Such a frustrating disappointment

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

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.

"101 out of 10"? "Surplus of quality"?What!In the first case this show is so bad it has passed through the mundane badness expressed by shows such as is expressed in mundane, but watchable claptrap such as the later series of charmed. Comparing this show to Lexx, Star Trek or "Blade Runner" Is not only completely wrong, it is offensive to me, just as this show is offensive to television.Get a grip people, the only reason this show could ever be said to have a "Surplus of Comedy" is because none was put into the show itself. The premise was never a good one, believe it or not the idea sounding like something someone came up with whilst drunk does NOT make good television!! Admittedly the villains DO all have set motives, if not any actual character, but this motive is usually the same. (At least in the admittedly small number of episodes i have seen) I am in fact, as a fan of television, and an actor/writer, glad that I found the first series of Cleopatra 2525 in the discount video shop at the local market. It gave me new hope as I now know that anything I write is better than this atrocious pigswill.

The same producers made Hercules and Xena. They were both action shows, but with strong emphasis on the dramatic battle between good and evil. Cleo, on the other hand, is a comic book come to life. Sure, it doesn't have the deep, brooding style of story-telling its predecessors had, but it's not supposed to. It was designed to be a companion to the hilarious "Jack of all Trades" starring the great Bruce Campbell (known as "Back to Back Action").The Cleo woman are tough and strong, and yes, scantily-clad, just as comic book characters usually are. Unfortunately, some fans tuned the show out early because they took it too seriously. Understandably, the half-hour shows were dominated by constant laser battles and fist-fights. But the later shows were an hour long, allowing the characters to develop and grow. That helped build the drama and made the action scenes more effective.Having the "Cleo" character (Jennifer Sky) be an exotic dancer from today added contrast and humor. And I'm not surprised that Gina Torres and Victoria Pratt are on new shows. They are both fine screen presences. So, relax, enjoy the comic book action and don't take it too seriously.

It may be campy (as described by the New Zealand TV Guide) and at times the stories may be a bit silly but with three beautiful women as the lead actors it can't go wrong.Gina Torres is great as the team leader Hel, She has the presence and the ability to pull the role off brilliently.Victoria Pratt as Sarge (real name Rose ("they named us all after flowers")) has the body to play a tough and ready to fight warrior (She is in my opinion the most beautiful woman out of these three).Jennifer Sky plays the dim-witted stripper, Cleopatra, who after being frozen in 2001 is revived in 2525 to help Hal and Sarge fight to retake the surface.
