Headlines

A couple of headlines -- they did film in Chicago, but apparently California later. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 21:49, 7 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eagle Eye Set Visit! —Erik (talk • contrib) - 18:38, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Your link to the Chicago Tribune turns up a blank page - clearly a conspiracy covering its tracks. Noaqiyeum (talk) 01:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"respectively"?

Eagle Eye is a 2008 action/thriller film directed by D.J. Caruso and starring Shia LaBeouf and Michelle Monaghan. The two portray a young man and a single mother, respectively

Who is honestly going to think Shia LaBeouf is playing a single mother...? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.36.40.112 (talk) 19:42, 26 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The word "respectively" means that LaBeouf portrays a young man and Monaghan portrays a single mother. --Pixelface (talk) 17:37, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Or that Michelle Monaghan is playing a young man. "...framed as people they aren't", the lead probably needs to be cleaned up to get rid of some of this silliness. TransOceanic (talk) 04:23, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

um

Kay, why was the part about the similarities to other films removed? It's a legitimate criticism... 74.37.159.6 (talk) 04:23, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

—We probably just need specifics. How about Colossus: The Forbin Project for a start— —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.75.158.4 (talk) 02:58, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Agreed. The similarities to other films should definitely be mentioned. Rip off/homages - like the concert ending to Hitchcock's The Man Who Knew Too Much - should be noted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.201.152.211 (talk) 04:08, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

death to super computer

should it not be mentioned somewhere that Perez eventually defeated the computer herself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.93.242.200 (talk) 22:42, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've just watched this and i think that it was amazing. It was probably the most intense on the seat film i've ever watched and i absolutely love the happy ending. So aside from the epicly excellent film, do you want me to help with this page? I've got the film on my laptop so i could take pictures. Also if you want me to refine details then i can.

Plot hole

Maybe I'm slow, but this film seems to have a gigantic plot hole. The whole plot revolves around the supercomputer maneuvering Jerry into position to 'unlock' the supercomputer and allow it to follow through on its plan. But everything that the plan requires to execute the coup is either already in place or occurs prior to the unlocking. If Jerry got shot in the face in the first scene, everything else would have happened as planned. This film is retarded. Jherico (talk) 02:53, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Introduction

Is talking about the "corrupted artificial intelligence system" not giving away too much, especially in the introduction to the film? If I remember correctly that is the punch line of the whole movie..? Fp8 (talk) 13:29, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Similar to Portal?

Doesn't the super computer with a female voice that gets destroyed at the end sound similar to the video game Portal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.83.84.121 (talk) 02:26, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other similarities include having an advanced AI with a spherical "eye" and computerized female voice going rogue and killing off it's creators. The AI also instructs the main character what to do, and discourages/threatens them from deviating from her instructions. I have not heard if Portal has been an influence on the film, but it's interesting to note the similarities between the two. 71.231.69.53 (talk) 11:28, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

All the Troubles of the World

Did anyone else see the connection to Azimov's All the Troubles of the World?

RE: Edit about filming

I recently added the edit claiming that the film shot a scene on New Jersey Avenue SE in Washington, D.C. and that Democratic National Committee staffers were notified as such.

This is, indeed, a true statement as I was working there at the time the e-mail received and still obtain a copy of the e-mail from the head of the Human Resources at the DNC.
