“I, Robot” meets “Gremlins” in the sci-fi action-thriller Eyeborgs, “a smart, ambitious, and fiercely independent slice of science fiction” (DVD Talk) starring Adrian Paul (Highlander), Megan Blake (The Opposite Of Sex), Luke Eberl (Letters From Iwo Jima; Planet Of The Apes) and Danny Trejo (Machete; Predators) alongside an impressive array of fantastic scene-stealing surveillance robots with ideas way above their station.
In the wake of another devastating terrorist attack, the United States government passes the “Freedom of Observation Act, a law requiring all communications and surveillance cameras to be constantly monitored for national security. Helping to enforce the new law are the Eyeborgs, mobile surveillance robots that can track suspicious persons wherever they may try to hide. Now everyone is under the constant watch of ODIN, the Optical Defence Intelligence Network, an all-seeing system that never sleeps, never rests and never stops “looking out for you.” But what few people realize is the Eyeborgs are authorized to do more than just watch. If an Eyeborg witnesses a crime in progress when no other law enforcement agent is present, it can take whatever action is necessary to stop it.
Eyeborgs (cert. 15) will be released on DVD (£15.99) by Momentum Pictures on 20th June 2011. The trailer is at the link above.
