Found another fembot film by accident

Post by noidguy » Fri Dec 31, 2004 6:53 pm

Hey, does Erika Eleniak as a pleasure bot sound good to you? Too bad! ;)

Just kidding. Well, sort of. I just rented a dvd called "Dracula 3000". It's the usual spaceship adrift, crew being killed one by one storyline. Anything involving the future and spaceships has a chance of a fembot appearance, and this one paid off.

The bad news is Erika does nothing to make you believe she's a bot. At one point in the movie the vampire baddie has a conversation with her and allows her to return to the rest of the crew. They of course are suspicious as to why she was not bitten. She reveals to them that she is a surveilance robot sent to document the crews' activities, so she has no blood to suck.

From that point on nothing happens to her that shows her true nature. Just the typical robot jokes and a few lines about "programming". In the last scene she and one male crew member are left alive the doomed ship, heading into a sun. Erika lets the man know that before she was upgraded to a narc bot she was a "PB", aka pleasure bot. The two of them rush off screen, you see an outside view of the ship exploding, the end.

Don't go see this just because I mentioned the robot bit. Really, there's nothing to see. But I had to mention it, y'know.

Noid!
First off, thank you for rescuing the board after it's unconscionable defacement.


As for "Dracula 3000"; I looked at that at the place where I rent DVDs and thought, "Hm, I'll check a couple reviews and see if it might be worth a rent.". I like Erika Eleniak and "Dracula 2000" was alright (even though I knew this was one of those name only connections) so the only downside was Casper Van Dien and possibly the story.

Anyway, the point is that the other day I thought about the movie again and it occurred to me; being it takes place in the future there was a possibility that Erika was a robot. I mean, ever since "Alien" all of these so-called screenwriters want to make stories that take place on a deep-space ship "Alien" meets "fill in the plank". Hence, this is Dracula on the Nostromo so there has to be a spy from the company a la Ash.

The thing that gets me is that if they want to be so cliche in their writing why don't they go the rest of the way and have her act robotically at some point? Hell, it would be preferable to have a scene with her shorting out in some water to the "in-name-only" crap that they do these days.

Anyway, thanks for the review Noid!
