Pleasurecraft

I've seen this movie three times, and every time I've seen it....it leaves me scratching my head.

You see, a ship full of sex starved space dudes (and one android) pick up these three gorgeous women who are being shipped as "cargo" to another planet to squash a potential war.

For those of you who stopped after the word "women", that's where the movie should have stopped also. Unfortunately, it spends most of the 90-odd minutes elaborating on the stuff after "women".

There's way too much "technical" dialogue for this to be a true skin flick; sure, the women are hot and yes, the crew all gets their turn with them (excluding the android, who seemingly has no feeling toward them), case in point:

Hot space babe kisses the android guy.

Hot babe: Hmm, that's strange. Most men desire our kisses. Android guy: Like I said, I'm not like most men.

Hmph.

Did I mention Taimie Hannum is in this?? Well, now I did.

I was hoping for Dinosaur Island in Outer Space, but instead I'm left with....Beach Babes From Beyond. It's hard to say whether "Pleasurecraft" wants to be a "Star Trek" parody or a down-and-dirty, late-night softcore skin flick. There's a cameo appearance by the ever-so-curvy Shayna Ryan in one of the captains dream sequences....great stuff there. Other than that, try to tune out the space jargon and concentrate on the acres of naked flesh you're gonna see.

Interesting to note that the reviewers have commented at some length on the beauty of the actresses involved . Yes they certainly are attractive but even in soft core terms ( And we`re speaking very soft core here ) the acting is very wooden . Not only that but it features probably the most unconvincing love making scenes I`ve ever seen in these type of films , or indeed any type of film. Compare the sex scenes seen here with those seen in RITA SUE AND BOB TOO or BASIC INSTINCT and tell me what`s the more convincing sex scene

This may be too sci-fi for some, but if you both like that kind of stuff and are looking for some skin also, well, this works. The girls look lovely for the most part, except that Taimie Hannum has an odd mouth that makes her look like she's snarling, and Amber Newman's make-up simply makes her eyes look weird, alien I suppose. Brandy Davis is perfectly cute, though. Environment is important to me, and outer space is exotic enough (as is California). Lastly something needs to be said about the guys. As a straight woman, I'm quite happy with the casting of Juan Carlos as the captain. Indeed, a guy who can control himself and hold out until the end for the best woman, and still be the hottest guy in the movie, certainly blows my mind; and his acting is good considering the type of movie this is. Better than average softcore movie overall.

Lots of talking and few sex scenes, which are quick and weak.

Spatial Pleasure is another example of spatial softcore. These films are usually very good, but I found this one to be just average. There are not as many sex scenes as in its counterparts, but the scenes are full of eroticism and voyeurism. The blah-blah-blah of astronauts perhaps takes up too much time that could be used more creatively.

My rating was based on the nude scenes, but if I were based on the story I would give it one star, very vague and boring.

All films of this genre that watch alien planets are similar to planet Earth.

But in general, if you don't have the option, watch it, preferably with someone.

Good movie to you!!!!!

Why are there people trying to philosophize this movie? Talking about it like it's a real science fiction movie. The dialogue is terrible, the acting is terrible, the f/x are terrible, the story is almost nonexistent. But why go searching for those elements in a softcore porn flick? Because that's what this movie is! When you have beautiful naked women in virtually every scene, do we need much more? If this were a mainstream film, like "Showgirls," I would be concerned if the nudity outweighed all the other elements. But this is a direct-to-video sci-fi porno meant to give pleasure to the male gender--and the females too, if they swing that way. So why is there a user rating of 3.3? Are there feminists commenting on this movie?

The film stars Amber Newman and Taimie Hannum, two of the hottest women of Surrender Cinema. And I liked the blonde one, too. She's also really hot. There are many steamy sex scenes, some straight, some women-on-women, that definitely make this movie worth the rental price.

If you're looking for a film with substance and a story--you're in the wrong section of the video store. At least it's supposed to be put in the adult section. Some video stores put this movie in the sci-fi section.

My score: 8 (out of 10)
