Ever since I saw the preview of Eagle Eye, I had been telling my wife that we should go see this movie. After watching the movie I felt the storyline has been shown before. The topic this movie is trying to discussed is nothing new, how good things/technology may go bad and the conspiracy theory on the government collecting data.
This movie to me seems to be a merge of the story plot of Terminator and enemy of the state.

I think the Shia is playing his usual role again, a carefree teenage boy with some wits. He did showed a little more range of emotion in this movie than he was in the Terminator (did not get to see Indiana Jones 4, so can not comment on that.)

Michelle play well with her part as well, but to me, her character is not as memorable. If you asked me to summarize what is special or unique about her character, I really can not say anything except that she is playing a very typical single mom who will do anything to save her son.

The next few paragraphs will contain some spoiler, so if you have not seen the movie, you may want to skip reading forward

.....

There are few questions that doe snot seen logical to me.

1. Why does Shia has to read the sentence to unlock the project. Eagle Eye seems to still running with the project. If the point of the project was to kill the president, the machine was still carrying out the plan.

2. If Eagle Eye could have kill the Guard with a crane, why can it kill Shia the same way?

Overall though, it is not a bad movie, is just not as great as I would imagine.
