n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Although a little nasty in some scenes, Mark Rosman's "Evolver" is mostly a fun romp. It focuses on a computer whiz (Ethan Embry) who wins a robot with whom to play laser tag, only to find that this particular robot got designed for an army program, and is therefore intended as a killing machine. Specifically, one that never loses. There were a few scenes that I think that they could have done without, but otherwise the movie is pretty enjoyable. Maybe a little predictable, but no one expects much else from one of these movies, right? Also starring Cindy Pickett (the mom in "Ferris Bueller's Day Off") and William H. Macy as the voice of Evolver.

I'm one of those guys who enjoys pretty much any movie, so I guess I don't count. There are some things that struck me as stupid, but what could they do? CDRs didn't exist at that time, so they had to fake it. Still, the fact that they stuck what amounts to a CD in a floppy drive and faked reading it. The effects were great for the time, and are still decent. Back to some technical errors. Now, it IS possible to boost a laser to the point where you can burn things, but the power of the laser goes down as the distance goes up. Which means that if you put one up against a magnifying glass or something, the magnifier would melt. Also, boosting the power of a laser would not change the color. But still, it was a more than enjoyable, in my humble opinion.

First I'd like to point that I don't consider this a sci-fi movie and therefore I won't judge it like sci-fi. This is more like a teen movie with a slight cyber twist. A distant reminder or titles like "War Games" (more sci-fi) and "Hackers" (more teen and harder to swallow for me as a IT professional). The plot is based on an idea similar to "War Games" - a machine that eventually turns bad, due to inappropriate/biased programming, but here we have also some teen movie elements like boys/girls locker room, teen relationships, etc. I want to point out the good cast of the movie. Cassidy Rae as Jamie Saunders was perfect. Also excellent and very convincing performance from the others. All in all a good and professionally made movie very entertaining and highly recommended if you like this kind of "cyber-teen" movies. I give it 10 out of 10.

I saw this on the sci-fi channel 1 day & thought it was cool. So I decided 2 buy it & I thought that this was a cheesy but cool sci-fi flick. Ethan Randall(at the time, now its Embry) is a whiz at the Evolver game & plays a tournament & wins the 1st made EVOLVER. He is the ultimate in electronics but then goes beserk & starts killing. It has suspense but its more Sci-fi. This was when Ethan R. was getting 2 b more noticed. Its worth seeing if u like chessy movies. I say, give it a look.
