Review: 2036. On a remote space station science fanatical scientist, Dr. Daniel has constructed a robot named Max-404. At the station, there are no other members of the human race, so the robot has never seen other species other than their creator. Max-404 is committed to studying life on Earth in the twentieth century with the records and books. He wants to fly to his home planet of Dr. Daniel, but this is impossible. The fact that there is a long time ago there was a riot robots, and then they were banned and banished from the earth. Meanwhile, the plant makes a stop a small group of criminals who escaped from Earth. Max-404 surprised behavior arrivals. He’s spying on the way they look at pornographic movies and make love. He likes the young woman Maggie, who arrived with the criminals. Max-404 learns that Dr. Daniel is trying to design a better android female Cassandra and replace the old Max-404. He cherishes the dream to become the ruler of the galaxy …
Unremarkable film on the popular theme of the mad scientist, and he creates an android that is a humanoid robot. The action takes place on a distant space station, which is in solitude Dr. Daniel tries to create the perfect creature. Android Max 404 (in his role – Don Keith Opper, one of the authors of the script) too quickly out of control, becomes independent in thought and deed. Incidentally, he is more humane space bandits, who landed on the station, while rebelling against their creator. And he now looks forward to a new model – this time it was a female, hoping to use it to conquer the world.
Feed low-budget, in fact – filmed in only 20 days, and the scenery in the back, which were built for the more expensive painting “Battle beyond the stars” (1980), was, in turn, is secondary to a number of fantastic film credits. What can we say about the “ANDROID”, which appears in many aspects of amateur films? Even the wonderful West German actor Klaus Kinski, who played Dr. Daniel, perceived only as a piece of furniture.

The android Max is developing a curiosity in the opposite sex with the innocence of a child. Dr. Daniel has his own interest in the woman that has landed. He wants her to simulate an orgasm for an android he is working on. The two collide and the result is unexpected.
This movie has a very relaxed atmosphere for the most part as it is set in lonely outer space. The characters,especially Max, are quirky but agreeable. I find this movie very relaxing to watch.

Don’t agree with your review. This is a B movie, for sure, but a little gem in his own right. The actor playing Max is great, the end funny and unexpected, and the great idea of his learning of humanity through the old movies that fascinate him has not been forgotten. Ridley Scott ripped it off for his pitiful and shallow Promotheus.
