A crew of mostly female intergalactic pirates pull off a daring heist on a floating casino space station. The pirates elude capture by the police by hiding out on an uninhabited planet. However, said planet turns out to be a nightmare world that's populated by all kinds of dangerous creatures. Writer/director Darin Wood relates the entertainingly inane story at a constant brisk pace, delivers a delicious plethora of yummy bare distaff breasts, further spruces things up with oodles of juicy blood-spraying gore, presents a nifty array of gnarly monsters, and wisely doesn't take any of this infectious go-for-broke energetic silliness seriously for a minute. The enthusiastic cast of game no-name thespians attack the loopy material with lip-smacking zest, with especially lively and enjoyable work from Liesel Hanson as scrappy ex-Marine pilot Ginger Maldonado, Jawara Duncan as valiant cop Val Falco, Paquita Estrada as gutsy Captain Mickey 'Trix' Richards, Stephanie Hyden as saucy airhead pleasure clone Astrid Covair, Keith Leitl as touchy feely cyborg Automatic Jones, and Danielle Williams as the spunky Candy 'Karma' Miranda. The lovably cheap'n'cheesy CGI effects possess a certain endearingly hokey cartoonish charm. Christy Savage's vibrant color cinematography gives the picture a funky garish look. Phillip Baldwin's snazzy'n'jazzy score hits the spirited swinging spot. A total campy treat.
