Nice effects though.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

As micke_rofon said here: (href="http://www.imdb.com/user/ur15937974/ref_=tt_urv)"...Superficial, action-packed and light story - take it for what it is!..."It wasn't meant to be a serious or realistic sci-fi show.I don't understand why people always put down TV Shows & Movies without taking in consideration the budget,time period, technology of the day, and other per tenant info.Cleopatra 2525 was made to be entertaining and not taken to seriously. it was purposely made to be fun and silly, yet they still managed to include morals and real life questions with out having to figure out whats going on . It allows you to be just entertained with out thinking to hard.Take it for what it is a show where the actors had fun acting in silly costumes, unrealistic tech and so forth. Don't think just enjoy the show as it was meant to be.If you like(d) Hercules: The Legendary Journeys (1995) or Xena: Warrior Princess (1995) or Babylon 5 (1994) or Andromeda (2000) I think you'll like Cleopatra 2525.

The antagonists in this series are robots that are exactly like the ones in the Terminator 2 and 3 movies. That said I don't think this series had a lot more going for it with the possible sexist exception of T and A appeal re the three starring characters being sexy women. Kind of like weekend entertainment for males in their 20s. Not evil, but kind of transparent.The fact that something like this actually was made is maybe not so great, and that is not to disparage the looks of the actresses one bit. Maybe Charlie Sheen was behind it. I can't think of anyone else who could take an idea this flimsy seriously enough to actually send it into production. The special effects are also not that believable, done in sort of cheap CGI. "Hard Core" fans of SF might buy the series sight unseen in DVD format, but I think they also might be fairly disappointed with it. They never should have created it.

Cleopatra 2525 is a very funny, entertaining show. You shouldn't take all the show seriously, but if you wanna have fun, that's your TV show. Being made by the producers of Xena is a quality guarantee, and Cleopatra 2525 isn't that different from Xena. The female warriors formula is brought to the future, where they don't have to fight warriors or gods, but dangerous robots which dwell in the surface, and the humans are forced to live underground. Along the two seasons of Cleopatra, they develop an interesting and funny underground world, and we get to know the three main characters: Cleopatra (Jennifer Sky), Hel (Gina Torres) and Sarge (Victoria Pratt). They all are different, but as a team, they work really well. The three main actresses appeared previously in Xena, like most of the regular/guest cast (there are some known faces from Hercules too, or from both shows). I specially liked the character played by Danielle Cormack (Ephiny in Xena), which is very different from any of her roles I previously knew. So if you liked Xena and Hercules, you'll love Cleopatra 2525. If you don't know them, try it: I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

As I have said before in previous comments, some programmes are there to be 'Light entertainment'. So I get somewhat frustrated when commentators seem to be expecting a program that will reveal the meaning of life, you will not get that from Cleopatra 2525 and it does not presume to offer it. What you get is a girl who was frozen and is brought back to life some 500 years later and her adaptation to this new life is realistic. She does not settle in within 10 minutes as what happens with other time travelling adventures and neither is she the female equivalent of James Bond ready to take on all comers.Cleopatra is overawed by her new surroundings and frightened by some of the weaponry on display as most of us would be. However it is light entertainment, the stories have a beginning a middle and an end in quick time and their are some surprisingly good moments of acting. The episode when there is a double of Cleopatra is particularly moving and Jennifer Sky I think gives one of the best performances of someone dying for a long long time, and being a film and television buff I know what I am talking about. Finally to prove my sincerity I have purchased all but four of the episodes and I am entirely satisfied with my purchase. The only reason I do not have the complete set is because I purchased the other episodes before realising that there was one complete box set. Victoria Pratt and Gina Torres complete the trio creditably and for light entertainment Cleopatra 2525 certainly entertained me.
