Starfire Mutiny (2002 Video)
4/10
Watchable, but far from good

In the future, Earth's atmosphere is screwed up and most of its inhabitants are cryogenically frozen aboard a giant spaceship in orbit. Only prison convicts and their guards are still on the planet. In a few years, a large solar flare is scheduled to erupt which via some cockamamie plan will be focused through the Hubble Space Telescope, routed through various satellites, and cause the atmosphere to be restored. Anyhow, some prison convicts escape and steal a shuttle, then hijack the big cryo-ship in orbit. They want to blow up one of the ship's reactors, focus that energy through the Hubble, and then thaw everyone out and rule over them on the restored planet. But they need the help of the ship's pilot to maneuver it into position, and also the manager of the cryogenics program to figure out the yield of the nuclear explosion. But the manager of the cryo program was lost during Earth's evacuation, and in her place there's a hot blond con-artist (Remember the blond chick from the movie Hammerhead? Okay, probably not). So she tries to convince the bad guys she's a physicist, even having a little lesbian scene with the lead bad girl (we don't get to see it, only a quick glimpse of the blonde's boobs afterwards).

Anyhow, lots of running around and shooting. Unfortunately there's quite a bit of these two comic relief characters, having long (and boring) conversations about whether there will be girls in the cryo units, and whether they can have one, or maybe two. Funny music plays in the background. It really made me groan. Acting is pretty crummy overall, especially on the part of the bad guy and his female henchman. Not much in the way of T&A, just the 1 second of the lead actress' boobs and one of the minor characters (who I believe was Playmate of the month in the Checkoslovakian Playboy) topless for about 1/2 of a second. The female characters wear these interesting outfits, with pants that are see-thru when they bend over and black thongs underneath. That's about it.

The plot is hopelessly convoluted and the ending is just as goofy as any I've ever seen. Overall, maybe good for a rent if you're really bored and a fan of (very) mildly titillating low budget sci-fi from Checkoslovakia.
