Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

CommentsXp Best movie ever!

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Roxie The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

The Movie Diorama Another American remake that pales in comparison to the original, this time written by the same individual who wrote 'Snakes on a Plane'. Need I honestly say more? A blind woman undergoes a cornea transplant allowing her eyesight to return, but soon starts experiencing horrific visions. The primary premise is nearly identical to the Chinese original, where specific plot devices are replicated to precision such as the infamous elevator scene. However, all of the atmosphere, horror and thrills are removed to make way for a horrendously bland remake bolstered by an incredibly dull screenplay. These characters were lifeless. The sisterly bond between Alba and Posey was nonexistent and the forced romantic affair between Alba and Nivola lacked spark. Come on! Alba sure is a pretty fine woman but are you seriously suggesting you would jeopardise your entire career for a patient you've known for two days? There came a point where I thought "she's going to say it...hang on" and then momentarily she exclaims "I see dead people". I was done. From a ghostly boy endlessly searching for his report card to an elderly woman wandering hospital corridors, these spooky entities contained zero scares although accompanied with a few jolting jumps occasionally. Alba's performance was a mixed bag. Her attentiveness towards the blind acting was captivating, with minor details such as placing your finger in a cup whilst filling it adding much authenticity. Conversely though, her standard acting was wooden, flat and vapid. Fake laughs, fake smiles, fake pouts. So much fakery that you could smell it a mile away. The industrial accident was somewhat hauntingly beguiling and held my attention for a span of three minutes. The rest was just a wearisome experience. Needed to give my eyes a rest. Oh, that's without mentioning the constant blurry perspective that garnered me a headache. If you didn't like the original, this lifeless interpretation will certainly make you appreciate it more. Wait, you smell that? Yes, Alba's fakery still lingers...

sorinapha I'm going to preface this by saying that if you haven't seen The Pang Brothers' original film, The Eye (2002), please do, because it's the same plot but better.I watched this film not expecting much, so in that sense I guess my expectations were met, but all in all, this edition is too pretty, too shiny, and try as it may (if you could say it tries) to retain the emotional power of the original, it fails.Alba's performance was solid enough, and young Chloe Grace Moretz is adorable, but all of the side characters come across as self-interested assholes, especially the doctor, who we're supposed to like by the end of the movie, but still comes across as misogynistic and self-absorbed. Since I haven't read the script (and honestly, why would I?), I don't know how much of this was actor's choices and how much of it was in the script, but all in all, the combination of forced, cheap jump scares and average to bad acting made this movie sub-par.Was it a waste of time? No, not if you want to learn how to make good films by studying not so good examples, or even if you just want something to put on in the background while you do other things. But don't expect brilliance.

jimbo-53-186511 Sydney (Jessica Alba) ended up being blind at the age of 5 due to an accident. 20 years later she is given a cornea transplant which enables her to be able to see again. However, she soon starts to see things that other people are not able to and with the help of Dr Paul Faulkner (Alessandro Nivola), Sydney sets about trying to discover why she is seeing these disturbing images which eventually leads her all the way back to the donor of her eyes.I didn't realise (until I started watching this film) that this was a remake of a film that was originally produced in China. Although I haven't seen the original, I am a fan of Asian cinema and know that they are generally good at telling stories and usually do this sort of thing better than Hollywood - Oldboy is a good example of this. However, since I'm not in a position to draw comparisons, I'll stick to my thoughts on the American version that I've just watched. I quite liked the concept and found Sydney's initial journey of re-discovering the ability to see again to be fairly intriguing. The nightmarish visions at the start again add to the intrigue and set up what could have been a relatively suspenseful film.I think what really lets this film down is that in the second half it seemed to just become a rip-off of the Sixth Sense and it even has a touch of Ghost about it as well. I'm sure the phrase 'I see dead people' was used at one point. The scares that we see throughout the film are very clichéd, predictable and a little tiresome. The narrative is also a little repetitive as well.To its credit, the final third of the film offers some interesting twists and turns and the final analysis given by Sydney does certainly leave the viewer with something to think about. Ultimately, The Eye is watchable and I have to it that 90 minutes ed by fairly painlessly and it never really became boring. It's pretty poor as a horror film, but the concept and story are both OK. Now that I know that there is an Asian original film to this out there then I'll be sure to check that version out (if I can find it).

mickus1983 the storyline sounds stupid, but I thought I would give it a go.A women who gets an eye transplant and then begins to see aspects of the doners life. OMG who would even allow this to be created? Perhaps if they had of put some creative action into the plot, the movie would have got away with it, but they didn't.It was really really boring. I had to fast forward through most of the first part, and halfway through I ended up turning it off.It was just too boring.Between the dramatic "gasps" of the main character and looks of horror, there was NOTHING!!
