A road-movie and science-fiction film, which has become a cult film, that is funny and entertaining despite the downs.
The film has a great inventive and a good premise, and the characters are, a priori, quite attractive. However, the script is badly developed, the acting is pedestrian, and the special effects are very cheap, so you end laughing at he result, not getting engaged by a futuristic story. In other words this looks like a spoof movie, instead of a sci-fic one, which is what pretends to be. If the movie had been presented as a comedy, and not taken itself not so seriously, I would certainly have rated the film higher, as I laughed more than with many comedies.
The cast counts with a very young Melanie Griffith in the role of the naive but daring E. Johnson, and with David Andrews as the sexy-hero Indiana-Jones of the future Sam Treadwell, who don't seem to have any chemistry on camera and do not shine in their performances. However, I found Pamela Gidley good and believable as robot Cherry 2000, and Jeniffer Mayo deadpan hilarious as Ronda.
Sometimes we need to eat a gourmet dish and others we fancy a burger. Well, this would be the burger!
