It tries to be a sci-fi spoof but fails miserably.

According to the opening, "The year is 3008. Space travel is now routine. As new galaxies were explored and more civilizations discovered, the traffic in space increased. The United Intergalactic Federation was called upon to create a police force and soon a fleet of ships was patrolling the far reaches of the known star systems. This is the story of one of these ships police cruiser, number 308, the Infinity. It is also the story of the ship's crew and of the ship's robot. She was no ordinary robot for in the 31st century man finally created a machine with feelings, and her name is… Galaxina." …and "Galaxina" is played by Dorothy Stratten, famous for her wholesomely sexy nude spreads in "Playboy" magazine. She was also murdered by her mismanaging husband in 1980...The excellent "Star 80" (1983) covers Ms. Stratten's short-lived limelight exceptionally well. This film covers up most of her body and reveals no significant acting ability. Still, it's difficult to shine in this travesty and Stratten might have learned a successful screen persona. She does look sexier as the film drags on. It's mostly a spoof of "Star Trek" and "Star Wars" with a little "Alien" added to the mix. Also caught in the weak vehicle are cigar-smoking Stephen Macht (as Thor), blond cowboy James David Hinton (as Buzz) and "Doritos" pitchman Avery Schreiber (as Cornelius Butt).** Galaxina (6/6/80) William Sachs ~ Dorothy Stratten, Stephen Macht, James David Hinton, Avery Schreiber

Galaxina (1980) 1/2 (out of 4) Cult sci-fi film about an outer space police squad who are sent on a mission to try and recover a crystal that could cause major harm if it falls into the wrong hands. GALAXINA is an incredibly bad spoof of the genre, which would have probably been forgotten by now had it not been released just a few months before the death of its star Dorothy Stratten. The star would be killed by her husband shortly after this movie was released and I'm sure its this curiosity, which got the film a few extra bucks at the box office and it's this that makes people check it out today. Sadly, it's a pretty horrible movie and if Stratten did have any talent she was certainly unable to show it here. Those checking this out to see her are going to be disappointed for a number of reasons but for the majority of the running time she's just sitting in a chair looking off into space. Whenever she's not doing this she's basically just got bad dialogue to say and those expecting to see any sexuality will really be disappointed. I'm not sure if I've ever seen a movie where a Playboy model was dressed in such unsexy clothes. Everything else in this film is pretty much horrible as the action scenes are lame, the special effects are a joke and there's really not a single interesting character to be found. The majority of the film is a spoof so we're given some unfunny jokes about Spock, a rip-off of the ALIEN tagline and even Kubrick's 2001 jets a joke aimed at it. The problem is that none of these jokes are funny and in fact they're just downright stupid to the point where you grow frustrated with the film. I really don't know what the filmmakers were trying to do with this thing. I've heard it's an early attempt at what Mel Brooks would do in SPACEBALLS but this thing here is just a complete waste of time. The only thing mildly interesting are some of the creatures but these aren't enough to make you sit through the film.

There are a few reasons to view this film when there is nothing else important to see.First off as a parody of sci-fi and westerns it's so bad it's high camp.Second,some really bad acting that makes you wonder how wonderful character actor Stephen Macht got caught in this as well as veteran funny man Avery Schreiber.Finally,Dorothy Stratten,who was killed in a sensational Hollywood murder the same year,1980 as this 95 minute film was released.She was indeed beautiful and had a screen presence if not really a "good"actress. Back to the film.It's pretty bad BUT it does reference a few good films and the "Star Wars"bar parodies as well as the old "Flash Gordon"music are fun to see and hear.The film"Flesh Gordon"had better effects but this parodies a few films rather than spoofing only one well.The "shootout"parody of "Good the Bad and the Ugly"is also amusing.Its just the bad acting.Tepid recommendation.
