Moonbase, a 1997 sci-fi movie. This movie has that cool 90s sci-fi room design I love, and the little slice of life look into a imagined future is so cool. And of course more women in lingerie, or should I say robot?? And cool they have the space helmets that's in every sci-fi ever.

It's cool that type o negative is in the movie, at least I think it's Type O, don't kill me if it's not. I also need to point out that one of the helmets is always crooked and it's so annoying.
The movie was pretty alright, pretty average in my opinion.
