Eagle Eye yi yi

A conspiracists paranoia should create a reasonable amount of interest in indulging themselves with the technological apocalypse that we find ourselves on the verge of. We are always monitored in some way shape or form by those shadowy figures that claim to only do so to keep us safe. Safe from what? Ourselves? Or as we find out, inevitably the ones who wield all of the power. The most interesting as well as terrifying aspects of the movie revolve around the ease that an entity can invade our everyday lives, anywhere, through the means of our abundance in technological surroundings. You really don't want to believe it as did the characters in the movie, however, you find out quickly there isn't much escape. So with a promising premise, we unfortunately take a ridiculously common and predicable turn. With movies such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Event Horizon, War Games, etc. we find that we become the victims of our self-indulgent creations. Overshadowed by the action sequences and the insertions of scare tactics in regards to our lack of control of our private lives, we still boil this movie down to a super-computer gone wild. Ok now that is a trademarked term, and I thank you not to steal it. I implore Hollywood to deliver on the promises they make vis a vis the movie trailers. The movie is for the most part palatable, but becomes a bit redundant toward the end. It may not influence you to turn your cell phone off, but it will make you think twice about crossing that giant super-computer who can destroy your life. Wait for Eagle Eye as a dollar rental.
