Eagle Eye vs. Wall-E

I watched Eagle Eye earlier this week (which I found utterly unbelievable and unneccesarily laced with gratuitous profanity) and thought "Isn't the ami computer in this movie (ARIIA) basically the same computer as the movie WALL-E (Auto Pilot)?" You be the judge.

ARIIA - a round structure, suspended from above, with a glowing red eye in the center, trying to override human commands.





Auto Pilot - a round structure, suspended from above, with a glowing red eye in the center, trying to override human commands.

Actually they are both homages to a much older computer, HAL9000 from the film 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Plus, looks like the turret's from portal and both the scanners and Dog's face from Half Life 2. It seems to possibly be a tribute to the HAL9000 or based around that concept.
