Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Fresh and Exciting

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Why it took me five years to discover this movie, I will never know. I do know that that classifying "Eva" as sci-fi genre (that is how Netflix classified this movie) does a disservice to this movie, the director and the actors. This movie cannot be classified simply with a genre or sub-genre. So much more went into the making of this movie than just CGI. The ability of the characters to bring you in, and hold you completely captivated by their words and actions, is amazing. I am a big fan of sci-fi and I love good CGI effects. "Eva" has just enough of the futuristic qualities to to make the story completely believable. Here and there, you will see subtle CGI that is perfectly placed during the story line, even the position on the screen making the point come through. It is perfectly timed to remind you that this is the future and these people are real. In some ways, "Eva" is a love story. It has deep emotions, desperate heartache, unfulfilled longing and a profound sense of loss. You will feel all these emotions for all the characters. There is simply no one way to describe this movie. Each person watching it will have their own take-away. Each person will identify with a certain aspect of the movie, whether it be the plot line(s) or the characters, or the cinematography, or even the special effects. My guess is you will love Eva.

This is the kind of amazing sci-fi fairytale movie that can never get made in corporatised Hollywood. I loved it, even the overly simplistic robot "programming" by dragging and dropping emotion modules. The hard part would be creating those emotion modules in the first place. I loved the characters in this movie, the acting was superb and the script was excellent. I loved moments such as the flirtatious android secretary near the start. Major Spoiler: Sometimes I am looking for twists, but in this movie I wasn't analysing the plot too much, mainly because I was distracted by the plot hole of the unrealistic robot tech. I wasn't alert to the clues, in particular the extremely clever hint that Alex's prototype robot reacted in a similar way to the emotion-recognition tests as the girl had earlier. The movie has similar themes to the excellent AI, though this movie had much more warmth and AI had a final act that weakened it. If you liked Eva, a darker, obscure movie you should see is One Point O

i loved this movie! so clever and understated. i think American directors should see it and learn that special effects can be used without being noticed. I must admit that the plot in some parts was confusingalthough i have been reading science fiction for many years i had difficulty to understand some of the logic. i can't say more without making a spoilerit is not clear to me how the rating system on IMDb works all (exept one) reviewers loved the film ,still it got only 6.5 rating. this is not the first time i have enjoyed a movie that got 6.0 rating and it undermines my dependence on IMDb rating as apparently the rating is not to be trusted

I watched this film today at the movie theater. The film is beautifully acted and directed. I am very glad to see that in Spain we have new filmmakers able to work within the film industry and still make a great film in the cinematographic sense."Eva" is far more profound than the trailer or the publicity may suggest. It is a deep reflection on human nature and identity. But, and here comes the surprise, it is not a so-called intellectual film.The film is very well done, and it is an example of a new wave of European cinema that is producing great films without necessarily big fireworks. Keep doing the good job, Kike.
