Something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue.. Still really good!

Rating: 8/10 (22 July 2004)

I founded pretty much BORROWED things from I Robot. It's a bit of Matrix, Star Wars (New Episodes), Blade Runner, Minority report and Equilibrium but it still manage to be enough original to keep my interest on pretty good. It shows that the Director has seen many times the movies listed above but he still manages to give his own vision to the screen. Of course there are classic OLD tricks used to move along the story but I robot also brought many fancy NEW twists. Effects were used pleasingly much and they fit very well to the screen although there were scenes where you ended up thinking that; am I playing video game or what? But it didn't principally bother me. Overall the movie was technically very impressive.
Plot itself isn't anything very unique (once again references to the movies above). You can presume many coming events but to counterbalance it also gives you couple of surprise elements and is capable enough to carry its duties decently to the end. As a genre Sci-Fi is my favorite one and I robot as a Sci-Fi film satisfied my needs very well. Atmosphere in movie is believable and the mood was right (little BLUE like in Blade runner). World wasn't anything super Hi-tech creations, only a pretty natural looking common day buildings with Sci-Fi enhancements. Characters are decently written and especially Will Smith is doing a fine job as a character what seems to be just a right one for him.
Adding all together I would say that there would have been possibility to make the movie a little bit longer. Some questions remain open and interesting world would have need more time to introduce it's self to the audience but I really liked the movie. I robot is a fluent combination of Sci-Fi & action film.
8/10
