Imagination.. Heart..
Very few sci-fi's have this much heart and this much story packed into a beautiful movie.. So how can I describe Cherry?
Cherry starts out like every good story and builds up to it, by first establishing the universe.. a post-apocalyptic world (or sum such) where recycling is important, new fashions are in play and sex robots are possible and people (at least from the characters point of view) have to have contracts to date/copulate
Cherry then shows us one of the first *real* female action hero's (basically Tomb Raiders Laura Croft v1.0) and some great desert and action sequences that are widely unpredictable and done well
All the while this stories carries on with credibility and imagination, Cherry 2000 is one of the most successful B movie sci-fi's ever accomplished it's these kinds of movies that give me hope to see more.. I personally love and still love a lot of 80's movies and 80's style we have yet to recapture in our let's make it all more real setting.. I'm not saying that gems aren't still made today they are; they've just been rarer to find as of late..
Since Cherry is a special vein of movies all its own it's important we list e'm - Mad Max - The Road Warrior (this one is very special) - Dead-End Drive In
What I can say about Cherry after multiple viewing maybe 5-7 now in my lifetime since I first caught in cinemax or one of the movie channels one night.. is that's its very, very special..
That the story is so good that it can play catch-up or compliment movies like "A.I." another one of Kubrick's unfigured out masterpieces..
Normally I would say this movie is 7/10 but I'm upping my vote to 8/10 for now do to shear appreciation of this movie vs. some of the crap we have been getting these past 2 decades.. (note of course sci-fi had a great few years from about 1997 to 2001)
On my last viewing this time I noticed again how good Basil Poledouris score compliments the movie.. (and there is some noticeable re-use of Conan in there but all composers even the great John Williams seem to re-use in part some of their stuff)

How exactly do movies/series like this gain dedicated fanboys?
Where, were you for farscape?
This movie and or show reminds me of Stargate another crazed fanbase.. that doesn't have much imagination..
What throw some sex in? Make it a western and it's the most awesomess show ever!
Having watched some of the show I can comment and or say.. I was very put off by watching a western where they crossed a river in a wagon and then pulled out sophisticated weapons when they were attacked by horse wranglers..
Let's see.. we have technology to travel to the stars.. but these poor folk in the middle of nowhere transport stuff like the omish?
I'm sorry, sci-fi fans.. this show and or series sucks.. the movie was mediocre with not much imagination and nothing new.. Why is it you fanboys can't rally behind ground breaking good stuff?
Why do you rally behind so much bad out there.. (obviously we all have our own tastes) but this show and Stargate are so non sci-fi and so cheap it's shocking to see you get this crazed.. 27,000 10 votes.. you people are nuts..
Why I don't like this movie and or show? Boring, not very imaginative (the whole dead world bit wasn't bad in the movie), not great acting, popcorn movie
Is this movie watchable? Yep, once.. (don't expect much.. okay visuals)
One word to sum this movie up? yawn
Recommend? If you're desperate for sci-fi, yes this or the show.. will cure you a little.. I'd put Wild, Wild, West the series higher in imagination though
