Cleopatra 2525 (2000–2001)
6/10
campy sci-fi TV
2 February 2017
It's the year 2525. The earth's surface has been taken over by machines called Baileys. Mankind has been driven underground. Hel (Gina Torres) and Sarge (Victoria Pratt) fight the Baileys under the directions of the mysterious Voice. They barely survive their comrade who turned out to be a Betrayer robot. At a mutant medical shop, they save Cleopatra (Jennifer Sky) who is a stripper cryogenically frozen in 2001 after a botched boob job. With their reprogrammed Betrayer named Mauser, they survive the labyrithium underground world of mutants and dangers like Joker-esque villain Creegan while fighting against the machines up above.

This is a campy sci-fi TV. The premise has good potential with a dose of Terminator along with some wackier sci-fi. The execution is campy with scattered humor. Jennifer Sky tries her best to be fun with pop culture references. She ends up with a lot of squealing. Victoria Pratt is all about her abs. Gina Torres is solid. The half-hour format allows the shows to be a quick flashy action meal and the hour-long episodes do drag a little. Overall, this is stripper-tastic but it's by no means good. The sexy trio does keep one's attention and that reworked 2525 theme song is hella catchy.
