Cherry 2000 (1987)
7/10
Vastly under-rated obscure sci-fi.
24 October 2003
Warning: Spoilers
This little-known, under-rated, obscure little film packs a lot of entertainment value.

A 1987 production, directed by Steve De Jarnatt, and starring Melanie Griffith, David Andrews, and Pamela Gidley, "Cherry 2000" goes highly unnoticed and unsung in the sci/fi field. However; I cannot say why, as this movie is extremely well written and extraordinarily entertaining.

When Sam Treadwell's robotic companion breaks down, he goes in search of an exact duplicate in which to install her memory chip, and continue his life. He hires Edith "E" Johnson (Griffith) as a tracker to find her, and together they begin their journey into "The Zone;" a danger-filled jungle of a city in which Treadwell finds the ideal replacement for his Cherry model 2000 love.

It is not just a science fiction classic, but it is a tremendous love story, and a marvelous work of writing. The acting left a bit to be desired, but this little-known work of art is definitely more than worth seeing.

It rates a 7.4/10 from...
