Too much like other movies
Terminator's Skynet has as sister with a Grudge and creates an Enemy of the State.
The trailer and the first half of the movie are probably the good parts. The moment you realize the villain is an overzealous, patriotic in a twisted kind of way supercomputer, things start to go 'blah'. It doesn't end well either ... I'm still wondering why the nameless soldier who helped shut down Eagle Eye was never shown as one of those people who got medals.
Given the premise, the makers could have woven a better story instead of churning out a movie that reminds one of Enemy of the State and Terminator, and fails to be memorable enough to stand out on its own. It's probably not the makers' intention, but all I could think about while watching this movie is "I just discovered Skynet has a sister".
