Baberellas

I rented this movie because I like the main actress, Julie K. Smith (she's getting older and won't be making many more movies so every one counts). The title "B-movie Queen" is batted around a bit too loosely but she definitely qualifies as one of the 90's best. Too bad she's being offered sub-par flicks like this. Special effects are not supposed to take up most of the time in one of these movies for the simple reason that they cant afford anything good. However, the directors of this flick seemed to think that they were making the next Star Wars.They also tried to cash in on the title of Jane Fonda's classic "Barbarella" and fool buyers into thinking it was some kind of parody, it's not even close. I did chuckle at two or three scenes but most of the time I just felt cheated. Not funny, sexy, erotic, interesting or worthy of more than a curious look. I would really be kicking myself(hard) if Julie wasn't in it. As it is, this movie is only worth watching if someone else is paying or you're really, REALLY bored.

When one rents a movie like Baberellas, theres only one reason for doing so...the girls. This movie has plenty of them and they are nice to look at, but that is the only good thing about this movie.

If I had to sum it up in one word it would be--ANNOYING. The "plot" has something to do with an alien needing sexual energy and so she captures it from these women on Earth. To tell you the truth I didnt get much of the plot because I started fast forwarding after 5 minutes.

The special effects are the funniest part of this "comedy." The computer graphics look like they came out of a computer game circa 1992. Totally pathetic. And whenever there are scenes of nudity they arent full screen, theyre in some weird "space monitor" so its only about half the screen big. Which makes viewing this movie EXTREMELY (I wish I could type that "extremely" in 50 foot letters) frustrating. The only reason I rented this was to see the beautiful Julie K Smith. Shes looks amazing in this and so I guess I got what I wanted..........kinda.

Schlock as some would call it, sexploitation by others, b-movies, by others still. Babarellas pays close heed to its predecessors of sexual kitzch, providing what every staple in this genre must have. Campy special effects, a laughable plot, and amazingly beautful women. Movies like these are often misrepresented as soft-core pornography or low-grade science fiction, they are in fact far from both. The movie is ment to lightly entertain and create interest and is perfect for filling in ambient space for: house parties, night clubs, and bars. In otherwords it is simply entertainment in its cleanest form, unburdened with morals, messages, or motives, other than to put a smile on your face. Babarellas does exactly that. Imagine if you will: you and your date are arriving at your favorite local pub, where you proceed to sit down at the bar and order a beer. Staring straight ahead you look up to the tv and witness on screen a gorgeous woman wearing what looks like a metal raygun bra, in which she grapples with pleasure as a massive lazer shoots out from her chest across the horizon, and completely annihilating a whole mountain range. It's the kind of thing you can't help but smile at; your date sees it and though being insulted, by it laughs despite herself. That's entertainment!

I believe the idea behind this flick was to show beautiful women getting naked in ludicrous situations, and it achieved this effect. There is plenty of nudity, as well as fun bonus features like casting calls where the women improvise with the director and actors (also getting naked). There is a good spirit to this thing, but one gets the sense that some of the tongue that was supposed to go in the cheek got cut off and left on the cutting-room floor, leaving the movie looking more stupid than anything. There is no sex in this, it is just a whole lot of fun nudity. So, if beautiful women finding any excuse to take off their clothes is your idea of a good time, wrapped in some cheesy space effects and a few good gags, this could be the thing for you. The brunette doing the striptease for the ridiculous, pizza-eating Elvis was the highlight for me. Everyone I've talked to who has seen this seems to have their own favorite goofy moment. Enjoy. 8/10

There is not much to say for this flick. Oh yes, surely, there is a reason why they exist, it's for the guys. But the movie itself is full of really bad CGI, looks like Commodore 64 stuff, really. The storyline is bad it's always the same but at another location, dressed undressed, next set, same again. The acting is bad, they just can't act, and look at the narrator, does his hairstyle reminded you of a horror classic? It's classified under science-fiction, well, in some way it is but the most important reason to watch such flicks is not for the storyline or the CGI or whatsoever, you just look at it for the boobs, and let me tell you, it's full of it, even some full frontal bushy and shaved vagina's. But the important part aren't the spaceships but the juggs. 4 girls do have the main lead, well, their, sigh, you know what, and they come in all sizes from small till heavy breasts. So this is for the lonely ones who have shares with Kleenex, or for the six pack guys having a evening together, choose yourself. May the juggs be with you.
