Avast, there be spoilers ahead in me post.

It was a decent flick. I wouldn't necessarily recommend paying full price at a theater to see it, but it's definitely worth a rental. My biggest issue with it was the cinematography. It's the same problem Transformers had: The director created this awesome fight between two gigantic robots, then zoomed in to focus on Optimus Prime's fucking knee join. It's a cool idea for a single shot, but for a ten minute car chase it's just annoyingly disorienting.

My other issue with it was how illogical portions of it were. If there were a super-intelligent computer capable of Big Brother-esque intelligence, somehow I doubt it would go through as much trouble as Eagle Eye's villain did. Once it had gotten the twin to unlock the Guillotine project, it would've just flown some drones over to the targets and blown them the hell up. But, that would have made a shitty plot, haha.

Overall though, the film was entertaining.
