GALAXINA

Cinemavixion Review

William Sachs' 1980 science-fiction comedy, "Galaxina," offers a campy romp through the cosmos, parodizing the tropes of space opera with a playful, albeit risqué, sensibility. Set in the 31st century, the film follows the crew of the police cruiser Infinity on a mission to retrieve the legendary Blue Star, a gem of immense power. Their journey is fraught with intergalactic absurdity, leading them through an outer space brothel and encounters with a motorcycle-worshipping cult. The film's charm lies in its B-movie aesthetic and its unabashed embrace of camp, featuring a sexy android protagonist, Galaxina, at its center. While critically panned, with a 14% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and a 3.7/10 on IMDb, "Galaxina" has garnered a cult following for its unique blend of sci-fi parody and softcore exploitation, making it a curious artifact of 1980s genre cinema.
