Product Description

Darren Moloney directed this softcore science fiction sex fantasy from the exploitation specialists at Surrender Cinema. Sketching a fairly straightforward variation on themes explored more flamboyantly in Ellen Cabot's Petticoat Planet (1996), the story begins as three astronauts land at the spaceport of Andromina, hoping to purchase some romantic companionship at a brothel run by a madam named Mabel (Samantha Phillips). When they find the spaceport free of women, the three men -- Jeeter (John Matrix), Cody (Eric Stratton), and Omar (Mike Roman) -- decide to brave the forbidden all-female planet of Eros in an attempt to convince some of its residents to return with them and take jobs with Mabel on Andromina. Of course, being as men are not allowed on Eros, the trio faces torture, imprisonment, and various other unpleasantries if they are caught, but they manage to find plenty of women who have never seen a man and are quite curious about their differing anatomies as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Several versions, February 16, 2006

By	John J. Thomas III - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

There appear to be several versions of this movie floating around. There is an "unrated" version and a "directors cut". I know there is a "directors cut" on VHS but I don't think a DVD version has been released yet. The DVD "unrated" is a bit cleaner then the directors cut in that scenes are shortened and things have been trimmed down. If you saw this movie on t.v. as I did then you saw the directors cut and will probably be very disapointed in the other version(s) as quite a bit is taken out. Its noticeable how much is taken out after seeing two different versions of this movie. One version looks PG 14ish with so much having been taken out and seeing a censored version of a movie with simulated action is kinda pointless.


To be clear and to try and help someone avoid being disapointed, as I was, if you really liked this movie on t.v. or saw it on video you probably saw the directors cut and may want to check carefully which version you are getting when you order it. I am not sure the directors cut has come out on DVD yet I only know the copy of the DVD I got when I ordered is way different (a lot toned down) from the vhs directors cut version I got a couple years ago.

I gave this product one star. If it had been the directors cut version brought out on DVD like I thought it was then it would have got a lot higher.

1.0 out of 5 stars Koch strikes again. This DVD is the R rated version., May 1, 2005

By	David - See all my reviews

Once again, Koch, for reasons that I cannot possibly fathom, assumed that people would enjoy this movie more if the brilliant story and dialog weren't being constantly interrupted by those annoying sex scenes. I know I'm feeling large amounts of gratitude. It's gratitude when you want to disembowel someone, right?

At least the copy I bought was used, so Koch didn't make a dime off of me. Anyway, this is another Koch release that you should definitely avoid.

3.0 out of 5 stars Andromina Needs Women, February 18, 2005

By	Joshua Koppel (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is a strange movie even for this type. Andromina is a pleasure planet although all we ever see is a small strip bar with peeling cinder block walls. The aging proprietress is now all alone as virtual reality has killed the business. Some space truckers (or whatever) decide to help the place out. They will go find new girls to work as "hostesses". Now it gets really weird. Apparently the best place to find women to serve men and play "hostess" is a planet where men are forbidden and hated. Sure.

So the group gets to the forbidden planet and encounter various tribes of women. Apparently, except for a severe-looking blonde with a cattle prod (no lines), all of the women on the planet secretly want men. Sex, captivity, and seduction fill out the bulk of the movie until Andromeda is ultimately saved.

Ok, we know what this film is supposed to do and it does it fairly well. An attractive cast and some interesting twists in the plot make this one of the better offerings of this type but they really should have done something about the opening premise.
