Eva (2011) Reviews
Familiar story elements combined in a slightly different way
Watching this reminds me of the Isaac Asimov robot stories because it feels like the world his stories were set in. There's even an allusion to the Asimov laws of robotics by stating that robots have to pass a safety test and the cat is illegal because it has free will. The effects are well done and the interactions look believable. The animation physics are slightly wrong in a couple scenes but nothing major. My main problem with the movie is that there isn't enough character development which makes the motives a little ambiguous. The main plot lines are tied up by the end but there's obviously more going on than is ever told. I get just enough to want to know more and that is frustrating. The sci-fi is light enough that I would probably recommend this to anyone even if they would normally skip anything sci-fi.
Amazing first feature film by Kike Maillo
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.
A quality sci-fi film
I haven't seen any decent sci-films for years. This one came as a very pleasant surprise. Interesting story, good script, well directed and excellent actors. I also enjoyed the photography. As the story unfolded, I was surprised that I was not correctly predicting the outcome. This made it even more enjoyable. I hate it when I can continuously see what's coming - so boring. I was also intrigued that a sci-fi film had been made in Spain. Not the sort of genre I would have expected. As a long-term British resident in Spain, I always find it a source of pleasure when, once again, a quality film is made in this country. Too many Spaniards do not value the excellent level that the local film industry can reach over here. Overall, a thoroughly well made and enjoyable film for any sci-fi fan, and even for any others who will easily understand the story.

Too beautiful for Sci-Fi
I've marked this review as containing spoilers because I'm afraid it might dis-guide you (and it will) or think differently about the way you approach this movie... and nobody deserves that! At least in not in this movie... But for a summary tag line, my only argument about this movie would be: "This is the first time I'm writing a review..." Should be enough, but still, this movie deserves more much more than just a pure emotional line from a very simple and common IMDb user... It's a beautifully told story about the old cliché "Robots vs Humans" (that one starts to think it's going to be) and the differences (or not) between them... It was the first time I was lead to believe that robots shouldn't be treated differently... and *****MAJOR SPOILER***** the movies final (awkward) seconds just try to prove it! (I must talk about the ending because most of my mates thought it was a bit too much... and it wasn't, it's there for this very reason!) I can only believe IMDBs poor user rating is due to the fact that Sci-Fi doesn't appeal the mass public... But its 12 wins & 28 nominations speak for themselves... and many more are to come...
