Kyle Baxter (Ethan Randall) is a teenager who plays very well a video game called `Evolver'. This game was developed by Dr. Russell Bennett (John de Lancie). He wins a competition of Evolver where the prize was a robot similar to the game. What nobody knows is that Evolver indeed is a war machine with artificial intelligence. Therefore, the friends of Kyle are playing against a dangerous weapon. Although being a very predictable and forgettable movie, Evolver really entertains. It has some good special effects and a reasonable thriller. My vote is five.

A teen game wizard, Kyle (Ethan Embry) cheats in order to win a contest. His prize is the A. I. robot of the title.

At first, EVOLVER is a "cute" novelty, playing games with Kyle and his friends. Of course, if it stayed like this we'd have another SHORT CIRCUIT on our hands. So, EVOLVER soon becomes a stealthy -if clunky- killing machine!

Terror and death ensue.

If you enjoy killer robot movies like CHOPPING MALL, then this should be a thrill. The cheeeze factor is through the roof, making it a terabyte's worth of fun!

Co-stars John de Lancie as the robot's creator...

The plot has been done many times. AI gaming robot with a secret military subroutine. Hmm? I could start a list. You could do a lot with that with CGI and real actors. Here, there's no CGI (yet), so we have toys and stop motion and bad acting, and unfinished characters, and a primitive Robby the Robot concept from the 50s. The whole movie looks 1980s, not 1995. It almost looks like a high school comedy, but turned dark. I couldn't empathize with any of the characters, and kinda wished all of them had been done in. It's also in 4:3 format. I had my fingers on the FF.

Want to play? I sure do after watching this movie. Ethan was amazing and I wish he was in even more films! His cameo in the walking dead did not disappoint and neither did this movie. The only thing I wish I got more of the locker room scene, the butts were hella tight ;) If you've ever played mortal combat imagine that but with a robot that says sweet one liners. I know it may never happen but im still holding on for a reboot or should I say robot!

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.

Mark Rosman's best movie is this highly guilty pleasure from the mid-nineties. True it's a pretty insubstantial horror film with crappy special effects & highly predictable story, but seriously how can you hate a film that features Q creating a murderous robot with the voice of the Shameless William H Macy? And the family that 'wins' it in a contest. This one has a few very quotable lines as well. It's MUCH better than the similarly-themed "Brainscan" at least. But one note: This movie goes better with alcohol

Eye Candy: 2 extras are topless when evolver goes on a spy run in a locker room

I was born in 87, grew up on video games, watched a lot of schlock movies, I can't believe I had never even heard of Evolver until I stumbled across it a week ago. I was like the prime audience for this, would have loved it as a kid.

Evolver was a perfectly fine piece of low budget 90's schlock. Edgy video game kid, goofy friend with loose morals, meat head bully guy, attractive girl aggressively stalking kid who plays video games, killer robot. A perfect storm. I think some of the problems were that it was heavy on the swearing which would hurt it's distribution for kids, and at the same time the kills were kind of weak and bloodless. There were some truly creative moments, like the laser cage, but the kills were mostly lame.

Definitely check it out if you're into cheap-o 90's b-horror geared at edgy thirteen year olds, it a fun watch.

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.

I thought this movie was entertaining and for the most part kept my full attention. There is a lot of computer talk, so if computers aren't your thing then you might search elsewhere. Basically, a kid whose excellence at virtual reality games grants him a free robot named "Evolver". Well, Evolver goes nuts and starts killing people. The story is fun to follow, with characters that are easy to follow and interesting. For the most part, cheesy dialogue but that is expected. Enjoyable little sci-fi gem, check it out!

I don't see why people dislike this movie. Probably the same people who watch movies only for special effects (i.e. The Matrix) This movie has alot of entertainment value, especially if you're into Robotics,Virtual Reality or just plain Sci-Fi/Horror.

*** 1/2 out of *****

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.
