Emmanuelle: Rainha da Galáxia

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????

If you were disappointed with the bad editing job in First Contact, then you'll love this one. Show's a hell of alot more Krista Allen than you can possibly take in.

Now of course, anyone expecting a plot out of this movie is gonna die of shock.

But to enjoy this film you have to be 1. love this sort of film 2. really want to see Krista Allen very nude and 3. Ignore the fact that she'd rather have this part of her life buried. Which I can understand, but you've got to learn to live with your mistakes. (off subject a little, why Tori Amos doesn't want her Y Kant Tori Read album out is beyond me. Sure it was bad times, but I wouldn't want my past to rule me.) This is of course the unrated DVD version.

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.

This is not a new film. It is a re-cut of 1994's "Emmanuelle, Queen of the Galaxy", and it has been significantly truncated. Warning: Many characters appear in the credits that have been cut from the movie!

If you want to see this one in its original form, pick up "Queen" - avoid this one at all costs, as the cuts make it even choppier than it was originally.

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.
