  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.

    The effects, arguably the best of the year, only add to the thrill.

    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.
  4. If you see it, the sequel will be your fault.

    I wanted to see this movie since the moment I saw the preview, but I never did because my mom saw it and never took me! So I finally managed to see it earlier this week and I loved it! Expand

    If your willing to put up with awkwardness, you will probably love this movie.
  3. Do you enjoy sci-fi flicks, Will Smith, and great special effects? If you do this movie will provide you with fine entertainment. So go get yourself some snacks, a drink or whatever and enjoy this smarter than usual Hollywood production. Expand
  4. Has nothing to do with science fiction. This is just a generic, illogical action movie for the masses. They should not call it I, Robot. The acting is bad, the story is dumbed down for children, lacking the realistic vision of the future. Bad.... Expand
