Reviews

Unlimitedia Sick Product of a Sick System
Aiden Melton The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Haven Kaycee It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
Woodyanders Shot in a hypnotically funky-punky neon 80's New Wave style (y'know, loads of bright lighting and smoke swirling in the corners of the frame throughout), with a bouncy'n'catchy soundtrack, a cool and colorful array of bizarre extraterrestrial creatures, a quirky sensibility, and amusing touches of flaky humor, writer/director Albert Pyon's offbeat tale of an all-female rock group from outer space who aspire to make it big starts out well enough, but alas runs out of gas at the halfway point and stalls prior to kicking back into energetic first gear for a lively climactic musical number. The key problem is that the weak and meandering narrative seriously lacks the necessary cohesion to come together as a satisfying whole, which ensures that this picture never completely realizes the full potential of its inspired and promising central premise. The erratic stop'n'go pacing counts as another major flaw. Fortunately, the zesty acting by the enthusiastic cast keeps the film watchable: Linda Kerridge as the vain Wynzi Krodo, Gina Calabrese as the sweet Bree Syn, Dru-Anne Perry as spunky goody goody two shoes Judy Jetson, Shayne Farris as the snippy Mandoza, Anthony Kentz as smarmy hustler manager Matty Asher, and Mary-Anne Graves as bitchy rock promoter Maxine Mortogo. Moreover, the gaudy make-up and humongous hairdos give this honey a gnarly 80's period charm while the rather primitive (not so) special effects are a hilariously hokey sight to behold. An acceptable outré diversion.
movieman_kev Judy Jetson, the new singer for a futuristic all-girl punk band from the future gets stranded on a desert planet after the spaceship that they are taking to a promising gig runs out of power. Oh and there's a homicidal maniac in the ship too.This film was just kooky enough to let me forgive the Director/writer's later made '90's Captain America travesty. The songs were actually quite catchy and I found my foot tapping to many of them. Unfortunately, the movie does lag in the middle. But the first half hour is trashy b-movie gold. Eye Candy: A 'blink and you're miss her' and two rather fetching topless sand-people
secrective Well Well Well. what a juicy 80s movie. kickin soundtrack, actings alright.ITS AN ALL GIRL BAND MOVIE, going to a gig, in outer space.The songs are pretty damn catchy. they are frequent within the soundtrack.What more do you want from a movie? Why isn't this (and all Albert pyun movies) on the syfy channel? seriously underrated and under watched.i recommend other pyun movies too.a space Alice in wonderland. if Alice was in a band.sfx are good. some cool looking monsters and puppetry.hair is 80s. some neon showing here and there.if you like this sort of thing, 'bad channels' and 'critters' make great 80s music/space movies.
Superwonderscope Albert Pyun gives us here the most disjoncted movie he ever did, a gigantic sing-along-schlock-o-rama that goes all the way. This story of 4 babes in a pseudo punk-rock band Vicous Lips that go to a in club 'The "Radioactive Dreams" as in Mr Pyun's second flick) is simply hilarious.Near-zero budget allows to create the impossible :from so-so FX of spaceship to the great venusian beast created by master Greg Cannom to monsters & make up extradordinaire by John Carl Buechler and the Chiodo Bros, this is quite unbelievable. it is sometimes beyond criticism and that's why it has to become a cult movie. Almost invisible now, grab it if u can (it sometimes appears under the title "Pleasure Planet"). This is a wild ride, a mix of sci-fi; comedy; musical with some T&A and some half naked bodybuilders + outrageous make up.Something for everyone indeed.Some fast editing, good photography and bad acting surrounds the whole movie. And as usual, the fabulous & Pyun regular Linda Kerridge erupts with beauty & flair , her eyes saying "what am I doing here?" . A surreal & nightmarish vision.Vicous Lips is a masterpiece from outer space and deserves to be nominated for the best worst movies ever. An 8, definitely.
