I, Robot (2004, Dor. Alex Proyas)
It's 2035 A.D., where robots are everyday objects and are programmed to live alongside humans. Detective Del Spooner is called out to investigate the apparent suicide of the scientist behind these robots, Dr. Alfred Lanning. Spooner suspects that the death might not be a suicide, but the result of one of the robots. All robots are programmed by three laws, but Spooner starts to wonder if a robot can in fact feel emotions, and possibly murder. But if Spooner's suspicions are true, he is going to have a hard time convincing everyone.
"I,Robot" is an incredible action movie which were definitely a summer hit of its time. This story is actually interesting and never really been used before. The special effects were amazing, and all the robot looked amazingly realistic. Alan Tudyk should receive credit for bringing Sonny to life. The film has perfect casting, with Will Smith fitting it the role well, and Smith and Shia LaBeouf bringing some wonderful comedy sequence. There are some great one liners, and you will definitely have a laugh. Do not underestimate this film.
