I've been looking for a recently released movie for streaming
called The Sex Trip. I've seen trailers in English and IMDb states
it's an American production... However, the only known legal
streaming services accessible in North America are Russian Dubbed
versions.
Does anyone know where there is a legal streaming platform that has
original English version? Here's a link to Danish Blockbuster page
of the movie. Unfortunately I cannot purchase it, as there appears
to be a region blocked.
https://blockbuster.no/filmer/the-sex-trip
Any advise or insight would be greatly appreciated.

The first places I looked were YouTube, Amazon, Vimeo, iTunes, and
IMDb. But there wasn't any promising leads. Blockbuster is the ONLY
legal site that I CAN confirm sells the English copy. Like I said,
Russian version are quite easy to find.
What's more the movie's website is down, so it appears that the
English version cannot be easily purchased by North
Americans...ironic as the production company is American. :-/

Would a proxy ip override the region block? Change the IP to the
right region.

I'm sure it could allow me to register for the site, but that still
leaves the problem with purchasing the product. As far as I can
tell that Blockbuster site only accepts Danish currency.
That's the main issue here. The normal channels for digital
distribution in North America doesn't have this movie (in English).
So I'm trying to figure out what legit vendor accepts international
currency or at the least cryptocurrency for indie movies such as
this one?

Trust me the sex trip ins't worth watching. I have seen the movie
on youtube.

So Bodyswap1, you're saying you've seen it in English? Or at least
English CC?
All I've seen on YouTube is the Russian dub. The movie may not be
worth it, but I at least want to be able to watch it in a language
I know.

My two cents on whether the movie is worth it. It has the same
overall plot structure as Sam (2015), which itself is derivative of
Switch(1991) somewhat. The plot is the same for both those movies,
however the acting in those movies set it lightyears apart. Switch
is more engaging thanks to stellar performances, Sam however is
not.
Now as for The Sex Trip movie, the Russian Dub is really not
A-lister material. However, I've seen the actress Jade Ramsey who
plays the protagonist in The Sex Trip act in other movies, and she
can definitely act! She has this saucy British accent and brings a
lot of charisma onto the screen. You can still see some of that in
the Russian Dub in her body language, facial expressions, and
mannerisms. I want to give this movie an opportunity to impress or
at least entertain me, and that's why I want to watch it in the
original English.

Is anyone on the forum from one of those region locked countries?
Send them crypto or international currency for them to buy it with
their own currency.

Hi Valkan, I'd like to stay out of such informal exchanges if I
can. Let's just say that I'll consider it a last resort option if
there's no alternative vendor to procure or rent a legit copy of
the movie. I wanna see if people on this forum have spotted any
other options.
I'll add that I also checked Netflix just to be sure. No dice. But
I kinda already figured it wouldn't be on there since this is very
niche and indie.

I found another website that is a legal vendor for the English
version of this film.
https://www.plejmo.com/en/movie/17401/the-sex-trip/
I was able to sign up to the site, I was even able to purchase
credits for the site, however for some reason the site wouldn't
allow me to purchase/download the film itself even with a VPN Proxy
on. They must have a special tracker on their site or something...
I'm just so frustrated that a bunch of Scandinavian countries,
where English isn't even an official language have access to the
English version while we in the USA and/or UK (actual English
speaking countries) cannot even purchase it. How! How the heck is
that even possible?
And, is there anyone who can help me get this...is there no other
legal options out there just to watch the English version?

