To me, this movie is perfection.

Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

At extremely low budget, this film surprised me pretty enough.I mean, you got an scientific space station, inside we got an archetype of mad scientist (Kinski), well to call Kinski a mad scientist is somewhat a compliment... Because he was a real genius actor, a mad actor, heavy for corporation. OK, mad scientist and his own creation Max 404.The story gives you that... Well deja vu. An android with emotions. Honestly... An android with emotions works better than android who kills stupid teenagers. And there are no stupid teenagers here.Circumstances brought a three people gang on a station, with them is a lovely young woman Maggie (Brie Howard), and because of her Max started to develop emotions - Love! (Max has a room with a big information computer available to him, to learn. That was the most coolest thing in the film. You can easily say that Max is using a computer like we use internet today. Google for instance, to get information). Now, you just need to watch the film to see what will happen with Maggie and Max..Actors did a great job, especially Kinski and Don Keith Opper (Max), it is also good to see young Norbert Weisser in the film. The plot gives you a specific humor and to say that Max is actually one of the most lively, human like nature android ever to appear on screen on the beginning of the 80s. Well, like I said... Low budget... But the story and character are compensating the budget. Watch this film and enjoy it.

Here's a movie that turns an old Roger Corman trick, recycling sets for one low-budget movie after hours to make an even lower-budget movie, often one with more of a 'personal' touch. The victim here is Corman's Star Wars/Seven Samurai hybrid, "Battle Beyond the Stars," which was seriously el cheapo to begin with. "Android" was co-written by its star (and producer's son?) Don Opper, who plays an android in the throes of sexual awakening on a space station manned by Klaus Kinski in a blue sweater; he looks like he just popped by on a morning walk to the store. Some murderous 'anticorporate terrorists' happen on board, scheme a while, complications ensue. Some might find this too slight or too static, but I am impressed with how well it moves considering the economy, and actually I find its modestly quirky tone just about perfectly realized. It is one of those movies that looks like it was scribbled on the back of a high-school notebook, like The Abyss which is blows away effortlessly, or Phantasm which it can keep company with. It almost plays out as a wish-fulfillment fantasy of its geeky star; who ever gets a chance to play around on this scale? Only a lucky few, and we should cherish it when it happens.

Craggy old Klaus Kinski lives with his awkward assistant Max on a space station, developing a female android. Max spends his time playing old arcade games and researching the human condition - (I heard somewhere that the external shots of the space station were done by creating a model station from a display case which used to house watches or jewelry!) Into this scenario comes band of escaped convicts on a space ship badly damaged during their escape ...There is humour in this film but it is of a very dark shade. The LACK of special effects ADDS to the "reality" of the film.A couple of really unexpected plot twists along the way - I rate it a "9" which is the highest I have ever given a film on the IMDb

The first time I saw this movie on television, I was stunned that any Director would put his/her name on the credits for, and even admit having directed, such an incredibly poor film. The second time I saw this movie on television, I had to change the channel to avoid the odeur de ordures putréfiées.I agree with Jason Atwood : this is wonderful fodder for Mystery Science Theater 3000. Hoping to see Crow T. Robot and Tom Servo all over this one!Le Grecque
