Skynet has been renamed to VIKI...

Rating: 7/10 (15 August 2004)

The best thing this movie has is Will Smith, the rest has been recycled from terminator series and the old idea of AI becoming self aware and becoming a threat to the humanity. Some nice special effects, definitely watchable only on big screen. I'd say it has unused potential,there is just not enough surprising plot twists, everything already been done before... Robots look like Star Wars characters.The idea of killing US Robotics top guy is unclear, looks like he suddenly had an attack of conscience, while during the whole thing he was displayed as cold blooded businessman, who didn't care about anything but his profits. The idea of the girl being the robot creator's daughter was not explored enough. The directors just haven't done much with it. However, regardless the recycled plot, the directing of screenplay looks solid for the most parts of the whole thing. That, combined with the fact Will Smith can make a bad movie look decent,and a decent movie look good - makes it a 7. Hopefully, the story can be continued, there is some obvious potential in it.
