Isaac Asimov is one of the most famous and celebrated scientific authors of all time, part of the "big three" of the golden age of science fiction along with many influential authors Arthur F. Clark and Robert A. Heinlin. Asimov worked in the genre "Heavy Science Fiction", which means science with a focus on scientific accuracy.

Asimov's biggest and most famous works are those in his series "Foundation", which deals with the history of the crumbling galactic empire, and his series "Robot", different stories of robotics and their relationships with people- Two series that Asimov eventually merged into one continuity. But Asimov was also just a very fruitful writer, which told more than 500 books, including hundreds of short stories. Many of these are adapted to the screen, including the popular and successful adaptation of Apple TV to the Foundation and the less popular and successful film versions of "I, the Robot" and "Bickenden Man".

Indeed, most of the adaptations of Asimov's writings are based on his stories - because they do not have the complex and fairly complicated backsters and orbuses of his books, A problem that the "foundation" solves quite gracefully. Such is the case with underestimated and mostly forgotten techno-thriller in 2008 starring Shia Labeuf, who united with director DJ Caruso after a similarly underestimated "disorder".

The film is "Eagle Eye", a thriller ahead of its time, followed by JerryRry (Labeuf) and Rachel (Michelle Monahan), as they are forced to run and become the most sought -after refugees in America after unintentionally became a fog in the plot in the conspiracy. The film was loosely based on the short story prematurely "all the problems of the world" by Isaac Asimov.

Initially, Steven Spielberg, who was inspired by Asimov's story and came up with an idea of ​​becoming an "eagle eye" in the early 2000s, and was originally intended to direct the film based on the Dan McDerman script. When Spielberg became too busy with "Indiana Onesons and the Kingdom of Crystal Skull", he dropped out of the project and produced the film instead, while DJ Caruso, who directed episodes on the Spielberg TV show "High incident", became the director.

In the original story of Isaac Asimov, the Multivac supercomputer gives more responsibilities to the point that it practically leads the whole planet - solving economic, social and political problems. Problems begin when Multivac is tasked with resolving crimes specifically before they happen. In the end, Multivac reveals a crime that confuses all investigators, and even the government - the one where the goal is the multivac. The machine simply became extremely tired of all the problems in the shoulder world and decides he wants to die.

Now, if that sounds a bit like a "report on minorities", you'll be right, which makes sense that the story would inspire Spielberg, given At that time he worked on that adaptation He thought of the idea of ​​an "eagle eye". Unfortunately, Eagle Eye skips the robot with an existential crisis in favor of a thriller for a state -run era, with a story of a machine that decides to move away from the government after the covered operation has resulted in the loss of American lives.

It's a fun movie, the one reminiscent of the Hitchcock movies and the plot thrillers in the 1970s, but the addition of a supercomputer that views your every move has become just timely since the 2008 Eagle Eye release. After all, it would not be by 2013 that Edward Snowden revealed that the level of government oversight programs in the United States and Europe.
