As paranoid cop Del Spooner, Will Smith (Independence Day, Men in Black) displays both his trademark quips and some impressive pectoral muscles in I, Robot. Only Spooner suspects that the robots that provide the near future with menial labor are going to turn on mankind--he's just not sure how. When a leading roboticist dies suspiciously, Spooner pursues a trail that may prove his suspicions. Don't expect much of a connection to Isaac Asimov's classic science fiction stories; I, Robot, the action movie, isn't prepared for any ruminations on the significance of artificial intelligence. This likable, efficient movie won't break any new ground, but it does have an idea or two to accompany its jolts and thrills, which puts it ahead of most recent action flicks. Also featuring Bridget Moynahan (The Sum of All Fears), Bruce Greenwood (The Sweet Hereafter), and James Cromwell (Babe, LA Confidential). --Bret Fetzer

5 out of 5 stars Awesome!!!   July 30, 2008
this is a movie you can whatch over and over, you will never get tired of the non-stop action. the whole plot in this movie is very intriguing.


4 out of 5 stars Necessary changes to the book, even if some of the ideas are simplified   July 27, 2008
Lets face it, I, Robot the Asimov text would not make a great film, even if it were a great book. This attempts to sew the ideas in that book into an all encompassing package.

On the whole, it succeeds. It is not perfect, but stands ahead of most of the superhero movies of the last 15 years and is up there among the better movies of the action genre. And Will Smith makes a good transition from comic to serious role.



5 out of 5 stars Very Entertaining   July 22, 2008
This was perfect sci-fi distraction. For the third movie I watched in a row today, it still fully held my interest, which I consider a testament to just how well done it is. Of course there is some extent to which all sci-fi is cliche after you've been following the genre for decades, but this movie manages to make the old new again. The dialogue was fun. The characters likable. The plot twists were sufficient to keep you thinking, but not so overdone you had to scratch your head and try to make sense of it.

There was even a healthy dose of food for thought, in terms of the nature of the sense of "self," how this develops, and what having one implies. Overall it delivered exactly what I was looking for in my final entertainment bite for a lazy Monday evening.



5 out of 5 stars Wonderful tribute to a great author   July 20, 2008
As a science fiction writer myself I can appreciate the creativity of this movie. Not only did it look good, the characters, including the robot, were real. Sonny had my vote from the beginning. It made your care more about the self aware robot than humans at times.

Fantastic imagery, directing and special effects.
Bravo!!
