Cherry 2000 shuttles between amazing stunt sequences and tongue-in-cheek villainy. To say the least, the center does not hold, although right at the end De Jarnatt conjures a genuinely fine moment as Sam needs to decide whether the feisty, messy E. might be more of a woman than his perfect android. That idea is a sci-fi chestnut, but in Gidley's blank delivery of "I love you," De Jarnatt gets an authentic chill going.
