I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Very Cool!!!
At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Sure it is basically silly, but it is silly for little things, like the unrealistic violence and not silly for the big things like the seeming odd business with the 'dolls'. Also, if you are one of that strange breed that cannot enjoy Melanie Griffith, then you might as well stop reading but for the rest of us this is an intelligent (but sometimes silly) look at the nature of gender. The main problem here is that such is the degree of firepower that there would be nobody left in a very short time and that our leading man keeps stressing that it is the true love element that keeps him fixated on his 'doll'. The music of Poledouris is most effective and stops the film from slipping completely into 'B' movie territory but the main reason we stay with this likeable tale is the relationship between the two leads and the supposed hunt for his 'true love', a plastic doll with extremely realistic robotic functions. Endearing (but sometimes silly).
Kinda corny. It could be part 2 of Blade Runner 2049........lol
A road-movie and science-fiction film, which has become a cult film, that is funny and entertaining despite the downs.The film has a great inventive and a good premise, and the characters are, a priori, quite attractive. However, the script is badly developed, the acting is pedestrian, and the special effects are very cheap, so you end laughing at he result, not getting engaged by a futuristic story. In other words this looks like a spoof movie, instead of a sci-fic one, which is what pretends to be. If the movie had been presented as a comedy, and not taken itself not so seriously, I would certainly have rated the film higher, as I laughed more than with many comedies.The cast counts with a very young Melanie Griffith in the role of the naive but daring E. Johnson, and with David Andrews as the sexy-hero Indiana-Jones of the future Sam Treadwell, who don't seem to have any chemistry on camera and do not shine in their performances. However, I found Pamela Gidley good and believable as robot Cherry 2000, and Jeniffer Mayo deadpan hilarious as Ronda.Sometimes we need to eat a gourmet dish and others we fancy a burger. Well, this would be the burger!
Mild-mannered businessman Sam Treadwell (a likable portrayal by David Andrews) hires rough'n'tumble ace tracker E. Johnson (a delightfully feisty Melanie Griffith, who looks great with fiery red hair) to take him into a dangerous region known as the Zone in order to find a replacement model for his beloved Cherry 2000 android (the extremely cute, bubbly and enchanting Pamela Gidley) after the original blows a fuse. Director Steve De Jarnatt does a sound job of creating and sustaining an engaging lighthearted tone, offers a really funny and funky depiction of an oddball future where romance and intimacy have become exceedingly rare commodities, stages the action set pieces with considerable verve, further spruces things up with a fine line in amusing sarcastic humor (the group of blithely loopy and lethal happy health freaks Sam and E. encounter in the Neveda dessert are hilariously terrifying), and gives the picture a certain quirky quality that's impossible to either dislike or resist. Andrews and Griffith display a pleasant chemistry and make for attractive and appealing leads. Tim Thomerson almost steals the whole show with his marvelously batty turn as crazed and charismatic psychopathic cult leader Lester. Moreover, there are bang-up supporting contributions by Ben Johnson as amiable old-timer Six Fingered Jake, Harry Carey Jr. as doddery fuddy dud Snappy Tom, Michael C. Gwynne as sage robotics expert Slim, Brion James as no-count hood Stacy, and Robert Z'Dar as menacing behemoth Chet. Michael Almereyda's witty script delivers a trenchant critique of gender roles and sexual politics, with some interesting stuff about the lack of communication between both sexes and an inspired inversion of the standard action movie cliché with a tough chick protecting a wimpy guy. Jacques Haitkin's slick cinematography gives the film a bright look and makes nifty occasional use of vertical wipes. The lush and lively orchestral score by Basil Poledouris likewise hits the stirring spot. A cool little flick.
