In 2036, on space station ULC53 far from earth, Dr Daniels a scientist, and his human-like android are at work on the "perfect" buxom female robot. Unknown to android Max, the scientist plans to replace him with the new model. But the arrival of three escaped convicts interrupts their work, complicating the doctor's experiments and the android's planned visit to the earth he's dreamed of but never seen. Interestingly it's based on the same Philip K. Dick source as BLADERUNNER.

    Three space convicts upset the plans of mad scientist Klaus Kinski to replace his companion android, Max 404, with a perfect female version in a low-key slice of cult science-fiction from the Roger Corman factory. Don Opper's portrayal of Max as a nerdy movie buff clone adds extra pop culture playfulness to the enjoyably exciting and charming proceedings, which were filmed on the same sets as Battle Beyond the Stars. Neat suspense, a few final reel twists and another eccentric Kinski performance make this low-budget gem a high-energy winner.

    Not Baa-a-a-d

    A nice little space opera with, perhaps, ideas above its station. (It claims to be based on Dick's 'Do Androids Dream...', the same novel which was... more
