Tockinit not horrible nor great

Manthast Absolutely amazing

FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Mabel Munoz Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

FlashCallahan Eve is a military robot made to look exactly like her creator.When she is damaged during a bank robbery, the robot begins to use more of the memories she has been programmed with by her creator, the dark, angry ones.She becomes a killing machine if anyone tries to stop her.A tap dancer is assigned to stop the robot and with the scientist who programmed her tries to think what she will do next....This was the original Terminatrix, back in 1991 there were only two cyborgs, Arnie and Eve. Guess who is the least remembered? What I didn't get was just how serious the tone of the film was. Imean the film is basically about a nuclear bomb that gets frustrated when its called a certain word that is derogatory toward women, this should have been hilarious.When Hines shows up, I thought, this could get the ribs tickled now this guy is in it, but he looks really angry through the film, and ruins the camp feel it should have.Rene however you pronounce her surname, is really grim in this, at times I couldn't tell who was the cyborg and who was the Doctor, she was that wooden, and it's surprising considering shes so good in Spetters.But, it's a cyborg movie, a nuclear bomb cyborg movie, and it deliver that typical cheesy nineties action you expect.Yuppies get owned, hillbillies lose parts of them, and eyes get shot out by Hines, so all is not lost.Early nineties video stores were rife with his type of film early in the nineties, this one wasn't that bad.

perkypops The premise of this film is how robots, complete with comprehensive copies of human minds and with immense strength, power and armament, may deal with the darker parts of their copied brain. Renée Soutendijk gets to play both the human creator, Dr Eve, and her robot copy named Eve VIII, and pretty juicy parts they are to play too, poles apart, and every good actors dream role. And a pretty good job she does too, never too overplayed, never too crude, just subtle.When Eve VIII escapes and appears to go on to blood letting of extreme proportions we are treated to some insight into the darker parts of Dr Eve's mind, at first to titillate and then to hunt the errant robot down. And it is not badly done either. Okay some of the dialogue may be a little comical or flawed at times, but the underlying tale is always watchable and that is what films are supposed to be. Tension is ratcheted up nicely throughout, and the ending is almost as good as one would expect from this kind of B movie genre. It certainly puts to shame many much more hyped up pieces of the sci-fi genre around on the circuits these days.Worth a watch and six out of ten.

DigitalRevenantX7 WARNING: Contains plot spoilers.Eve VIII, an experimental military android, is taken to a downtown bank on test manoeuvres. But the android is damaged after being shot by bank robbers & goes on the loose, trapped in Battlefield Mode. Colonel Jim McQuade, a top-secret anti-terrorist operative & Dr. Eve Simmons, the android's creator, are sent in to deactivate the droid before its built-in nuclear weapon is set off.Of the numerous synorg (synthetic organism) films that came out in the early 1990s, "Eve of Destruction" is perhaps the dumbest. As an action film, it is moderately exciting, with some good action set-pieces, most notably the scene where hero Gregory Hines tries to kill the synorg & rescue a child while a train is approaching them.But action scenes aside, the film's main problem is the script. You can ignore the idea of taking a military synorg into a downtown bank for a test run, but the android's design is extremely stupid – why build a robot with a built-in nuclear weapon that can be activated by something like a heavy impact, but without any security overrides or any off-switch (Hines brings this up in the film several times)? It just doesn't make any sense.As the synorg's creator, Renee Soutendijk is not bad in what is her first American film, but as the synorg, she is completely unconvincing – the scenes where she picks up guys in a bar before biting their genitals off, as well as ramming drivers off the road are so bad it's not funny. Gregory Hines is given lines that make him look bad.Note to aspiring mad scientists: if you're planning to build a synorg with a nuclear device, make sure you add in a safety feature to prevent anything going wrong, instead of having to shoot the droid in the eyes to deactivate it.

Brian T. Whitlock (GOWBTW) Averting threats are a common way to keep peace in check, but when it comes to a robot with a built-in bomb, there's going to be trouble. For Col. Jim McQuade(Gregory Hines), he's the man. The robot Eve VIII(Renee Soutendjik) has the memories of her creator(also played by her). However, she has the worst temper out of any woman you would cross. When she was with those rowdy guys. There was a bit of humor when she bit one of them on the "love gun". Rule number one, never reveal yourself to a lady robot. You just might get it! I know he won't be having sex for a while, OUCH! It was more painful to watch when she broke the other guy's arm. She was like that when she was going on the brink. She was much more dangerous when she started ticking. The only Achilles' heel on her were her eyes. And Jim had the laser sighted gun to use against her. The subway scene is one I'll never forget. Confronting EVE VIII, seeing the laser sight before her, and the subway train heading towards McQuade. The trains were computer-controlled and Jim's quick thinking always seems to be on his side. This movie has the action, yet it was very subtle. Very watchable though. 2.5 out of 5 stars
