| 'Eve of Destruction' (326 words) |
 | Eve of Destruction" is not, as its advertising suggests, a tech-driven "Bride of Terminator" but more of a psychological driller -- "Two Faces of Eve" dressed up with cheap techno-babble. |
| Eve VIII's rampages are all directed against men, particularly authority figures, husbands and fathers, and we eventually learn why through flashbacks and other clumsy explications made to Gregory Hines as the anti-terrorist colonel chasing Eve down. |
| The last half of the film has Hines looking for 57 ways to deactivate Eve VIII before she goes nuclear, which has one benefit: The last 15 minutes are accompanied by screenwide shots of detonator clocks, so you'll have a really good idea of just when this bomb finally goes off. |
