She's a herbologist in the future. Those fighting plants she grew were a security system to keep intruders out.

This is an interesting question. Maybe that's how efficient we will become in the future.

Because eye IDs are checked literally EVERYWHERE he can go. If he has those eyes, the cops will find him before he even gets a chance to sneak into the place.
>-Why is everybody (old lady, Tim Blake Nelson, Skarsgaard, >etc.) mugging like it is an SNL sketch?
This is what made it feel like a Stanley Kubrick film to me...the eccentric characters in scenes that are tangential to the plot.
