My POV
Storyline: 4
Acting: 5
Graphics: 4
Action Scenes: 5

If it wudnt be for the sucky and sudden ending, i'd give the storyline an excellent 5. The part where ARIA got destroyed was so easy peasy and like Helen said, why go thu all the trouble thru out the movie? Needless to say, i was on the tip of my toes watching it, coz every turn of events in the movie makes you wonder and the curiousity in you get so intense you juz cant wait to see how it all relates and end. Sadly, the ending hit you without even knowing the dilemma's over. It's shocking how technology runs things these days huh? Shia really grew from being in a kiddy series from Nickelodeon to being a Transformers star and now he really pulled off his stun in Eagle Eye. Michelle Monaghan needless to say is one HOTMAMA! And im really glad they din't hook up and make out in the end coz that would juz seem so wrong. Come on, a young dude with a mommy? The director was smart enuf to not shoot a cliche ending. In short, a MUST watch movie of 2008.

I give it a 4 of out 5 for this movie.

In my personal POV.
Storyline: 2
Acting: 4
Graphics: 5
Action Scenes: 3

The storyline was really hard to figure out, i cant make up the creatures with wings and how they relate to the story. But i'll give props to the well earned EXCELLENT graphics. Action scenes werent that bad as well. Tho i was mostly anticipating more of the slow-motion gun shooting battle scenes. And to top it all of the Cast of the movie.. First and foremost, Mark Wahlberg films are undoubtedly "looking forward to's". He has style and Mila Kunis, the chick from "That 70's Show" is stunningly hot and temptatious when she goes all brutal and violent in the film. A short glimpse of the new bond girl Olga Kurylenko especially when she goes topless. A lil treat for the boys ey? In short, Hands up or hands down, a MUST watch for the sake of the graphics.

I give it a total of 2 of out 5 for the whole movie.
