Eve of Destruction

Rating:
Summary: Hot 'Bot!
Review: Eve is a veeery realistic-looking android babe with some nifty military hardware including a hot bod, and a nuclear bomb. What a woman! But when things go awry in her testing phase during a bank robbery, Eve winds up lost in the big city. Now, the rescue team, which includes the real (human) Eve and Gregory Hines, must find and disarm her before she goes "kerblooey." Of course Eve is programmed to protect herself at all costs, and virtually any-sized problem she is presented is met with her own brand of "Six Million Dollar Man"-esque ultra-violence, resulting in the destruction part of the film's title.

Summary: EXCELLENT FLICK
Review: Great movie. Very underrated. The scene with the policemen in their yellow rain slickers gives me a big woodie!

Review: This DVD is better than the Terminator series of films starring our new governor.

Summary: Fun Movie, DISGUSTING BOX ART!!! TOTALLY WRONG!
Review: This'll be short and sweet.
The late, great Gregory Hines plays a government agent tasked with tracking down and neutralizing an android that unbeknownst to him packs a nuclear payload as a last-ditch defense mechanism. Fine action scenes and some funny lines from Mr. Hines make this a fun movie to have--I have no problems with it at all along those lines...BUT:
Who in their demented mind designed the DVD cover art for this edition's release? There's NO hint at all of a biological storyline in the film...what's with the person in a gasmask on the front? Also, the tagline at the bottom about predicting an Al-Qaeda attack on NYC three years before it happened is PLAIN AND SIMPLE BAD TASTE (aside from also being untrue). Whoever thought re-vamping the original box art (with Hines and an image of the android on it) to this lame attempt to make buyers think the movie has 9-11 relevance should be FIRED. It's one thing to grossly misrepresent the content of your product, it's entirely another thing when you go so far as to try and use an international tragedy as an eye-catcher to make money. As an EMT and Red Cross rescue worker, I personally take offense to this, and whereas I used to be looking forward to owning this DVD, I will now be most happy to hang onto my old video copy--I urge anyone with a conscience to do the same.
Movie: thumbs-up
Everything else about the packaging: SHAME ON YOU.
