Dean S. @DeanDFW Dec 27, 2025 Dumb. Just dumb. And 1980s fashion 🤪 See more Mark F @RT37250310 Aug 28, 2025 Not the worst Terminator rip off, so if you like B movie action with a sci-fi concept you should enjoy this. Its biggest let down is the distracting score, often doesn't fit with the scene and has a sort of jaunty, bouncy clarinet thing (Seinfeld-esque) going on when it's meant to be tense or dramatic.

When the robot is damaged during a bank robbery, it accesses memories it was programmed with by her creator. The memories used, though, are dark and tragic ones. The robot is also programmed as a killing machine if anyone tries to stop her mission. Colonel Jim McQuade (Gregory Hines) is tasked with eliminating the unstoppable machine. With the help of Dr. Simmons, he tries to outthink the intelligent and emotional robotic doppelgänger... The film received negative reviews from critics. Vincent Canby gave a negative review in The New York Times, calling the film "an undistinguished, barely functional action-melodrama." (Via Wikipedia) I saw "Eve of Destruction" back when it came out and I had forgotten about this film. It's partly a clear rip off of "Terminator" and you can see other films shining through in the storyline. This is not Gregory Hines proudest moment, but to be honest I thought it was better than I expected. With that I do mean better in a b-action movie sense of a way. All in all ok for what it is. Nothing more, nothing less. Trivia: The movie opened with $2.5 million. It finished its run with a total of $5,451,119 against a $13 million budget, making it a box-office bomb.

The writing & acting were good enough to keep me interested every moment! Have no idea why it got bad ratings. See more Oct 24, 2015 So bad that it is good. A classic! See more Read all reviews
