In the year 2017, "Sam" (David Andrews) is in love with the perfect woman -- who happens to be a "Cherry 2000" (Pamela Gidley) model android. She cooks for him, cleans for him and is a life-size, interactive blow-up doll for him. One night, things get hot and heavy, and they don't notice that water is spilling onto the floor in the kitchen. The water causes a short circuit, ultimately destroying the android's internal systems. "Sam" decides that he will get a replacement of the same model, but soon learns that getting it is not easy. He has to go into some badlands, known as "Zone 7," to find a rumored android graveyard since the "Cherry 2000" model is outdated. "Sam" eventually finds a crimson-haired tracker known as "E Johnson" (Melanie Griffith), and she agrees to take the job as long as he goes with her. However, they cross paths with a group that live in the Zone, and get on their bad side. Now, the two have even more problems to handle. I have to say this first, this is a pretty lame movie. There is little adventure, lame comedy, very little action and poor chemistry between the characters. Griffith is too cute for this role. "Johnson" can handle a weapon, but she is not a toughie at all. She hovers too close to being a good girl than a tough girl. Andrews is completely boring. According to Yahoo Movies, this was the third movie in his career, and his inexperience clearly shows. In fact, it sounded to me as if his voice was dubbed over by another actor. Or, possibly, they had a major audio problem with him and had to do a voiceover for him in the entire movie. One thing that makes this worth watching is Tim Thomerson, who plays the leader of the villains. He is as close to perfect as a man who is clearly more than a few fries short of a Happy Meal. Unlike Griffith, he is able to go back and forth with his character "Lester." At times, he is pretty sane, but most of the time he's nuts. Thomerson should have shown Griffith how to split her character's personality like he did. Another problem is with character development. The worse development is that of "Cherry". For most of the movie, we only hear her voice coming from a little black box that was taken out of the first android and will be placed into the new one. It is obviously suppose to be a recording, but does nothing for the title character. Other characters have very little development as well. There is also only fair chemistry between Griffith and Andrews. The script did a horrible job with their relationship. In fact, about 2 minutes after "Sam" and "Johnson" meet, I figured out that they would get together at the end of the movie. The action scenes are not that great either. There are explosions and gun play, but none of it is spectacular. You can really tell that the budget in the special effects, not to mention the whole movie, is really low. This movie is not one of the best movies you can see. I would suggest that you catch this on HBO or on On Demand when it's in the Free Movie section. It's one to forget.
