  1. Fabulous mental escape. It's fun and playful, rather than dark and foreboding. And there doesn't seem to be an original cyber-bone in the movie's body. But it's put together in a fabulous package.

    Although Sonny is computer generated, Tudyk supplied his voice and body language -- provides the story's emotional core, an irony Asimov would surely have appreciated.
  3. If you see it, the sequel will be your fault.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In the long run of movies, this is one of the best. It's got everything a good movie needs: Character development, action, psychology, a good story, loopholes, trauma, good acting, and a big twist ending. OK, so good movies don't need all those things but I, Robot had them all. It's like a Chris Nolan film except not as dark and complicated and psychological (It was still psychological but not as much as Chris Nolan). My favorite part was probably when Spooner was driving his car and the trucks came and got in front of and behind him and started releasing robots that jumped his car and completely annihilated it, but the climactic scene where the robots burst through the ceiling and they had to shoot them was awesome too. I think that the character of Sonny really got my attention because every second he was on screen, he was developing his character through his emotionless dialogue. For example: "I think it would be better not to die, don't you, doctor?" The way he said it emotionlessly, yet somehow passed the fact that he was sad was just one element that added to his character. I also think that Spooner has a good story regarding his paranoia of robots and his arm is worth while too. In the end, Vicky's logic was, yes, "undeniable" but at the same time, unfair as robots are robots that need to listen to humans. If they don't we all die, which is a lesson learned for the future: if a robot says no to you, scrap it. I also liked Lanning's theory of robotic evolution, that robots would group together instead of standing apart. I think Will Smith had some nice remarks too. Expand

  2. The movie's motives and premise is simply one of the dumbest things I've seen since the Ed Wood era. That is why "I, Robot" is a well ended movie, but with a terrible start. Expand

    i-robot is just so terribly awful. Patronising and childish. It is well known that many movies are aimed at the lowest common denominator (about 12 years) to create the most income. The way to enjoy this movie is to be a little toasted on pot, that way everything will be impressive and the lame plot will be a surprise. So, if you are stupid or about 12 years you may like this movie. Expand