I watched the Russian dubbed version of Sex Trip, and after that I
don't need the English version. I liked Sam a lot, and the basic
plot in Sex Trip is the same, but it develops in a much more
conventional and timid way. A good tg film deals with the emotions
of a shifting orientation, and SAM does that well.Click to show spoiler

Dan303, can definitely see where you're coming from on this. The
plot of the The Sex Trip isn't original and I think it was put into
production shortly after Sam came out, so it's clearly a ripoff at
worst and a spoof at best. It's even advertised as a Rom-Com, so it
isn't trying to win any drama or performance arts awards.
On paper Sam is definitely the superior story. However, I don't
believe that a movie's entertainment value is made entirely by the
writing or plot. Sam is the inferior movie in terms of
cinematography, especially post-production editing of the scenes.
Some of the jump cuts and scene changes are so bizarrely put
together it's plain jolting and draws attention away from the
story. The actress playing the protagonist, Natalie Knapp I
believe, is also somewhat annoying to watch. I think I'd have
enjoyed the movie more (aside from the random jump cuts) if they
choose a different actress, or at least had Natalie dial it down a
bit.
In The Sex Trip, I believe that the acting or performance carries
the movie. The actress, Jade Ramsey, who plays Edna is not just a
pretty face, she CAN act. Like I said before, I've seen some of her
earlier works before. I guess you could say that as a fan of hers,
I just want to see the performance as the production originally
intended, in English (i.e., with her voiceover). For me, Jade
carries this movie. None of the other actors really stood out in
terms of body language, mannerisms, and facial expressions. Like I
said, even with the Russian dub, her performance somewhat still
shines through.
Most Russian Dubs of English movies are just piss-poor at best. So
here I am hoping for some help finding what I'm looking for -- just
some decent entertainment over the weekend.

I don't get this weird fixation against "changing back" ending that
some posters in site have.
This annoying bunch of people is no different from the people that
get angry whenever the villains defeat the good guys at the end of
a story. It's ok if you PERSONALLY don't like that, it's fine.
What's not OK is that using YOUR personal weird fetish as a
yardstick to judge the quality of the work as a whole.
Personally I like that most movies end with the character changing
back at the end. They learn the lesson, becoming a better person,
it's time to change back. If you like "stuck" ending, there is
enough works in Fictionmania to satisfy your fetish.
Of course, that is purely my personal taste. I don't use that as a
yardstick to judge the quality of a movie, unlike some posters on
this site.

Supi,
I prefer the character not change back, it is a let down to me if
they do, it reduces the quality of the movie for me, and I voice my
opinion on that.
Quality - the standard of something as measured against other
things of a similar kind; the degree of excellence of something.

From: guest (Guest01)

Supi, in general I agree with the point you made about changing
back for the protag. However, I cannot be too sure...but I don't
think Ed/Edna learned his/her lesson, other than a woman's broken
heart(?) The Russian Dub complicates things for interpreting the
plot, but it seems Ed is still his playboy "ladykiller" self by the
end of the movie. The whole point of being turned by the
Witch/Sorceress was for him to be taught a lesson. Him changing
back and still acting scummy feels random and robs the story of any
thematic depth.
Like I said The Sex Trip story falls short, but the acting and
cinematography is top-notch in the B-movie range.

That being said, I'd really appreciate some help guys and gals on
getting info on where I can purchase a legit copy of the English
Version of this movie.
I don't feel too comfortable critiquing a movie without fully
understanding it. I mean, do you feel comfortable critiquing it
while only understanding the most basic elements of the plot?

I've watched both SAM and SEX TRIP (Rus. version) and Sam's
production values didn't seem noticeably bad, and Sex Trip's didn't
seem noticeably good. Acting? It is hard to compare, Sex Trip being
in Russian, but the characters in S.T. didn't seem genuine. In
fact, for what she projected, I liked Natalie Knapp better. And
plot does matter; something that is done right makes all the
elements of something that is done wrongly look the worse.
Natalie's Sam makes us feel good with her character regeneration;
Jade's character simply slips the noose of her punishment without
noticeable improvement. I didn't warm to her character very much.
This isn't a slam against Jade, it is a criticism of the shallow
and even pointless script she had to work with.

Avedo737. I hear you. Good for you finding points to enjoy. That's
the purpose of entertainment.
So does ANYONE know how to get the English version of TST? I REALLY
want to find a way to fully enjoy this movie. :-)
