It's true that this Direct-to-dvd B-movie definitely "Punches well above It's weight" & managed to be more fun & entertaining that those terrible soulless "Bay-Formers" films that cost ridiculously millions & are utter crap!!!!
"Eyeborgs" is a Sci-fi flick that fits in with films like Will Smith's i,Robot & Tom Selleck's Runaway & Paul Verhoven's Robocop & Danny Glover's Predator 2 & even James Cameron's Aliens & Jamie lee Curtis Virus, there's probably alot more flicks that "Eyeborgs" fits with & what i felt when watching it.
Imagine a world where Smoking is banned!!! That future world is here in Eyeborgs & i loved it for that.
In a future America there are droids/robots everywhere that watch everything & everyone & record everything, they are controlling society & this type of techno paranoia is very real & that's what makes this film relevant & exciting.
Adrian Paul (90's Highlander t.v series) is well cast as the lead government Agent investigating into some suspicious murders that may have been committed by the very robots that are supposed to be protecting us.
There's also a real heartfelt & human drama within this special fx spectacular Sci-fi Thriller & that's with Adrian Paul's sad & troubled Agent "Gunner" as we find out his wife was murdered & his son kidnapped & that horrific event led to the use of Eyeborgs everywhere to catch those types of horrendous crimes & Adrian is a solid actor who gives a nice quietly brooding sadness to his character. Eyeborgs gives us excellent performances & characters we actually care about!!!
Megan Blake & Luke Eberl are great & deserves a mention here too along with Adrian Paul & Danny Trejo.
Eyeborgs gives a sense of the danger of how we're relying too much on technology & how at the same time we want to have privacy & what is this technology controls everything we see or think we see? Conspiracy & paranoia is at the centre of this movie, if the robots start thinking for themselves & it becomes a Conspiracy to take over humans would we seem paranoid if we spoke out loud? Adrian Paul has some decent moments where he starts to wonder & is ridiculed by his colleagues for even thinking that. Eyeborgs is like a distant cousin or even a companion piece to Will Smith's i,Robot in my opinion.
Also we get the Awesome character actor legend Danny Trejo in a really good little role as a paranoid & technophobe repair shop owner named G-man. It's always great to see Trejo's rugged face pop up in films & i just love his gravelly voice & screen presence.
The special effects are excellent for a low-budget B-movie production & actually look really impressive.
I liked the techno-paranoid feel to this movie & it did remind me of i,Robot & Robocop & i liked that about it.
With excellent robot creatures & a decent cast & a smart story & a nice slick look, this little B-movie is an absolute treasure amongst all the usual crap that gets dropped straight on to dvd.
Major Respect to Director Richard Clabaugh for what he accomplished here with the budget he had to work with & you can feel that passion within the movie. Slick Cinematography too that gives it that futuristic feel & excellent & thrilling action sequences.
Eyeborgs is such a damn Cool movie.
Eyeborgs is one of those rare "Gem" flicks & an excellent piece of science fiction fun.
