When the title first started rolling and I noticed how cheap and inferior the sets and special effects were, I thought I might as well not see this. But as it turns out, I wasn't bored.

Sure, the acting is worse than a Z grade horror movie and Max 404 is the wimpiest android of them all, but I was drawn to finish it out.

Klaus Kinski is underused and absurd in this role, but so what?

The plot concerns an android who wants to be human and some space convicts that land on the orbiting space station.

The space station looks like a French disco and the music is horribly dated, but maybe that is why it looks like something interesting to watch.

Keep an eye on the homage to Lang's 'Metropolis'.
