Cinema Cycle - Eve of Destruction


CINEMA CYCLE
(Cardio Workout And Reviewing Movies At The Same Time)

Eve of Destruction (1991)


DATE REVIEWED:


FORMAT: Laserdisc

TIME RIDDEN / FILM LENGTH: 101 minutes

DISTANCE RIDDEN WHILE VIEWING: 24.9 miles

TOTAL CINEMA MILES LOGGED: 7865.1 miles

SYNOPSIS: A cloned cyborg goes rogue and starts killing all the people in the inventors past.

CONCEPT IN RELATION TO THE VIEWER: Violence and sex combined into an interesting plot with poor production values.

PROS AND CONS:  This film sort of begs to be remade with better effects and detail.  The plot was actually interesting, in that you could not tell where it was going and it kept you guessing.  

However, there are glaring issues with reality and continuity in this film.  Top military leaders don’t have flowing locks that touch their collars and ears.  SR-71 Blackbirds (supersonic spy planes) don’t have seating for twelve.  You get the idea,  Good idea, bad execution.

That said, it was fun to see what happens when an attractive scientist imprints her cyborg double with her memories and then the cyborg goes haywire and starts killing all the folks that the scientist has in her repressed memories.

This film was viewed while exercising on my recumbent cycle.  A summary of my time spent working out on my journey through movie-land can be found on Strava.com.
