Yes, the story and many scenes were almost entirely and obviously ripped from Barbarella. Yes, it’s an overwritten cynical corporate attempt at comedy. What was that red dress with the hoopy thing all about? And OMG, just how eighties is this movie? Some movies don’t date well, sci-fi especially, and this is one that is stuck forever in the time of big shoulders and bigger hair.
However, let it not be forgotten that Kim Basinger was probably the hottest woman of the Eighties and is still pretty hot today. Her performance here is probably not as exciting as that in Nine and a Half Weeks, not is she acting as well as she did in LA Confidential, but as Celeste she’s still pretty hot nonetheless.
