Synopsis
In the year 2525, Cleopatra (Jennifer Sky), an exotic dancer from the early 21th century, wakes up from cryogenic slumber, only to discover a chaotic world where robots rule the surface and humans live underground as rebels. The confused (but sexy) Cleo joins two tough (and, of course, lovely) freedom fighters, Hel (Gina Torres) and Sarge (Victoria Pratt), and together the trio embark on a mission to free humanity from its mechanical overlords. Sci-fi adventure, comedy, and sex appeal combine to form this entertaining TV series from the creators of Xena: Warrior Princess. This collection includes the first six episodes: Quest for Firepower, Creegan, Flying Lessons, Mind Games, Home/Rescue, and Run Cleo Run.

3.0 out of 5 stars The whole first season, but no frills., 3 Nov 2002
By A Customer
Calling this 'Xena in the future' is a bit too simplistic, but that's the general idea - the plot revolves around three main characters - Hel (the leader, carries 'the voice' and is the most Xena-like character), Sarge (used to live on the surface, kind of idealistic but in a practical way, sort of a 'hard' Gabrielle), and Cleo (somewhat naïve, but has her uses...).

Yes, there really are a lot of sci-fi cliches here and many plot lines that seem very familiar, but in many ways that's the charm of the series. If you're a sci-fi pureist then you should look elsewhere for a series with plots that have a few less holes. Cleo is the writing of Xena in a sci-fi context - if you expect that and not a intricately planned story arc a la Babylon 5 or Star Trek, then you won't be disappointed. Unfortunately, the critics didn't see this, and tore the series to bits, which arguably led to its cancellation in the US. I've been told there were a few 1 hour long episodes filmed for series 2, but they most likely won't see the light of day outside the US or on Video or DVD - so this is in effect all there is.

Sub-30 minute episodes are a little short for weekly installments, so this works far better on DVD than it did on TV - you get much clearer character development and are able to get into the whole story more. It's just a pity there won't be any more of it :(

The picture quality of the DVD is very good, but the sound is only stereo rather than surround and is a bit fuzzy in places. There also aren't any special features at all (a picture gallery would have been nice...) and the packaging is a little flimsy. Still, the important bits are there.

i can never decide whether i like cleopatra 2525 or not. some episodes are good and others just suck. it is hard to have a consistant opinion. the lack of extras is also annoying.
