    StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
    NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
    KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
    Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
    Shari A crazy spin-off for guest stars of Xena, so I watch. A stripper who's cryogenically frozen to the future? A little off, but I watched anyway. It really was a 1 hr show in 1/2 and hour and it crewed it up. They finally gave it an hour because Jack of all Trades was dumb. still liked it even though it was silly. It had potential. Someone said the things that controlled the surface's ship looked like the female repro system. I ad to admit it did and it's about time. Most of those things look like phallic symbols in other shows, what a shock. Jennifer Sky played Amarice on XENA, V. Pratt played Cyane, and Gina Torres played a variety of people on XENA and HERCULES. They deserved some air time, lol. It's cancelled now, but I liked it.
    skeptic1222 Everyone I told about this show (especially females) was most skeptical of its quality (to say the least), but quality is one thing Cleopatra 2525 had in surplus. After watching an episode or two however they began to see that this was much more than simple "eye candy" for men, this show had depth. Women are shown to be intelligent, powerful, and excellent leaders in this show more than any Sci-Fi series at the time. This show should be seen by all women for its pure self-esteem boosting qualities (my wife loves Sarge), "girl power" is in full force here (apologies for the cliché). Many people that thought the show was silly or degrading to women probably only saw the commercials for it, or a few minutes of the actual show (if even that) and never gave it a chance. The show had a "pure Sci-Fi" storyline which never drifted into the paranormal (i.e. always had a science explanation without ghosts, esp, god, etc.) which was a breath of fresh air in the midst of the many idiotic shows of the time that turned to the Paranormal to explain their plot devices. As an example, when someone was "out of phase/invisible" and could walk through walls the writers went to great lengths to explain why they didn't fall through the floor to the center of the earth (ever hear another Sci-Fi or Paranormal show even try to explain that). All the villains had motives (known or unknown) and were never presented as simply `evil'. This show had great storylines, characters with depth, unique and creative set designs, gadgets, and special effects to die for. The means of transportation was a blast to witness (shaft travel) as well. The actresses were not just extremely attractive, but extremely talented as well. This was the ONLY show I made a point to record when I would be elsewhere, and I can proudly say I never missed an episode. My wife loves the show as well, although she can't stand the theme song and tries to make me mute it. The series unfolded in a way I have not seen since Babylon 5 (another great show, but a bit on the Paranormal side of Sci-Fi) another of my favorites. The entire series was building up to a spectacular revelation, but was cancelled for reasons unknown (after constantly being moved to increasingly inconvenient time slots that is). I can't help but wonder that if the PR for the show emphasized the Sci-Fi qualities more than the attractive women (and attractive though they are) they might not have given so many the misguided ideas that probably led to the changes in time slots, and ultimately cancellation. I give Cleopatra 2525 a 9 out of 10. Cleo, Hel, and Sarge, you will always hold a special place in my Sci-Fi heart. >
    PBXBear Something about a future Charlie's Angels with a kick makes this show hopelessly fun and addicting. Though Jennifer Sky is POINTLESSLY annoying as her character. Victoria Pratt and he other co-star make it worth watching. In order to make this show better it should be increased to an hour, remove Jennifer Sky completely and extend the story plots and the show would be much better. But as far as trash TV goes, it's stupid and fun. And again, why would one be addicted to watching this??? Hmmmm...
    baikal Now this show deserves some creadit for demonstrating (very thoroughly) what a REALLY BAD show is all about.I can't believe this mindless piece of c**p ever made it to the screen! And this is at the time when some really excellent shows, like "Roar", were never given a chance.So what do we have here? A pretty moronic plot, no script to speak of, bad acting, cheesy special effect and an overall odor of vulgarity. No redeeming qualities whatsoever, as far as I can tell. Really, this one makes "Battlefield Earth" look good!
