Everything works

Rating: 9/10 (16 August 2004)

This movie doesn't achieve awesomeness in any way. It is, however, fun, exciting, and smart. Well, smart for a summer action movie. It has some thought-provoking issues about AI and such. It also has enough cool action scenes to not be boring for all but the most jaded viewers, and a few plot twists to keep audiences guessing. The futuristic cars were well-done too.
The characters in the movie were OK too. Will Smith plays the same kind of guy as he always does, so don't see this if you hate him. Dr. Calvin, the robot psychologist, is less than stellar, but her blandness doesn't detract from the movie. Alan Tudyk's portrayal of Sonny is nothing short of masterful. All in all, a fairly good movie. 8.5/10
