- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone who's looked up and wondered and anyone who's wondered what makes us human, this one's for you. Much of it plays out in space, so the scale is part of the thrill. Liked Sleeper or Star Trek? This is a good next one. Underneath the tech, it's asking what being human really means.
- The mood
- Provocative satire that goes after everyone.
- The pace
- Quick and easy-going, at 1 hr 35 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated R: meant for adults.
- Not the pick if you want something heavy or meaningful.
Galaxina is a lifelike, voluptuous android who is assigned to oversee the operations of an intergalactic Space Police cruiser captained by incompetent Cornelius Butt. When a mission requires the ship's crew to be placed in suspended animation for decades, Galaxina finds herself alone for many years, developing emotions and falling in love with the ship's pilot, Thor.
