The Girl from Monday (2005)

Synopsis: In the future, sex will be monitored and encouraged through a system of points assigned to persons who practice it. A resistance movement appears. In a parallel subplot, an entity from a distant planet comes to Earth and takes the form of a woman; she is looking for another person from the same planet who came to Earth long before.

Appraisal: It's kind of watchable, but I honestly do not see the point of it. The plot has a lot of elements which were only barely sketched, and do not relate well to the rest of the film. It looks like it was conceived and executed in a hurry. Either that, or this is a new kind of spoof where you have the clichés of sci-fi dried out and mechanically concatenated in such a way that you wonder whether what you are seeing is the work of a professional or rather that of a 14-year-old with a video equipment and some actors at his disposal.

Rating: 30
