Michael Raven gets full marks for his design work and visual style in this exercise in dysopian science fiction, but for some reason was Mr. Lazybones when it came to his screenplay. The pretty pictures and eroticism pass muster, while his story never progresses beyond the narrated starting point.
We're in the year 2033, and after half the Earth's population has died through war and disease a world order has been established that controls procreation and has banned both marriage and co-habitation. Beautiful and silent (as is virtually the entire cast, while a femme voice-over drones on with expository information for the viewer) heroine Monica Sweetheart is arrested along with her lover Joey Ray and sent to the BRC (Biological Release Center) where she will be re-programmed and used to service elite males.
Once this has been established, the rest of the movie is merely beauties humping away with the usual Chatsworth studs -no revolution, uprising or anything disturbing this future totalitarian society. After the final money shot there is some talk of Monica refusing to give up her fantasy life (of still being with Joey) but otherwise the bad guys win -hardly a testament to the human spirit if that is in fact what Raven intended.
The sets are highly imaginative and visuals striking, especially in capturing feminine beauty -so effective that the show might have been far better if conceived and executed as softcore eroticism rather than Raven's chosen medium of XXX. It wouldn't have killed him to write some dialog and enact a few dramatic scenes, rather than fall back on the all-sex crutch of pornography.
