Andromina: The Pleasure Planet

I have seen this movie twice now and it's like watching two different movies. The first time I saw this title it was merely a strip show. People got naked, began to touch and fade to next scene. Sure, they were very attractive people but there was almost no sex and the little that was shown was brief and unexciting. Which I thought was a shame since the girls were nearly all beautiful and buxom and there was a nice variety.

The second time around made up for my initial disappointment. The sex scenes, it turns out, had been cut from my first viewing. The second time there was plenty of very hot sex with a good variety of positions and views and the effect was good enough to let you overlook the fact that it was all simulated (or was it? It was that well done.)

If you are a soft-porn fan, put this one on the list. The women are excellent, the action is frequent and the plot is silly enough to be amusing and entertaining. As soft-porn, it's a 4 stars (of 5).

Honest to God, the Outline pretty much says it all. The planet Andromina (not to be confused with Aunt Jemima) is represented by a cheap L.A. stripclub. There's no strippers, so the most recent male visitors go off to recruit strippers.

The men get mistaken for kings or arrested for spying on women (although despite the fact its a planet of women we only get two women who participate in any girl-girl sex scenes), and eventually, as always happen in science fiction cliche movies everywhere, the women become convinced that men are good for something. Well, not the men who made this movie, at any rate!

But boy, do we get to see a lot of that something, in prodigious amounts of softcore sex and nudity. This one has less plot then usual for such flicks, so change the channel if you don't like this kind of movie, and grit your teeth if you're into this kind of thing.

Picture this--There's a planet in some distant galaxy with nightclubs filled with women who cater to the desires of lonely, sex-starved space cowboys.

Yeah, I found it hard to believe too.

Well, it's up to three brave men to venture out into space and bring in some fresh faces for a club they're regulars at.

And that's where the fun begins.

"Andromina: The Pleasure Planet" reminds me so much of "Dinosaur Island" it's unbelievable. These three guys end up landing in an all-female tribe full of the usual man-hating cave dwellers. Of course, these aren't your usual primitive creatures....these women are absolutely gorgeous. Well, one thing leads to another, and the men usually end up tied, jailed, or generally in the wrong places at the wrong times.

But they get to have lots of sex!

Most of the women in this movie I'm not that familiar with, but a couple of them I've seen in other places.

First off, there's Griffin Drew. It's nice to see she's still working.

Then there's this other girl.....I don't know her real name, but I swear she looks just like Lana Star from Women of Wrestling, if any of you guys watch that show. She shows up as a hostile cavegirl who's upset with another girl over a pastry recipe of some sort. One of the guys, who has been suddenly crowned king of the village (go figure) has to mediate the problem. Of course, neither of them can cook, so a catfight breaks out and off come the clothes!

"Becca", played by Shannan Leigh, steals the show with her performance. Not only is she very attractive, but she's quite convincing in her role as a pseudo-Amazonian warrior.

It's nice to see some new girls in these movies. Not that there's anything wrong with the ones I usually see over and over again, but we need some fresh bodies to look at!

All in all, about 90 minutes of fun.

Sex: A Story: B+ Women: A- Overall: A

Give it a look the next time it's on in your neighborhood.

Andromina: The Pleasure Planet is a supriginly somewhat likeable late-night Cinemax film. The thing that caught my eye is how almost pop-culture it is. It is a fun, almost 1960s-style (note the cake throwing sex scene) skin flick with bodacious babes, so-unfunny-its-funny dialogue, and an entertaining storyline. The funniest thing about this is the social commentary on our male-dominated planet. What makes this so funny is how they show women in control...and having sex. Irony? Or just dumb soft-core porn?

Plot: three men search for girls for their party club on a women-ruled planet. What they don't relise is that the women despise men...but are more than willing to shag.

As far as adult film goes, this is the best one I have ever seen. Look out for rent or to watch on Cinemax...although don't get me wrong here, it still is just porn.

I finally found the editor's cut of this film at a cheap price (I hate my softcore to be cut), and I must say, WOW! Shannan Leigh is soooo hot!! But, hey, all the babes in this movie are hot. There's not one that didn't do something for me. For softcore, the sex is extremely gratuitous. and if you can find the editor's cut, do not miss this one. Unless you hate gorgeous women and movies with lots of sex, this movie is definately for you.
