Must See
By Rebekkah Sarah Payne from Southampton, Hampshire , 09 Jan 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Don Opper not only wrote this film but also gave a brilliant performance of Max 404 an android who is isolated in space with the mad Dr Daniel (Klaus Kinski).
Dr Daniel is working on project 'Cassandra' which he is working to complete the 'perfect female' android, this work is illegal on Earth and the research money is just about to be pulled... this is until 3 fugatives land on the station that gives Dr Daniel a lease of new hope...
Although this film was made in 1982 the only thing really good about it is the music which Max plays throughout from the early and late 60's. Brilliant performances though from Don Opper, Brie Howard (Maggie) and not not forgetting the unforgettable perfomance of the beautiful Kendra Kirchner (Cassandra).
Certainly a good film with a surprising ending.- Was this review helpful to you?

By RamasesII (6 reviews) from Great Yarmouth , 29 Jul 2009I first saw this film 20 odd years ago on telly and I thought that it was an o.k 80's sci-fi flick....I thought. Turns out of course that I was only remembering the o.k bits and had forgotten the other 80 awful minutes. The acting is wooden at best and being an 80's sci-fi flick the technology and FX show their age.
It doesn't really have any good bits but their are a couple of good ideas struggling to break out and the end is kind of neat, clever for it's day but similar things have been done so many times since that it's not too hard to work it out from the start.
I gave two stars because I was disappointed that it wasn't as good as I thought and it ia just an o.k 80's sci-fi flick.- Was this review helpful to you?

Pan-Droid
By John McDowell from Edinburgh , 01 Feb 2007Reviews of this film suggested an interesting piece of early 80s Sci-fi, particularly since it was supposedly loosely based on Dick's novel which spawned Blade Runner. Unfortunately I found this movie to be somewhat difficult to watch. The acting was pretty poor, as B movie-ish as the sets it uses. That would be bearable if the characterisations and plot were developed well enough, but here I feel the piece is distinctly weak. The characters are pretty flat, and they are not presented in a way that is even remotely interesting or as providing insight into human relations and the so-called human condition - something that Dick's novels can rarely be accused of with any great conviction. All in all a disappointing evening spent with the laboured Android.- Was this review helpful to you?

Just a bit of info
By chris J from Whitchurch, Hants , 31 Jul 2005To keep the budget down, Roger Corman used most of the set from Battle Beyond the Stars- Was this review helpful to you?

Not Baa-a-a-d
By Mike from Spondon, Derby , 10 Feb 2005A 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 the basis of 'Blade Runner'.) There's a nice twist in the tail, Kinski does a good Mad Scientist, and Opper's android is also well-done, though compare the stunning CGI of 'I, Robot' to see how things have come on in the past twenty years! All in all, a perfectly pleasant way to spend an hour and a quarter.- Was this review helpful to you?
