Depictions of severe eye trauma in movies really creeps me
out, whether it’s the grueling close-up of a splinter impaling an eyeball in Zombi 2 or the underground eye
replacement surgery in Minority Report. I’d quite frankly rather watch someone’s head
explode in slow motion. I suspect I’m
not alone in feeling that way. I also
suspect that director Ridley Scott realizes just how many people absolutely
hate the idea of anything foreign going into, or coming out, of their eyes.
