Blu-ray Review – Cherry 2000

It doesn't take a detective to figure out which decade gave birth to "Cherry 2000." It's a film about the hunt for a replacement sex robot, offering a post-apocalyptic setting that favors pastel outfits, RPGs and Uzis, and displays futuristic cars that drive on three wheels. The feature doesn't hide its production era very well, but it remains an engaging romp around the shattered society formula, with director Steve De Jarnatt ("Miracle Mile") using imaginative designs and a taste for stuntwork to bring "Cherry 2000" to life, despite an iffy premise that doesn't initially suggest a slam-bang actioner to come. There's encouraging personality to the movie, which isn't encumbered by a minimal budget, working out its own version of mayhem in the Nevada desert, with enough chases, shoot-outs, and explosions to keep the effort alert and, at times, wildly entertaining.
