Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater

hyped garbage

What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.

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

Proto-Species with a robot instead of an alien - only even more cheesy, if that's possible! The dual female role was a mistake... I know they're meant to have the same memories and emotions, but that doesn't mean they need to LOOK the same! It insults the audience to think that they won't get the idea unless there's a red jacket to let them know she's dangerous."Nobody will ever put you behind a door!"RUN TIMMEH, RUN!"The longer it goes on, the more it loses sight of the line between enjoyably silly, and stupid.

The movie was a box office disaster when originally released, but found a second life on VHS and DVD. It's been largely ignored over the years, partly because it's rarely shown on television.Eve VIII (Renee Soutendijk) is a deadly android created in the image of her maker. After years of research, the machine is sent out on her first test mission. Things go horribly wrong when she's damaged and short- circuits. Now, Eve VIII is maiming and killing anything it perceives as a threat. Terrorism expert Jim McQuade (Gregory Hines) and the android's creator must track it down before she goes nuclear.I remember seeing this little slice of cheese in theaters when it first came out and often wondered what happened to it. It's not a great movie by any means. However, if you're looking for some additional cyborg fun after exhausting your copies of all the "Terminator" movies, look no further. The best way to describe this is as the "Terminator" if Arnold Schwarzenegger was replaced by a middle-aged blonde in a mini-skirt and high-heels.The late Gregory Hines does a wonderful job playing the no-nonsense terrorist expert assigned to track down Eve VIII. He marches around convincingly with his oversized pistol wondering why they didn't give the android an "f@3!ing off switch." Renee Soutendijk portrays both the doctor and the Eve VIII robot, switching back and forth from panic- stricken to emotionless, seductive, and angry. The movie really gave the actor a wide range of emotions to bounce through in her first American role.The movie is rated R for strong violence, language, adult situations, and nudity. it really feels like the boob shots in "Eve of Destruction" are needless and tacked on to tantalize male audiences. They don't help to further the story or plot, except to show that Eve VIII looks real in every way. I still don't think they were necessary to get the point across."Eve of Destruction" is a perfect example of the sci-fi movies audiences were getting in the early and mid-1990s. It fits nicely next to such cult classics as "Mandroid," "Nemesis," "Hardware," and "Universal Soldier." Is it as entertaining as "Terminator 2: Judgment Day" or "Total Recall?" Of course not, but it still has its place in the Museum of Schlocky Genre Cheese.

Mediocre sci-fi thriller about a renegade android, Eve VIII(Renée Soutendijk)who malfunctions when she is shot by a bank robber while on a mission. Her creator, Dr. Eve Simmons(also Renée Soutendijk)designed the female android with the same facial characteristics, while also transferring memories, thoughts, and feelings from herself. Those memories reoccur in Eve VIII's mind and she reacts violently. She is very dangerous because, she is a nuclear threat as well. Equipped with a machine gun, this android has to be stopped because she is also very powerful with the ability to toss men across rooms and in the air with ease. The secret government group funding the Eve project enlist the aide of Colonel Jim McQuade(Gregory Hines)with expertise in anti-terrorism, to somehow stop the malfunctioning killer android before truly dire consequences erupt. Many innocent bystanders, and a few profane undesirables, will cross Eve VIII's path and suffer the consequences. The film shows how Dr. Eve must assist McQuade in his efforts to find and kill her creation(a shot through the eyes is the way to down it). The android targets Eve's father(for the murder of her mother which returns in a memory)and later, in the film's harrowing climax in the New York subway, her son.The film owes a hell of a lot to the really good leads who work well off each other. I've always felt Hines had a strong presence on-screen, very easy to like and charismatic. He takes what could've easily been a dull role and injects life into it. I like his character because he's sympathetic to Eve's cause, yet looks at the dire, difficult situation they find themselves with a levelheadedness. Renée Soutendijk, I thought, was very impressive in this film..having to portray two different characters while making both of them different than the other is an outstanding accomplishment. I give praise for her work in such a rather unextraordinary sci-fi actioner. Pretty much by-the-numbers, but the leads keep it interesting.Kevin McCarthy has a cameo as Eve's now old-aged father.

Awesomely underwhelming tale of a scientist who designs a female robot, half WESTWORLD half TERMINATOR, modelled on her own personality, emotions and thought-processes.Sometime Dutch actress Renee Soutendijk, whom one might unkindly describe as Lee Remick's less attractive sister (on a good day) has her hands full when EVE turns feral and runs amok. Gregory Hines, hopelessly miscast in his role as a Wesley Snipes PASSENGER 57 type operative, heads up the chase to defuse Eve with Ms Soutendijk's somewhat reluctant help.Looking rather dated these days, especially by 90's standards, the film gets nowehere at a remarkably slow pace leading up to the subway climax which at least heralds the end of the movie!Yawn.....next please?
