Opinions on Cherry 2000?

I won't waste my time (or yours) by writing down what happens in the movie, since most of you probably watched it.


I personally really don't like the movie because before watching it I read the first paragraph of the plot section on Wikipedia. So I thought it would be a quirky romance movie where Sam is going to get his gynoid wife in working order again. However, although that technically did happen, he left her in the middle of the desert and hooked up with the redhead, going on about "real girls." Bleh! It really annoys me that Cherry wasn't a much bigger focus of the movie, with Sam remaining faithful to her till the end.


I'm curious to know what your guys' opinions on it were. I know that there is a fair amount of you who only want to have gynoids to order around, then fuck and break them. I'm not that way. I like romance. I wish I could be a gynoid wife/gf, serving my man, while being shown love and gratitude. I would want to be protected and carefully maintained, instead of broken and discarded, as it ends up being the case here in this movie. Obviously, I do appreciate the parts of the film where Sam and Cherry are at home before she malfunctions, the scene with the mechanic, or when the new chassis gets reactivated. But that's about it. The movie still makes me really angry.

I had a lengthy response that disappeared because the site went down. In short, though.

1. I love the first part, especially when Cherry struggles to be human and malfunctions. I think those are classics and it helps that other people have used the sounds in manips.

I would love a sitcom that was Cherry and Sam.

2. I've only watched the movie at most a few times. In other words, not a big fan.

3. I think a big factor in why people love these old movies so much is that there wasn't a lot of content out there. Heck, when I first discovered Gynoid Gallery in 1998 I started looking for the movies on the site. I even took some trips to the next town over to see what their video stores had that mine did not.

Given number three I think some of us view these classics with a whole heap of nostalgia.

Makes sense. There isn't a lot of gynoid content out there and it gets rarer the more particular you are with your tastes. Personally, I'm attracted to AIs of all kinds. Embodied or disembodied, female, male, or genderless, doesn't matter. But I believe I'm in the minority here, most likely.

And yeah, I would love a sitcom that was about a human man and his gynoid wife. Would be really fun. That said, I'd prefer if Sam had more of a personality. That performance is quite wooden. Cherry's good, though. She's cute and says endearing things. I love it when she says "Aww. Pretty," "Who are these people anyway?" "I'd rather be watching this on television," her whole thing about what those 5 or so items had in common, and her telling Sam that she loves him, especially when she tugs at his ear. But that last one is also heartbreaking because he proceeds to leave her in the desert. Genuinely the worst ending of a movie I ever saw.

This.

Growing up in the 80's, simply seeing the inclusion of any kind of fembot, where she was the focus of at least one scene, was a rare find.

I don't find much of anything else about the film appealing otherwise.

I honestly think it is one reason why I like some much of the content put out today. I still have the mindset of being happy when a fembot even appears in something.
