Space Babes from Outer Space

I don't know what the 10 star reviewers are smoking, but I want some. If you want an honest indicator of how good this film is: look at the trailer. The "Space Babes" spaceship is made of cardboard and the control console is literally covered in tin foil. Look, this film came out in 2017, not 1966. There is no reason whatsoever to make a film as poor as this. To even call it a "film" besmirches the more respectable, talented artists who work tirelessly to create cinematic masterpieces. Space Babes is so bad that it doesn't even deserve a Razzie. Last year's Razzie winner compared to this would be an Oscar contender. Truly one of the worst things I have ever seen in my life. It has no redeeming value whatsoever.

I implore you: don't waste your time. Watching paint dry is far more entertaining than this garbage.

You can't help but think that with a cast of A-List celebrities or a well-known director such as Steven Speilberg this film would be nominated for an Academy Award. The storyline was a solid original plot where three young ladies from a planet of all women find themselves trapped on Earth seeking a unique form of energy to fuel their space vessel. It isn't a solid Sci-Fi for many fans, but it is a rather remarkable love story in the vein opf 2017's 'The Space Between Us'. Ellie Church, Allison Maier, and Alyss Winkler carried this film. Respectfully I haven't seen this kind of talent from strong female role models since the 2002 film 'Chicago'. Ellie Church & Brian Papandrea (as Charlie) brought an on screen chemistry for the love story that I haven't seen since the 1950 French film 'Un Chant d'Amour'. Powerful heart touching drama. I genuinely felt the love between this duo.

I only had two criticisms regarding 'Space Babes From Outer Space'; Although this movie was marginally female driven, my first criticism has to be the lack of racial diversity. I could easily imagine someone like Yaya Alafia or Lupita Nyong'o being part of this undertaking. My last criticism would be the character of 'Carrieola' was under-used in several scenes that required nudity. I understand for some that on screen nude scenes can often be a career ender, but in situations where the female body is part of an expressive nature ('The Wrestler" 2008) rather than a gratuity of flesh ('Nymphomaniac' 2013) it is simply necessary. The ending itself (which I won't spoil for anyone) is quite a twist. It was reminiscent of M. Night Shyamalan staple of movie twists that I recall from 'The Sixth Sence' - I literally did not see it coming.

Recognizably this film is not for everyone. It came to life as a Kickstarter campaign and is an easy target for trolls who like to hate on matriarchal ideologies. While it is humorous at times, it is not as funny as ( say) the science fiction classic 'Space Balls'. It is a relatively fresh take on modern society that is suppressive of an opposition through censorship - for example those who might refuse Netflix movies to be nominated for prestigious film awards. I found this film to be entertaining, although for full disclosure I watched it for free, and I suspect the majority of viewers would appreciate the same. More bluntly; do not pay for this movie if you can see it in gratis.

I enjoyed the movie. I must admit that I am a sucker for B movies regardless of year. It was funny, fun and a decent story. The direction was great, nice shots all around unlike many B style movies this generation. Practical effects are a go to in my book. Very little CGI and I love that. The acting was better than most and there was beautiful women dancing. The only thing missing was full nudity. If you are going to make a real B movie, you need to be showing it all to get that rating up.

Space Babes from Outer Space (2017)

*** (out of 4)

Three space babes (led by Ellie Church) come to Earth but discover they need sexual energy to get their ship enough power to get back home. They meet a man named Charlie (Brian Papandrea) who is going to show them what sexuality on Earth means.

SPACE BABES FROM OUTER SPACE is a low-budget science fiction film that, as the title suggests, goes for softcore sex and a lot of nudity. This film was financed thanks to a very successful Kickstarter campaign and I must admit taht I was really shocked at how entertaining the movie was. If you grew up watching those cheap softcore movies on Cinemax and HBO then you should be the target audiance for this film.

Normally I make excused for films like this when I enjoy them but I really don't think I need to do that here. Usually I say a movie was poorly made but it had elements that kept me entertained but this here was actually well-directed by Brian K. Williams who really delivers what fans of this type of film would want. THe effects are very cheesy looking but they were done that was for a reason and they work.

What really sells this film are the beautiful ladies and the fact that they are constantly naked (except for the star Church). There are all sorts of nude scenes here and in fact a large portion of the running time takes place at a strip club. If you're wanting to see women naked then this certainly delivers including one scene where a group of strippers are on stage and this scene must have the most number of breasts ever capture during one scene in film history.

Even the monsters were fun. Yes, you read that correctly. SPACE BABES FROM OUTER SPACE really is a pretty good movie. Sure, there are flaws to be found but the film had one goal and it met and exceeded that.

If outrageous dirty comical fun that's full of ridiculous antics, tons of dirty innuendos, immature dirty humor, the scrotum made into aliens chasing some not so smart & hilarious women through the galaxy that happen to land upon the "alien planet" Earth, a rocking soundtrack and hot smoking women (with a healthy dose of T&A) sounds like he making of a good time, strap yourself in for this movie. It's a ride you won't want to get off.

I laughed so much at this Spaceballs sort of film for adult men movie (but not a Star Wars parody). I have laughed so very hard and still am laughing as I type. I've laughed at this more than a film has made me laugh in a looong time and it's fun and it's sexy!

If you are a guy, you gotta at least rent this (I GOTTA OWN THIS!, my viewing is currently only a rental). This movie is NOT a porn, not even softcore porn despite that it seems like it would be at first glance. It's straight up adult comedy aimed at men, well, many of us men and you don't get a chance to stop some of your laughs before others are piled on.

The trailer doesn't do this justice, not even close but I suppose to do that would kill the experience of your first unexpecting watch of it. Often a trailer for a movie hypes you up for the movie but leaves you so disappointed after watching the movie but this, this is the opposite of that. I wasn't expecting much after what I read and saw in the trailer but after just 10 minutes of viewing I was already like, I can't believe what I am seeing and I LOVE IT!

The only thing that could add to how much fun this is, how hilarious it is, for me anyway, would be watching Beavis & Butthead view it. Just the thought of that kills me, just like the pissing scene did in this movie as that scene had me in stitches & losing my breath in immense laughter. This is on that level of humor too (Beavis & Butthead) but much sexier and much more adult comedy type.

I'm not quite at the end of the movie yet but I needed a moment to catch my breath, so I'm doing this review while I do so. Even if the rest of what's left for me to see for some reason sucked, I'd still give it 10 stars just for all I have seen thus far though I have a very hard time seeing this doing anything but getting better as I finish my viewing.

While there's A LOT of nice T&A in this to see, that's not the strength of the film nor what it relies on, just as the rocking soundtrack isn't either but both help make the experience a great one. The humor is what makes this so great and the other pleasant things are just delicious sweet icing on this cake. The ridiculous dialogue will be immature stupid to uptight people, same with the silly antics but it's this absurdity of it all that is the real strength of the film, which will make you love it (or hate if you are one of those types). This is the far, far, far opposite of a classy film and I love it for that because it does it so hilariously well.
