A decent enough movie. Will Smith stuck in yet another Sci-Fi role. Visuals are good, story is predictable but entertaining none the less. Overall: This is a movie design for one purpose.

Overall: This is a movie design for one purpose. To be fun and enjoyable, and that it is. It isn't deep, it isn't original and it definitely doesn't have any memorable performances (aside from Sonny, who is perhaps the only character with some depth.) But again flaws aside (brain at the door) it is allot of fun.… Expand

I really enjoyed this movie. It's entertaining throughout, visually striking, and occasionally even poignant.

It's entertaining throughout, visually striking, and occasionally even poignant. Perhaps it's true that the movie doesn't have very many original ideas, but the old ones are still given a suitable update here. It's well paced, never boring, and actually quite memorable. Sonny, the main robot character, is a pretty impressive c.g.i. creation. What's most impressive about him is that he actually feels like a character with emotion, and not just digital eye candy. Smith also gives a decent performance in the lead, even if it's not quite up to par with his work in I am Legend. Why wasn't there ever a sequel?… Expand

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

There are not very many movies that have everything you look for. I, Robot is one of those rare films. It has action, suspense, drama, romance, robots, Will Smith shooting stuff, and great lines.

I hate Will Smith... but the plot and action are terrific. This movie actually made me respect Will a little more. Besides, he delivers some great lines. Such as when he sneezes then says, "I'm sorry, I'm allergic to bull...." Classic.

This movie was a thrilling movie with a very good twist at the end and good backstory behind Sponner's actions.

Great Movie! Lomax H. obviously missed the whole point. It wasn't because a robot saved HIS life, it was because a robot saved HIS life INSTEAD of a little girls.

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!

I don't know why this was panned by critics - a great envisaging of Asimov's work, and cool special effects to boot. Spooner is a great character, and there are even comedic moments. Really enjoyable.

Underrated film, that is actually brilliant. Like War of the Worlds and Minority Report this is a Sci fi, with some meaning as well as action and humour. I like the retrospectives.

It's interesting when the users and the critics diverge on a movie.

You can't blame people for going to see the film that the studio was pitching in the trailer, finding a different movie, and being disappointed. This isn't an action thriller, but a character study. Also, it didn't have the infinite budget of a Lucas or Spielberg film, and I'll bet it didn't look as good on the big screen as it does on DVD. Lots of fun references to every robot movie in the past. Lots of fun detail of it's future non-dystopic (for a change) world.… Expand

This is my #1 favorite movie of FOREVER. There are so many Sci-Fi movies these days and books and what-not, Sci-Fie just plainly isn't very good anymore, but THIS makes a difference. Some scenes have such great camera work, it made me dizzy! The story is incredibly entwined from beginning to end and leaves you in suspense and also the thing (or person) you think is the bad guy is not what you think when you first see it! Qualities: Sci-Fi, cute moments, suspenseful/thrilling, great camera work, incredible affects, complex yet still easy to follow plot, clever twists, compliments Sci-Fi, originality put into the classic 'Robots turn evil', action, puts a new look on a few things.… Expand

The critics of this movie really suck. This movie is awesome and everyone I know whose scene this movie loves it. How did it get such a bad rating? Really a 59? And a 6.8? hmmm...

Very enjoyable. The CGI is done very well and Will Smith did a great job. It is a very original plot with action, drama, comedy and sadness. The way the robots are programmed and constructed and how they are used by mankind was done very well.

It is over the top and stylish even for a futuristic movie like this. Will Smith also provides a decent performance here to provide it the extra boost.

The supporting cast is great as well, but as usual, Smith owns his role and his character here is one of his most interesting characters he's done in action movies.… Expand

Through the plot was though a feeling of thrill at times which could of been extended greatly but the thrills I found moderately good. The biggest facet of the movie was the CG. The robots moved in an interesting inhuman manner which I found quite enjoyable to watch, as well as the androids appearance. The progression of the storyline was a tad sluggish and didn't leave much time for us to enjoy a decent amount of action. But I do consider the movie a good movie for it's visuals and watching the finishing of the somewhat sluggish plot, it was a very interesting ending, as well as watching the action and CG. It's a nice movie to have in a collection at least to pick up and watch when in the mood for such a movie.… Expand

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.
