"In the year 2525..."
Yes, it might be the cheesiest show ever made, but it had good special effects for the time, still better than most series. If you watched them on their original run, they are worth their weight in gold for the nostalgia value.

There's something for everyone out there, or so the saying goes. Well this something really isn't for me. Based on Amazon's description I wasn't exactly expecting something hugely competent since it appears the main goal was to make the sexiest sci-fi on TV. While that may be a noble goal, there needs to be more than just beautiful women to really get me into a show. Sci-fi needs to seriously appeal to my intellect on some kind of a level, and this show does try that, I was just expecting something a little more. Anyway, I really snagged this because I saw that Gina Torres was in this show and she is also in "Firefly" and I really enjoyed "Firefly" and "Serenity" a lot. So I figured why not, this is probably half-way decent. Boy were my expectations still too high. I mean it is really cheesy, and maybe it's supposed to be because it's pretty goofy overall. I'm not sure, because it's mingled with very serious concepts and moments, so I'm up in the air for what the authors were really going for.
So, the premise of the show is that the Earth has been taken over by these machines called Bailies and mankind has been driven into the underground. As you can see this is a highly original concept. No one has ever thought of this before, certainly not in the Matrix. Things are a little less orderly with the human population in "Cleopatra 2525" though. So there are these Special Forces teams of sorts, kind of like in the Matrix, where they try to fight against the ... Read More

Very silly, but a lot of fun. This was a very fun show from (some) the makers of Xena. It is set in the future where Celopatra, after being cryogenically frozen after a bad b-augmentation job, wakes up and realizes it is the future and it is overrun by strange creatures. Humans live underground and her two new friends are sort of fighting for human kind. Many a reference to popular culture enter the show which makes it both fun an entertaining. A kinda cultish and fun show that was never really expected be long-lasting, it provided good silly humor.
The DVD contains seasons 1 and 2.

first of all i would have given it a 5 but i found out that the company leaves you wanting more at the last episode point is i watchied the show when i was younger same with jack of all trades fromat doesnt surprise to much but i do HATE double sided dvds and cds any the show is just how i remberd it when i first seen the series great action, comedy, scifi, kinda like the matrix in a away except instead humans being living batteries for the robots in the matrix story humans are drivin underground and forced to live underground until they can tak back the surface from teh baileys, and betraiers,.
spoliers
now for reason for 4 star rating ive watched the entire set and at the last episode they show humans and baileys fighting above ground but the series wasnt finished for some reason i was dissapointed when that was the last episode on the set who wins the final battle war the humsn aor the living machines they dont tell you or show you what happesn next i was dissapointed when the series wasnt finsihesd the right they leave wanting more with a cliffhanger which sucks if it wasnt for the end episode i would have givin it 5 star rating

More skin would be nice :) ....
Great stuff for just plain fun. I was a little disappointed that the extras were very skimpy, and the "Earth 2" episode a waste of time, but I did finally get to see the last few episodes of the series. It appears to have vanished around here a little early.
The girls are a delight to watch, and Jennifer Sky's character is more than worth the price all by herself.
I don't remember the music being changed, but I do seem to recall a short segment in the episode where Cleo gets cloned having a slightly different scene wherein the clone can't do some horrible thing or other because she's absorbed the real Cleo's "goodness". (Or maybe I glanced away....)
No regrets....
