Lust in Space (2015)
* 1/2 (out of 4)
Susan (Jazy Berlin) is an upcoming astronaut who hopes to make the next space mission and when she finally gets her chance she has to deal with a couple spies.
LUST IN SPACE is the latest softcore title that is making the rounds on Cinemax. It's on there under the title of NAKED IN SPACE, which is a lot more fitting since the majority of the 81 minute running time is just naked people doing simulated sex scenes. I must admit that I understand why these types of movies were so important back in the 80s since there wasn't the internet and teenage boys had to wait until their parents went to bed in order to catch one of these on a Friday night.
With that said, I must admit that I'm a little surprised that so many of them are still made today. So, how is this one? It's pretty much what you'd expect from this type of movie. Very little plot. Very little acting. Just a whole lot of simulated sex scenes. As for Jazy Berlin, she's serviceable in the lead role, although you have to wonder why some of the supporting actresses got more scenes. She at least managed to keep you attention when she was on the screen.
Should you watch LUST IN SPACE? If you're a fan of the genre or Berlin then you might want to check it out but there's really nothing here campy enough to make you have to watch it. The simulated sex scenes are what they are but I've got to think that most fans would rather watch the star in the real thing.
