Fantastic... one of the best sci-fi's ever

Rating: 10/10 (31 March 2005)

I Robot is great.
Free from pretentious Sci-Fi nonsense, this is a fresh, original idea with superb special effects, action and story- without those even being the best aspects. Welcome Will Smith: tough, muscular cop who is willing (in a clichéd fashion) to go against the system.
It may be clichéd, but in such a way that it's a treat.
He is on a murder case and he is determined to reveal that a (gasp!) robot (named Sunny) is guilty. But no-one will believe him. Because Robots have no brains, and are not programmed to commit crimes. But little did they know that a special breed was being reconstructed in frequent quantities...
If you ever read any negativity towards this film, blank it out of your mind. It might not be genuinely excellent, but it's style, charisma and huge likability send this directly towards a perfect ten.
Summary: 5 out of 5 (*****)
