This low-budget sci-fi parody pokes fun at such "space operas" as Star Wars and Alien as it chronicles the adventures of the starship Infinity where poor Captain Cornelius Butt finds himself playing "mommy" to a baby alien while handsome crewman Thor falls in love with the beautiful robot pilot… More This low-budget sci-fi parody pokes fun at such "space operas" as Star Wars and Alien as it chronicles the adventures of the starship Infinity where poor Captain Cornelius Butt finds himself playing "mommy" to a baby alien while handsome crewman Thor falls in love with the beautiful robot pilot Galaxina and tries to turn her into a real woman. The film is best known for being the last screen appearance of rising-starlet Dorothy Stratten, the beautiful 20-year-old Playboy model who was brutally murdered by her estranged husband shortly after this film premiered. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Jeffrey M. Anderson, Combustible Celluloid
A lazy attempt to spoof the popular sci-fi movies of the day.
Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com
Leering and drooling sci-fi sex farce.

Cheesy but fun Science Fiction space comedy - a post-Star Wars influence, but before Ice Pirates and Spaceballs. The laughably long opening sequence is slow and overdramatic, and doesn't get to the action until after 7 minutes. There is an interesting use of stock classical music… More
Cheesy but fun Science Fiction space comedy - a post-Star Wars influence, but before Ice Pirates and Spaceballs. The laughably long opening sequence is slow and overdramatic, and doesn't get to the action until after 7 minutes. There is an interesting use of stock classical music throughout. Galaxina is one sexy robot lady and more of an object to drive the plot than a character with interactions. This movie would've soared to new heights if they dared dress her up in skimpier outfits. The crew of the police ship were a bunch of clowns, not meant to be taken seriously.The aliens and planets are silly and low budget. It is fun to watch now and again.
