Critics Consensus

Eagle Eye is a preposterously plotted thriller that borrows heavily from other superior films.

A warning about the threat in our own backyard -- but as often is the case with Hollywood blockbusters, the warning comes across more like fear-mongering than constructive social criticism. Personally, I prefer my cinema sans mongering.

What's galling about Eagle Eye is that it could easily have been an entertaining film without constantly yielding to the impulse to blow stuff up.

Did everyone involved in this botched thriller OD on speed?

Blends together post-9/11 terrorism paranoia with late 2000s technology paranoia for a movie that doesn't explore either theme in any sort of engaging way.

2/4

Some may be able to pull the plug on their sense of logic and enjoy the procession of inanity, but when it’s all over, the result isn’t nearly as interesting or as clever as it could be.

It's a film for people whose brains have been permanently muted.

The story relies on twins. This whole convoluted plan that requires everything to go right. The action sequences are cool but the story is dumb

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

So many Cliches Hal 2000 combined with Person of interest and includes the Golden Cliche of a bus load of School Kids touring the Whitehouse in jeopardy. Plenty of car crashes and explosions if you arent bored with that sort of thing. A Sad film with a good Idea ruined. Oh and the accidental bombing of a Funeral - Done better in Eye in the Sky. SAD SAD SAD

This movie is worth watching. Especially considering where AI is headed. Solid acting all around as well.

It’s was exciting and had some interesting ideas of how Super AI will work for 18 years ago, which didn’t get booted up until 2018. Some aspects have a lesson like how AI has hands. But SAI will have a different approach to controlling humans and using them to what ever its ends are. We don’t know, nobody knows. AI is grown not crafted, it’s like predicting how someone will grow up by analyzing their DNA at birth.
