pleasure Zone, and Beverly Hill Bordello.

If you just have to have a bit of sci fi with your soft core, I guess you could stand this. Of course, its not that likely to be rerun at this point, and I wouldn't go out of may way to pay for DVDs if that is ever an option.
