A Summer Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (7 August 2004)

Anyone who is put off by the fact that this is a summer popcorner starring Will Smith should hold those issues aside and go and see I,Robot. The Crow director Alex Proyas has delivered a stunning, atmospheric techno thriller that proves that there is nothing wrong making a summer movie with BRAINS as well as brawn .... Will Smith gives a mature and understated performance as Detective Del Spooner, while Bridget Moynahan delivers a chilly rendition of Asimov's character Dr. Susan Calvin. Despite fantastic performances from both Smith and Moynahan, the real star of the show is Alan Tudyk (transformed into Sonny by some of the most beautiful CGI committed to the big screen ever) as Sonny, the robot with a soul ...
Fantastic work all round, finally we are treated to a summer movie that you actually leave the cinema thinking about. A big slap on the back to all involved. Well done everyone! I, Robot / 2004 / Fox / Dir: Alex Proyas 10/10
