Emmanuelle in Space

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????

Okay, the only reason I watched this movie is because Krista Allen is in it. Since I admit to watching Days of our lives... I know her as Billie. Oh sure, perhaps there will be a reason to watch this movie.. that would be the soft porn area. They seem to exel at that. And little else. I would hope anyone renting/buying this movie rented it only for the sex scene's. Because if they bought/rented it for anything else, say quality tv, they may die of a heart attack. This movie involves little imagination whatsoever. While I do have a good laugh at it's stupidity, and perhaps I'll buy it myself, I am but a fool. Rent before you buy on this one. 2 out of 10. (note I have yet to give a movie a 1 star. the sensual scene's alone gave itself and up from a 1. if they hadn't a straight 1 in the pot and I want a refund if it hadn't.)

The Emmanual in Space films are happily shown regularily on the Cinemax late night series. Krystal Allen is in all of them, and as the viewers below have commented is astonishingly beautiful. She also has a homepage on the web where you can download quite a bit of info about her. A well rounded, wholesome type, married with children, she offers pics of herself free and doesn't charge as others in this genre often do. Landon Hall is another person like that. Others offer pics of themselves but only for money (money is written all over this game). An admirable person. She gives an address where you can write to her but that is just a PR device and you'd probably receive only a standard reply acknowledging your letter. That's OK, I don't expect her to tell me she had lox on a bagel for lunch.

Knowing all this about her it's hard to believe she does all those simulated sex scenes with such gusto. A sign of the professional I guess.

Soft Core Porn goes Star Trek. Idiots being phased down onto Earth just to find people having sex. Then those people will have sex with the Earth people and MORE people will be phased down and they'll just have one big Battlestar Galactica orgy. Wow...I'm hot and bothered just thinking about it.

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.
