Bad Acting, Bad Script, Good Story, Good Themes

Rating: 6/10 (1 November 2009)

I thoroughly enjoyed "I, Robot". It is an interesting mix of the "what-if" scenario, along with subtle hints of human faults and the debate over artificial intelligence.
Will Smith, for acting as the main character, does not do a fantastic job in this film, but it is passable. Many of the other actors in the film are hard to watch. For instance, Bridget Moynahan is absolutely awful. Alan Tudyk's personification of Sonny is believable at first, but then goes downhill when he starts talking like a human.
The script is poorly written. Jeff Vintar and Akiva Goldsman are not the best screenwriters the world has ever seen. However, the story is set firmly and they stick to it, making it a decent movie to watch.
The main theme in the movie are quite prevalent: robots (aka computers, phones, cars, etc.) are not human and should not be left to make human decisions, such as rescuing a person from a car crash. The films conclusion is predictable yet necessary, and brings the movie full circle.
I would recommend this movie. It is not a bad movie, but it is not one I would demand every person in the world to see before they die. I give it 6 stars out of 10.
